Clinch and Elbows (diary entry)

22.11.2021 The ninth hour of my client couple's course on Muay Thai clinch brought elbows into the clinch. Our previous lesson isolated the technical aspects of the major and minor elbow strikes. Now we looked at how to set up and execute these inside the clinch. Setups included breaking posture to allow slashing and horizontal elbows over an opponent's collar tie or uppercut and spear elbows from a fighter's own collar tie as well as using knee strikes as distractions. We then moved onto using a few dirty boxing tricks such as the shoulder bump and knee bump. The lesson was finished 3 x 2 minutes of specific clinch sparring focusing on elbow strikes.   https://clubbchimera.com/services/
