CLINCH TRAINING

Clinch training, or clinch sparring, is a really useful way to train for all kinds of fighting arts. Pictured here are Muay Thai boxers working on clinching techniques in a controlled way. I practice drills like this often with submission wrestling training clients as well as some of my regular training buddies. Working from a standing position in close proximity to your partner and exchanging punches, kicks, or simply working on maintaining a grip on each other with your hands and arms are all great ways to prepare for actual fights.
