@MrCACHIZO

If he clinches like this i highly doubt it.

Although a moron with nothing relevant to my fair comment to reply with is to stupid to know whats going on.

[MrCACHIZO]

@403766 musa we know him he's professional he'll whoop ure ass

[MursuTheMan]

Its not a tight clinch, its a THAI clinch!!! Like in muay thai!

@rooster26730

Lol, good ranks but go to a muay thai session and ask the guy about a clincho can just walk outta this his forearms aren't even close to his face, THE GUY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE LOL. Surely you must agree thsi isn't good I'm tellign people so that if a new guy comes on here he won't clinch like this.

@rooster26730 5 months mma ;) plus 3 years karate, 2 years bjj and a little bit of muay thai (prob 2 months lol).. but yeah i train next to and occasionally with professional fighters.. few even lucky enough to make it into the ufc.. i know a very weak clinch when i see one.. surely you agree this isnt a good clinch..

[rooster26730]

@SirRuneRange4 You have been training for three whole months now. Why don't you ask one of these guys to spar with you. Maybe you could teach them a thing or two or maybe you should just be a little bit humble.

[rooster26730]

@403766 well dude, I've got rank in brazilian jiu jitsu, judo, and karate. I've also done some mixed martial arts and have run into this clinch myself from the other end. It really can suck when a guy knows what he's doing. You should keep in mind that they were just demonstrating the technique. If you don't learn what I am about to tell you, you will never succeed in any martial art. Simply put. For every technique you apply there is a counter for that technique and another counter.

[SirRuneRange4]

you can avoid them being able to hit back above the body if you lock your forearms and elbows into their chest and close the gap between ur chest and their head.. personally i thought that was very very basic in a muay thai clinch :/ also doing that makes it ALOT harder for them to escape

[arlordd]

In real street fight - guy to the left, instead of kneeing him - kick the balls, if not a knockout, then you got his head right before you with no defense coz he'll be too busy holding his balls <3

[403766]

Wow, no-wonder no-one kows these "proffessionals" I've done Muay Thai for 3 months now and I already know how to clinch better than these guys you could just wlak backwards out of this there is no control you gotta squeeze your elbows together with your forearms on his head to control him and make it hard for him to get out ppl don't listen to these video's they are shit.
