Simon Hayes, Brazilian Ju-jitsu 4th Degree black belt and coach, and also 2nd Dan black belt in Judo visited our Greenbank Club. He came along to teach ADULT students on transitions and techniques from our usual striking distance to clinch (vertical grappling).
Clinch fighting or trapping is the part of stand-up fighting where the combatants are grappling in a clinch, typically using clinch holds. Clinching the opponent can be used to eliminate the opponent’s effective usage of some kicks, punches, and melee weapons. The clinch can also be used as a medium to switch from stand-up fighting to ground fighting by using takedowns, throws or sweeps.
