I am sure a bunch of the grappling forum guys saw this, but doubt much of f13 would have, so I figured I'd post it. Jordon Schultz (BJJ competitor) put this out as a sample grip strength workout (specific to BJJ).
Personally, I do find gi-specific grip work to help significantly (and I don't do nearly enough of it).

Gi Pull-ups pistol grip - 3 x 6
Handmaster Plus (Medium)- 3 x 20 (each arm)
Intermediate 3 to 4 Days a Week
Barbell forearm curls on bench - 3 x 20
Barbell curls behind the back - 3 x 20
Gi Pull-ups lapel grip - 3 x 8

Handmaster Plus (medium) - 3 x 20 (each arm)
Advanced 3 to 4 Days a Week
Thumb finger plate squeezes - 3 x 20 (each arm)
Handmaster Plus - 3 x 30 (each arm)
Barbell forearm curls on bench - 3 x 20
Barbell curls behind the back - 3 x 20
