This does not seem horribly unreasonable. He's likely not doing anything funny with the whatever grip he has; he's more-or-less using it as a point of contact for dragging his foe around (or bringing his foe off-balance, if we were taling about takedown). There's nothing complicated about the armed grapple (and there's no leverage benefit, since he's not, say, trying a Sweep).

I'm inclined to think the same.

I wonder if that's the auctorial intention?

In any case, if he wanted to try a Sweep, he has that at full Two-Handed Sword too. Quite the armed grappler, our Sir Michael.
