Outstanding video. It is so nice to see the humbleness that you have facing this incredible fighter. Others may claim different. I have always enjoyed when I see a good fighter that can be humble at the same time that he shows a willingness to learn. It show a lot of maturity and understanding that martial arts are not to show up but to to grow as a person, physically and spiritually. This is also a lot of good information with very simple moves that can be applied without effort. I hope that everyone else that watch it can learn and grow too. I know I do enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Hello friend, I would like to share with you a message of God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God only through faith in him are we forgiven and saved he loves you. With out Jesus Christ there is no life eternal and no forgiveness of sins. We all have sin amd fallen short of the Glory of God. Through faith in Jesus Christ and believing thag He died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day, and asking for forgiveness for your sins,turning away from them.you can recieve the free gift of God of Eternal life through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. The wages of sins is death, but the gift of GOD is ETERNAL life through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. Jesus Christ is the Son of God He is the way the truth and the life no man comes to God The Father but by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ loves you and wants all to be saved. Have faith in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. It is by Faith in Him and His Grace and we are saved not by our works lest anyman should boast.

[@KMAAcademy2020]

I’ve clinched with Yothin FA Group, Singdam, the Sitjaopho Twins, Komphetlek Lookprabat,the Hongthong brothers, the Pinto brothers and sooo many more. And literally It took me about 13 months of clinching twice a day ,6 Days a week in Thailand before one day it just clicked . Drills are ok, watching vids are ok but to truly excel in the clinch you have to get your ass handed to you by people better than you, put the ego aside ,take your dumps and getting locked on and then one day you’ll notice the tricks you used to get caught with no longer phase you.

The clinch is a dirty but relaxed master game of chess. So many people think it’s all brute strength when in reality it’s the complete opposite. It’s a chess match of being relaxed while making subtle adjustments to body angle, arms, head, core, etc. I remember when I first starting clinch training (neck wrestling) and simply tried to “out strengthen” my opponent. Then when I neck wrestled very skilled individuals I would get so gassed out in 20-30 seconds and they would be straight chilling… while destroying my life. Very uncomfortable and extremely valuable lesson learned as I got more proficient in “relaxed dirty chess” we like to call “the clinch”. 🙏

[@nickjones1537]

definitely need a part 2

[@FunkMasterUFC]

Really cool stuff from Petch! Thai clinching seems to be fizzling out in MMA, probably because of poor technique and maybe the TD aspect from wrestlers. But if applied correctly, the clinch can be a very deadly place to fight in, if done correctly, as seen here.

[@Epig420]

I feel no kicking or kneeing a downed opponent kinda neutralizes alot of the things the clinch is designed for (knee on belly strikes, elbowing the neck etc) failing a single leg isn't as dangerous when you dont have a kick to the face coming

[@Z3N1T4]

It will come back. I find the muay thai clinch amazing because it gives you an option to attack up high. Wrestling is great for attacking the legs but get them in a strong clinch even once and they are now worried about defending their head too. Which makes grabbing the legs easier.

[@JimmyPtheman]

@ Well said Aimee!

[@johnbowman3630]

The real reason for that isn't that the clinch isn't effective, it's because of how vulnerable both fighters become when so close. You can inflict a lot of damage, but so can your opponent, and small mistakes get magnified and punished harder. Modern fighters like to keep more control of the fight with their own strategy whatever that might be, and clinching makes all that planning go out the window giving your opponent a win condition that didn't exist before

[@spacegoat_3d801]

It’s mostly used when up against the cage now
