Learned a basic Muay Thai clinch last week from Adam. The clinch is one of the skill I've yet to learn or experience. Although we did a bit of clinching during our Karate randori sparring and nage-waza (throwing or takedowns) training, it was quite different from the Thai clinch.Adam taught that the clinch can be used to:
1. Disable your opponent momentarily so that you can rest awhile.
2. Unbalance your opponent to slip in your power shots.
3. Gain a position of advantage where you can hit him more.
4. Safely disengage to a good position while slipping in a few parting shots.
I found the clinch to be useful when I sparred with Laurent. I was exhausted and I used the clinch to catch a breather while minimizing his shots to him. Cool! Going to train more on this area. |
