clinching could be its own style? i have to hear more on this. there can't be that many ways to clinch are there? i mean there is the standing clinch which boxers use too, there is the clinch that i have seen muay thai fighters use where one opponent grabs the other behind the head with both hands and delivers knees to whatever part of the body happens to be open, but that's all i know.

a few friends of mine have fought in the cage for wec in california, and have all studied muay thai as well as bjj. they were working out with another friend of mine, that studies the same system that i do, and when it was his turn to do kicks on the shields he didn't go hard but they were impressed with the kicks he was delivering so the statement mtf made about kung fu not having the power i would have to say is false. you were right in your early assesment of being disagreed with.

i happen to study a chinese system that uses its shins as well so i know what it is like to go shin to shin sometimes, but i don't want to practice that all the time. you guys must have little to no feeling in that area if you train that way all the time. i saw that footage of the kickboxer or muay thai fighter that broke his leg doing a kick in the ring and man i had to grab my leg in pain. conditioning of this training must be a huge undertaking.

mtf i wish that you lived in california so we could get together and swap training excersizes and material. i think it'd be a lot of fun.
i read through your workout and like it. i will probably add peices of it to my own workout in the near fuiture. though i will not be in the ring, i am very interested in the clinching since i do not do this now. however we do teach how to get out of the typical clinching scenario, i would like to hear more about the variations.

thanks for the feedback.
