The Muay Thai clinch has proven over and over again inside and outside the ring to be one of the most formidable techniques in all of the striking based martial arts.

But the always entertaining Master Wong of the Master Wong Wing Chun Academy is here to teach you how to deal with an attacker using the Thai clinch against you in a street fighting scenario, so you can prevent yourself getting kneed into ‘kingdom come’ by your attacker.

Throughout the lesson Master Wong demonstrates techniques to use that wil deal with the element of surprise, how to block the incoming knee strikes with your forearms, breaking out of the clinch grip and how to create distance between you and your attacker giving you a chance to follow up with further attacks or simply escape the situation safely.

About Master Wong:

Michael Wong originally came to England at the age of ten as a refugee from Vietnam. He first took up martial arts as a result of being bullied at school. Starting his training with a Chinese Master in the UK, Sifu Wong progressed quickly in skill and after 5 years travelled to Hong Kong and mainland China to study with a variety of Chinese masters in his early twenties.

Training in a wide variety of martial arts has given Sifu Wong a foundation and skill level rarely seen in the martial arts world. It also allows him to provide a highly comprehensive teaching program for a great many students with differing requirements. This eventually led to the opening of the Master Wong Academy at Charles Street in Ipswich, becoming one of only a handful of full-time training centres in the region. [Source: masterwongacademy.com]
