Clinch and Cage

Most fights spend more time in the clinch than anywhere else, and it is the range most strikers never train. Five lessons on inside position, head control, striking from the ties, and what to do when your back finds the fence.

What you will be able to do

  • Win inside position with underhooks and head control
  • Pummel without giving up your back or your hips
  • Strike from the clinch without breaking your own posture
  • Escape the fence rather than surviving on it
