All of the WC techniques for inclose fighting not outside. Of course you can adapt your WC game for outside fighting. But inclose is faster an allows you to end the confrontation quickly. If you develop your inside fighting skills to a high level. Once your in clinch range or stand up grappling range few opponents will be able to deal with you head to head and toe to toe.
WC Kicks are suppose to executed inclose
WC Punches are short range
Inch Power is develop for inclose explosive strikes
Every Two Man drill is to get you comfortable executing the techniques face to face with your opponent.
The very YGKYM which some say is not a fighting stance just for training is designed for inclose fighting.
