Ramsey pausing for a second to remember a meme.. I felt that.

From my experience, clinching is often overlooked in many gyms. I feel that it is much more important than it seems. And you Sir, made the best sharing video and demonstration I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

This is easily a month plus worth of training. Lots of people think they know “the” clinch. But all they know is “a” clinch.

You two have inverse facial hair. Wholesome.

Thank you! I learned how to use arm drags in boxing from an old British boxing coach named Paul about 10 years ago. He said “I don’t know much about this new MMA sport, but I can teach you dirty boxing”, to which I replied “It looks like you understand MMA better than most people!” Since then, I’ve noticed boxers like Roy Jones Jr and Shane Mosley did it when they got in close, but it happens so fast I had to see it in slow motion to understand what was happening. It’s also funny that people call it “dirty boxing” when this particular technique is 100% legal: no holding during the strike.

There is a lot of Upright Clinch in medieval wrestling, and even if sometimes turns out slightly different (maybe because of rules, dresses or social context) this video helped me a lot in understanding some parts of that side of fighting I wasn’t still able to dig into! Thank you Ramsey!

Just wanted to say, I'm writing a novel full of people beating the crap out of each other, and your channel is incredibly helpful. Always interesting to hear your insights, too.

Appreciate the upload frequency! Always learning from you

that detail of back of the head rather than back of the neck for the collar tie was an eye opener!

You sir are an awesome teacher. The combination of knowledge, patience, and thoughtfulness makes you very easy to follow. Many people underestimate the value of being on the inside reducing the risk of damage from a taller longer opponent. Roberto Duran was a beast on the inside and he did some amazing work in the clinch.

Great vid Ramsey! My own coach often emphasizes the clinch and its importance in wrestling, so these types of vids are very helpful

Your channel really grew on me and became one of my favorites to watch. Came here because of the Self Defense Championship and first thought it‘s another one of these generic MMA/SD channels. Then I saw the video where you defended your actions during the challenge with blood/poop guys and the empathy you showed there was really unparalleled by any other „combat sports“ youtuber out there and that really got me hooked. The more videos I watched, the more I appreciate your insights, views and wisdom on life, fighting and martial arts (and comics 😅). So, thank you for your time and efforts and please keep it up. 🙏🏻

Outstanding instruction

good fighting lessons. good background music :D

I like how you always recap at the end.

Good video. I've had a habit of doing the reverse tie with underhook instead of overhook. Mostly cuz of a wingchun/kali parry entry I've practiced. As well as a habit from my old wrestling days, when I would have the underhook with a front headlock from blocking their shoot. I like 3/4 nelsons, but I dont use or practice them much, so I forget to use them.

Actually there are some very rare people who have organs on opposite sides. My mother in-law is one of those.

@@junichiroyamashita I wouldn't be able to speak on that as I haven't had the pleasure of training in any wrestling or jiu-jitsu. I do think some of the principles of baguazhang may lend themselves well to ground fighting, but I have not had too much chance to try. As for clinch fighting, lots of baguazhang concepts and principles are meant for clinch range or for transitioning into clinch range. So it could be a good supplementary art to Judo or other standing grappling arts.

Great video as always. Quick question, if youre on the receiving end of a clinch or a grapple and you anticipate that its going to lead into a throw, is it better to fall down in a similar way you do when youre doing drills or should you keep trying to resist? So do you fall with the throw or try to resist the throw?

Good question, I *think* its usually best to "imitate dead weight" if you're trying to limit the danger of being thrown. Idea being, if they strong enough to move ya around, you're relaxed on impact and they're more tired than otherwise. I may not be on point here, tho.

There are counter throws and takedowns you can use to end up on top but they are more advanced stuff. For example you get double collar while getting single legged and pull the opponent in your butterfly hooks using the momentum to sweep.

@RamseyDewey

3 жыл бұрын

Well, the borders of China are currently closed to the USA, but who knows what the future will bring.

Me and a friend of mine decided to pressure test some basic standing grappling moves, firstly with cooperation then with resistance to the move (but no strikes), just to see if they would work. We are both untrained but he is stronger than me. We've tried arm drag, arm triangle, hammer lock and wrist locks. All of which we discovered were completely useless against my stronger friend. All epic fails. However we tested the double collar tie and the old fashioned schoolyard side headlock. Both techniques executed with relative ease and pass the pressure test with flying colours. So far the head manipulation strategy is working fine. The arm manipulation is a no show, especially against a stronger opponent. Also the boxer's clinch works well, with head on opponent's shoulder. Just lean in and go deadweight. He will tire more easily trying to hold you up.

The palm fist salute is an old Chinese cultural tradition of showing subservience and or/gratitude. The fist represents a servant, and the palm covering the fist the master. It’s basically saying “I defer to your superior judgement”. It’s not a martial arts technique, nor is it intrinsically linked with martial arts. There’s another similar looking hand gesture where a fist is held in the other hand (as opposed to a rigid open palm) and shaken 3 times as an expression of thanks or a greeting.
