I am a beginner in mma and today i recieved some serious strikes from clinchduring sparring and immediately searched this up thank you so much for this video i will definitely try these in my next sparring
I'm a Muay Thai novice and I was struggling in the clinch a lot at my last couple of trainings. The last technique of lowering the stance and straightening up is what people have been trying to explain to me but I wasn't getting it. I've been trying to pull my head back to straighten up instead of moving my base forward and I had to miss training yesterday morning because my neck muscles were so sore. Seeing you do it I think I can understand what my instructor and training partners were telling me. I'm going to clinch in my next sparring class and figure this out! I've also been practicing your technique for how to land a body hook on the bag. There isn't a lot of emphasis on punching where I train (some punching, but mostly kicks, knees, elbows and clinch).I know your channel is mainly aimed at fighters but it's helpful and inspiring to hobbyists like myself as well. Keep up the good work champ!
I'm thrilled to have everyone here. Beginners all the way to high level pros and I'm trying to make videos for all levels. I'm very happy if I'm able to help you understand the clinch. Try not to muscles your way though clinch. Whenever you want to muscle out of a position pause.... then use your brain instead. I know that's hard to do when someone is kneeing or tossing you around but that's when you will start to get better. Thanks for the comment. These give me extra motivation to keep making videos for everyone.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Tonight was sparring night. I held my own in the clinch thanks to using a better stance. One guy really loves clinching and every time he grabbed me I went into that low stance then stood up like you showed to where he stopped clinching because it wasn't working. I still lost almost every striking exchange and got pretty beaten up by the end of the class but on the positive side my clinch has improved. Progress is a slow process.
Just came to see this in 2024 since I was getting stuck in the clinch in sparring. Awesome to see you trying to hit the 5k milestone and 4 years later you're at 285k!
Can anyone tell me if judo and freestyle wrestling have a big difference when it comes to defending against this type of clinch in the video? And even if the difference is big, to what extent would a freestyle wrestler be able to at least not get knocked out if caught in a well-placed double hand clinch? And the judoka, what is the chance of him being knocked out in this type of clinch?
So much info and no filler. Love your channel!
The scariest thing that’s ever happened to me was a double hand clench knee to face so I appreciate this 😅

Awesome topic, especially considering how most gyms in the states lack good clinch training. Thanks.
Yes awful. I admit I still have a lot to learn though.
Thank you! Short. Accurate, and useful. Really appreciate it!
such a gr8 lesson! thank u!
Dude these are golden
Perfect
Thanks Gabriel
I wonder if a Judo sweep would work while being caught in a clinch.
Very cool. That last one isn't considered a trip? Just curious.
You can tell what was filmed during Covid cause we had to do Muay Thai outside 😂

Boxers and kickboxers trying to avoid the clinch when sparring Thai fighters unite 😂😭
Nice tactics for clench defense.
Thanks for posting.
Your sparring partner talks way too much though🤣

What about a headbutt?
Not permitted in a traditional UFC match.
Rich Franklin could’ve used this advice against Anderson Silva many years ago

A gun works perfectly
The man took the bullet and flexed his muscle so hard he shot the bullet faster than my gun could. What do I do?

The second escape, he could elbow u in the face
5000 followers stuck ina collor
not very technical the way it's shown. Without proper use of shoulder and turning, that face push would be weak.
The shoulder shrug and stepping in sideways is a much better technique.
