    hmmm, shaolin does long, medium, and short range techniques. there are a couple ways out of the clinch that were shown in sifu ross's dvd. and there are other chin na ways too.

    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???

    and that I question the logic of martial arts that DELIBERATELY SEEK THE CLINCH IMMEDIATELY at the start of combat.
    I question the logic of spending all your time training to avoid something that is far easier to enter than it is to avoid, rather than training to take advantage of that fact.

    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."

    strike!
