Thai Clinch (diary entry)

28.10.2024 Hour four of my teenage Muay Thai client's first course and we focused more on the clinch. 3-minute rounds were broken up with instructions for the next round: 

1. Clinching without strikes

2. Striking to enter clinch versus defence

3. Holding onto clinch

4. Escaping clinch

5. Free sparring

The session was finished with a round of pad-work, using the belly pad and the heavy uppercut bag. We switched between using long-guard to set up long knee strikes and clinching for shorter-range spear and curve knees. https://clubbchimera.com/services/
