    How to break a clinch?

    Sometime you and your opponent get into a clinch situation. It could be a dead lock that nobody can do anything and end with a bull fight. When this happen, it may be better to break the clinch apart and start all over again. One way to achieve this is by using "捅(Tong) - push" to push on the opposite side of your opponent's shoulder.

    What other methods do you like to suggest?

    yeah. That example wasn't really much of a clinch. When I think of a clinch I think of over hooks, under hooks, neck ties, and body grabs. A Llama Pai sifu put a video up a long time ago specifically dealing with clinch scenarios. was pretty good. For me in highschool wrestling a tooth pick worked pretty good to break up the clinch until one time it broke in my knee pad and stabbed me fairly deep under my knee cap. Thanks, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff, you jerk.

    SC clinch, Judo clinch, MT clinch, ... can all be discussed.

    Both you and your opponent have:

    - arms tangled (SC clinch).
    - sleeve and lapel holds (Judo clinch).
    - hands behind each other's neck (MT clinch).
    - ...

    OK MT clinch the best way is to release your grab, bring up your right arm and cross it over your opp both arms and down elbow into the bend of your opp right elbow, slam your elbow into this spot to get him to bend his elbow circle your hand underneath both his armswhile slightly turn towrds your left, adn with your left reach around his chin grab his chin and twist clockwise and down to the mat.

    double lappel grab is the same tech.
    boxer clinch, reach up with one hand and throw your oppents arm behind you, grab the trechea and trap the arm between your bicept and side of the body.
    very effective and very easy to do

    leg clinch such as the guard is to put your knee into his tailbone arch your back like a cat, this breaks the guard in seconds

    or you can drive both elbows into your oppn femural nerves ion the inside of the thighs, this hurts and they release right away

    If he's strong arming you with his lapel hand, you can turn your body slightly and allow him to push your gi off of your shoulder so you can get inside and throw.

    Clinches are very temporary. They don't just latch on and stay like an angry hermit crab. That would be useless.

    you can do a few things.

    you can push out, bump and go, reverse it, work in it, underhook, probably a few more things to and maybe even stuff that's obscure but simple. never know.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    If you get good neck control by closing the elbows you can use percussive force to move you opponent around by the neck while using knees or shins.

    for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W1DK1YyWd0

    did you see those shorts? I couldnt take him seriously wearing those shorts, and he beat up a gurl to boot!
    the second clip looked like Elvis.. and you cannto break that clinch that easy if the guy is using strength to hold on which he should be in a fight.

    My God youtube has allowed anyone to be a internet hero...... the invention of the internet was to make us smarter, but youtube is making us dumber!

    I think Im gonna punch in the face the next person that asks me if i can referrence my knowledge with a youtube video

    Learn to wrestle.

    Learn to grip fight.

    Learn to hand fight.

    Learn to neck wrestle.


    All of these will teach you how to deal with a clinch. Giving a specific technique is kind of pointless. The clinch is wide ranging, the variations subtle and intricate in both application and defense. It is arguably one of the most technical skill sets and ranges in a fight.
