Thai Clinch Webinar

24.04.21 I was invited back by Ryukyukan Shorin Ryu Karate to teach a webinar on the muay Thai clinch. We warmed up with dynamic stretching, footwork and basic short-range weapon introductions. Then we moved onto the following areas. Elbow and Knee Strikes - We covered horizontal, slashing, spear and smash-down elbows as well as spear/long, diagonal and curve knee strikes Plum Position - Hand positions, forward, backward and pivoting footwork to break posture. This included a set up for a diagonal knee. Collar and Elbow Position - Hand positions, footwork and dominating the position. This included a curve knee drill used to bait and unbalance an opponnet. Locking Off - Moving to a dominant position to trap and unbalance an oppponent. This included a setup for a sweep. Transitioning from Stand-up to Clinch in Muay Thai - Using punching combinations to move into the clinch range. Check out our range of services and get in contact to book one!
