i love how everyone gives Mr. Nelson comments on how to do the clinch. The guy has traveled the world to refine his clinch and it's one of the best. Paulson, all kinds of trainers bring him in for his standup grappling. Besides, he makes it as easy as it looks even when you're resisting! Coach Greg has trained several fighters including Sean Sherk and Brock Lesnar.

This is an awesome video--definitely one to put on FAVORITE and study...

one of the best i've seen..

Greg Is the roughest toughest muay thai boxer in MN (at least).. had the pleasure to train under him back in 2000 before the studio moved.. I may have to renroll after getting mopped in college :/

i'm a grappler so i loved the vid! i havent seen the full vid but one counter that i see a lot in actual muay thai events is using the knee to create space and check the opponents knee. its like you knee the guy and leave your knee there checking the guy's hip so he can't knee you back. it is very common in competition...is it in the full vid?

I agree, this video is very very very good!

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the technique called a "super Punch", or a leaping punch, one can cross a great distance in a short time and launch a powerful punch that looks like a lead jab and ends up being a full body straight right. I'm sorry about my ignorance, I am just learning and have a great respect for this style. Keep training and stay strong.

excellent!

i miss training at his academy.

@solpapisolmook from what i can see, it's harder to knee or kick correctly when your head/neck is being controlled and pulled down. your height, and your depth is being checked, which will control your range.. you'll want your hands on his arms to keep some control, rather than strike.. the person putting the clinch on has more stability, since they're using the other person. the person in the clinch, once they lift a leg, they lose alot of balance. just from eyeballin it, no MT training here.

Excelente!! muy buenas!!

สุดยอด LOL

@mizzike16 Right you are, lol, thank you for setting that straight!

@malaykoba2001 that it does search it im sure you'll find a vid like this on it

@ solpapisolmook In a Thai fight, its illegal. However, I do understand you: it seems that during the clinch, the groin area seems very vunerable. So the next time you're in a street fight, don't knee to the sides, just go directly to the groin or stomach ;)

@jimmyjoeh2o sounds like a superman punch

v. good

like fsf says, beware the elbows,

@ryanhoskins01 really??? What are you seeing?? Spent 5yrs training in Thailand and this shit looks pretty much like some great Thai clinching!!! Maybe you just dont know what you are looking for.

@jimmyjoeh2o Not to be an a-hole, but you said straight right, it's a right straight...I don't know, it's just a pet peeve of mine..

Greg owns Minnesota Mixed martial Arts. His website has a store where you can buy tapes. mmaacombatzone dot come

You've obviously never been in a clinch. (no offense) The clinch is exhausting and if you're in the clinch on the losing end your head is being pulled every which way... i.e. where the head goes the body goes. You could try and knee to the groin but chances are youll get thrown off balance b4 you do as the winning ends main objective is to increase distance and pull your head to his knee. As for punches to the belly, while int he clinch its almost impossible to get a straight punch to the gut

Is anyone jealous that I belong to greg nelson's class? And whats up with the weird indian spiritual music?

Malaipet Clinch DVD is better
