Defence vs Muay Thai Clinch + other clinches (part one)

As requested - what we might do against an attempted Muay Thai clinch, plus other ideas for other kinds of clinch... Please bear in mind that we practice martial arts for self-defence and the protection of others, rather than for sport, so in this context the techniques are geared towards an attack of this sort should it happen as part of a real life assault.

@AureliusGuitar

Hi there, Joanna died peacefully after battling idiopathic parenchymal lung disease / pulmonary fibrosis for many years.

I'm sorry to have to announce that Joanna died on Sunday 6th March. I'm not really in a place where I can answer your martial arts queries but I shall be leaving the comments option open.

Please remember Joanna fondly as I do. Her passing is a great loss.

i take judo and muay thai, and i love them both. i am not hear to argue about how effective this moves will be. that is a waste on youtube. i have watched a few of this videos, and i was wondering the poor woman who keeps getting beat up in all the videos. i'm used a lot of a demo partner, and i know her pain.

@remshot1998

we started knocking stuff in for demos because people used to complain we were too gentle

Try this in real and die for real. Bad shame for you and for tai qi that you rip off. You not tai qi.

I have critisized some of your videos in the past, but I actually like this one. Especially with the head control movements off the elbow. Im opinionated but respectful. People will not always agree, but i do think you are a capable martial artist. Keep learning and sharing. :D

@martialtaichi people will complain no matter what.i always love when people compare mma,or ring sports as the best test if a martial art works or not.i even hear it with judo,how our throws only work with a gi,or it is just a sport.first,all judo throws can do done without a gi. second, if i change my throw just a little, it goes from a sport throw to throwing someone on their head.i guess my point, is people just dont get it,and i understand yur partners pain,but i'm sure she loves, like i do
