Better Muay Thai Clinch Training – Focus On Your Elbows!

Heatrick Heavy Hitters – Muay Thai Performance

If you're serious about dominating the Muay Thai clinch, you need better Muay Thai clinch training... You've got to go beyond random training and focus on what truly moves the needle. Too often, fighters add bits and pieces of technique or strength work here and there, hoping it’ll translate to success in the clinch. Instead, imagine training with each movement aimed directly at strengthening your clinch. When every session is part of a bigger plan, those small actions add up fast, turning your clinch into an overwhelming force. In this video, I’ll dive into what makes clinch training truly effective and how you can start stacking small wins that add up to major gains. We'll explore not just the mechanics of a strong grip, or “meat hook,” but the positioning of your elbows and the kind of strength work that lays the foundation for unstoppable clinch control. By the end, you’ll have a strategy that can take your Muay Thai clinch to new levels—right where it counts in the ring.
