As far as clinch work is concerned in Thai boxing...it is one of the most important aspects of the sport, also separateing it from all other martial arts.

The clinch can be very deadly if you are fighting a person who is skilled in that aspect. I don't think taking knees to the stomach and ribs is fun, do you?

The clinch is also where you can "get a break" if the fight is intense, but once again you have to be skilled in that aspect.

Overall......it's very good and just as important as everything in thai boxing.
