Emerging from the Muay Thai Clinch

16.04.2025

My client's 1.5 hour lesson continued his Muay Thai training by starting matters off in the clinch and we generally focused around this area.

1. Clinch only (no strikes)

2. Clinch with elbow and knee strikes

3. Clinch vs outside boxing

4. Ditto

5. Clinch vs kickboxing

6. Ditto

7. Escape the clinch and score

8. Ditto

9. Punches vs kicks

10. Ditto

11. Freestyle

12. Freestyle

After a static and PNF stretch warm-down my client and I decided on having longer final freestyle rounds to give him more time to work on integrating certain tactics and strategies. It will be an interesting experiment.
