ways out? of course there are, and many ways are ON the dvd in fact, but ducking is the #1 way NOT TO get out of the double neck tie and the reason is pretty clear on my DVD for example. How are you gonna uppercut when I've wrapped up both of your arms???

Ya, and what are the limitations imposed on your "fighting style" by the clinch? If anything you gain the opporatunity to directly control and manipulate the opponent as opposed to only indirect control offered by having no contact and trying to "be in and out."
