Well maybe he's perfected the strong grip relaxed arm thing that is actually quite hard to accomplish (although at Nidan should be somewhat developed). Generally though people gripping with all their might stiffen their arm making it easy to escape the grip. Of course if the technique you're training is say, Shiho Nage, that's not what you want to do.
