Clinching 101: How to Pummel for Underhooks

How to pummel for the underhooks for Wrestling, Submission Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Mixed Martial Arts. The underhook is one of the single most dominant grips in the clinch but is highly misunderstood and under utilized after you learn how to use your underhooks and use your footwork to manipulate your opponent it opens up your game to tons of strikes, takedowns, and submissions standing and on the ground.

ENJOY!

Clinching aka the "Up and Down game of MMA"

Here's a great vid I like to refer people to when they start getting into clinching and understanding it's importance in MMA, Muay Thai and Self Defense. What you'll notice is use of the primary control points of the body. The Crown of the head, the neck, jaw, ears, shoulders, biceps and triceps, wrist, hips, knees, and ankles, using single and double neck ties, underhooks, overhooks/whizzers, bicep tie ups, along with great wrist and ankle control.

Stephan Kesting and his partner Ritchie Yip do a AMAZING job of going over the rematch between Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir at UFC 140, including the amazing Kimura that ended the fight.

Learn and enjoy!

January 7th Workout aka The Copa Nova Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament

Well there's a long story behind this one so I might Come back and edit this for the full story but right now I just want something up.

Long story short, I quit grappling for 4 weeks to do a Muay Thai fight, after that I had to let some injuries heal, and then work got super busy so I couldn't make my usual class times or meet my training partners for a good roll here and there like before. So anyway I told some friends I was going to do the Pan Ams, and possibly the worlds in BJJ which are pretty big deals so after saying that and driving home I found it impossible to look myself in the mirror with those goals and not do the Copa Nova which was only 8 miles from my girlfriends house. Sooo I signed up for a tournament with 5 days notice and with only about 45 minutes of BJJ training in 4-5 months. But hey, I'm the kinda guy who's competed before and looks forward to losses because I know they make me push for something better.

Aaannnyy Way below is a break down of what happened. Not my best competition but I GOT IT IN!!! I didn't let my fears stop me, i didn't let my excuses stop me. I DIDN'T LET ME STOP ME!!!
