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!

NO MORE EXCUSES!!! January 16th morning workout!!

EXCUSES KILL!!!


I've made a ton in the past week but now back to work. My morning quickee was

20 kettlebell slingshots
3 turkish getups on each side
10 clean and presses each side all with a 63lbs kettlebell

I got a quick workout in and I'm gonna do strength when I hit the gym today and do some deadlifts and some balance work.

I'm so glad I said "Screw the excuse! Now is the BEST TIME!!!"
