  • Dont' ever do another instructional video again please!

  • THE ORIGINAL CLINCH GRABS THE OPPONENT BACK HEAD... NOT THE NECK...

  • I would reach up & snap off one of his fingers and stick it in his eye

  • I was taught both ways. I think the swim in is only if your opponent doesn't yet have a solid clinch. When someone experience has a tight clinch on you with your head down it is nearly impossible to swim in and your head and shoulders is facing downward so you can't bear hug. You cross face to create just enough space to move THEN swim in and get your own clinch.

  • Thats the quickest way to get a Rich Franklin nose.

  • This technique looks bogus, The basic swim through or bear hug technique is more effective. You want to limit the space between you and your opponent, not increase it as this technique tells you.

  • that works fine if he just stands there but a good clincher first would have you in a proper tight clinch and secondly would you your energy so if you pushed his head to your left then he would just use your momentum to rip you to the left.

  • dunne ..i dont know why britain ,never produces guys who fight in k1 or wmc any more...after france i think its japan other european countries ,austrailia then america . its weird but i feel sad not see brits up there ...

  • This is my opinion of what countries are the best at muay thai in ranked order

    1 Thailand east choice

    2 Holland i love there punch and low kick combos

    3 France

    $ England

    I was wondering if people agree with my opinion

  • I think most the world uses a class system of class A,B and C. Class A is knees and elbows to the face .
