Mastering the Clinch in Muay Thai: An In-Depth Examination of Ajarn Chai's Teachings

 Few Muay Thai techniques are as complex and powerful as the clinch. The clinch provides practitioners a domain of control, strategy, and powerful blows; it is a real monument to the arts of combat. Under the direction of the World Thai Boxing Association (WTBA) and the great Ajarn Chai Sirisute, we set out on a thorough quest to discover the keys of clinch mastery.

Getting to Know the Clinch

Fundamentally, the clinch is a close quarters grappling stance used in Muay Thai to subjugate and control opponents. Putting oneself in a position of strength and leverage, one wraps their arms over the neck and shoulders of their opponent. In Muay Thai, clinching opens up powerful knee blows, sweeps, and throws, unlike in Western boxing where it's frequently employed to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

An overview for Ajarn Chai's clinch

A fundamental part of Muay Thai strategy and technique, the clinch is not merely a powerful position. For every practitioner hoping to succeed in the ring, clinch escapes must be mastered. These methods have been taught in great part by Ajarn Surachai "Chai" Sirisute, a well-known member of the global Muay Thai community. This page explores the techniques and philosophies of clinch escapes as taught by Ajarn Chai, providing understanding of how fighters might convert defensive positions into aggressive ones.

Fighting in the clinch, competitors are positioned very near to one another and usually gripping each other's head or torso. This is how you control your opponent in Muay Thai and execute elbow and knee punches. To keep a tactical edge, Ajarn Chai stresses the need of controlling as well as getting out of the clinch.

Techniques for Clinch Escapes: 1. Swim for Inside Control
'Swimming' the arms inside the opponent's grip is one of the main methods Ajarn Chai teaches to obtain more control and leverage. Clinch escapes that work require this inside control.

Stance and Body Position:
2. Ajarn Chai instructs his pupils in creating space and slipping out of the opponent's grasp by using dynamic footwork and body placement. We stress balance and proper stance to avoid being overpowered in the clinch.

  1. Using the Turn: Turning your opponent is a further useful escape strategy. Breaking the clinch and either escaping or moving to a more advantageous position allows a fighter to reroute their opponent's momentum and balance.

The fourth is counterattacks:
Ajarn Chai recommends launching counterattacks right away when a clinch is lost. This helps to keep the opponent under offensive pressure and also takes advantage of their brief weakness.

Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) - Thai Recipes

Alright everyone, I've been receiving some requests to post some Thai recipes, so this is my first attempt at filming and publishing a Thai street food recipe known as pad kra pao gai (ผัดกระเพราไก่), and I'm excited. When I first moved to Thailand, most of what I did was only eat, and discover all the amazing food there way. I lived in a small studio apartment without a kitchen, so I wasn't able to do much cooking or sample the many Thai recipes I had wanted to try out. But after getting married and moving into a house, we now have a kitchen, and while normally my wife and her mother do the cooking (which is outstanding by the way), I have had a chance to make some Thai street food recipes as well. For this Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) here are the ingredients you'll need, but really, you should click here http://wp.me/p4a4F7-24u to see all the ingredients and directions on my website. 1 egg 2 tablespoons of oil for frying 1 chicken breast (or any other cut of boneless chicken, about 200 grams) 5 cloves of garlic 4 Thai chilies 1 tablespoon oil for frying 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce ½ teaspoon light soy sauce ½ teaspoon sugar 1 splash of dark soy sauce 1 handful of Thai holy basil leaves 1 plate of hot freshly steamed Thai jasmine rice - I also really like brown rice. Now, the ingredients listed here for the Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) are what I used. But that being said, Thai food is very much a taste based cuisine, meaning that you really need to taste test your cooking. Don't just assume all these measurements are correct for your taste buds - and sometimes the seasonings we use can differ a bit. So use these ingredients and cooking directions as a guide instead of as exact measurements. Hope you enjoyed this Thai basil chicken recipe. I will be publishing a few more like this video in this series.
