Some harsh words there guys! remember these are only some of the options that can be used. no tecnique works 100% of the time!

give em' a fucking break!

Some of those techniques would not work to escape a good clinch. The elbows should keep your opponent from closing the distance to apply double unders as the big guy did. I think the best way is the first technique shown, however you cant do it with two hands at a time or you're gonna get knocked out. Also, the hands should be placed at the back of the head not the neck. I am very disappointed in this technique.

YES INDEED GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING PUMMELING ,, EVERY ONE SHOULD GO ASK THERE HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING COACH TO TEACH THEM BASIC PUMMELING , ITS FOR FREE IN SCHOOL?.YES??

PUMMELING TO HOOKS AND COLLAR TIES.. COLLAR ESCAPES.

PUMMELING INTO CROSS FACE ,,BACK SAG AND SLIDE DOWN..

UTUBE HAS MANY MANY GOOD EXAMPLES OF PUMMELING ,WHICH IS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL MOVE IN THE CLINCH GAME(SWIMING)..

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO .

GO AND PRACTICE PUMMELING AND STOP ARGUING .

@MikeDunn I dont like whats hes teaching personally... because I'm 14 training with adults and swimming doesnt help in a strong clinch. Well, it does but its not efficient to maintain stamina and take fewer knees.

[kag35ninety6]

i dont like this considering it doesnt work against stronger guys. I'm 14 in an adults muay thai class. swimming doesnt work against a strong clinch, and double under hooks doesnt get you out. i was taught to press your pelvis in (gay but it works) towards ur opponents and get as close as possible, then swim for the dominant clinch position...

[tommatojuice]

so the idea with swimming is to get your arms on the inside of the other guys arms and pull him down?

Go ahead and learn from the 700 pound wonder. I'll stick to learning from the Thai's, the guys who live and breathe the sport.

[MikeDunn]

@yohodiablo - Your arguement is 100% ad hominem, and therefore, bullshit.

[yohodiablo]

@MikeDunn I'm not against the technique. But when i learn i want to learn the technique taught by a pro. A pro would'nt be in that wieght class, nor would of ever been. Thus his technique will always be below that level of excellence.
