In this video I analyse what I believe to be the most effective time-reward clinch technique from a muay thai perspective, although it can be used under K1 kickboxing rules as well.

This video has three parts, with each becoming increasingly more important. First I show the basic technique, which no doubt many people will be familiar with as it is quite popular. Next, I justify why I believe the clinch lock is so effective at amatuer level and should be learned. Finally, I show two extremely powerful knee and elbow followups that you can incorporate into the position, which wil llead to many TKO victories if applied well.

If you enjoy this video, have an idea for the next striking breakdown/analysis, or want to discuss/debate a point, please leave a message below. I’m always interested to hear other opinions.
