[QUOTE="MichaelH, post: 1401933, member: 14843"] As long as the grappler moved into the target's space when the grapple began, the grapple is maintained (PH, pg. 156, Step 4 under Starting a Grapple). Neither grappler must use an attack or make a grapple check to maintain the grapple. However, if one grappler is trying to escape the grapple, his opponent must win an opposed grapple check to maintain the grapple, or he breaks free from the grapple. You have to spend an attack to escape a grapple. If you are successfully grappled by your opponent and then your opponent tries to damage you by making an opposed grapple check, and you win the grapple check, your opponent does not damage you, but you have not escaped the grapple. When your turn comes, you must spend an attack and win an opposed grapple check in order to escape the grapple, or you can use your Escape Artist skill check instead of your grapple check, but this requires a standard action rather than an attack (PH, pg. 156, Escape from Grapple under If You're Grappling).
