You two have inverse facial hair. Wholesome.

From my experience, clinching is often overlooked in many gyms. I feel that it is much more important than it seems. And you Sir, made the best sharing video and demonstration I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

This is easily a month plus worth of training. Lots of people think they know “the” clinch. But all they know is “a” clinch.

Ramsey pausing for a second to remember a meme.. I felt that.

Yeah Baby! That's what I've been waiting for.

2:08 If I remember right, in the interview after that fight Tyson said that it was the best punch he's ever been hit with!

I used the whizzer + reverse collar tie for a figure 4 earlier today against a much, much more experienced person earlier tonight. He knew to slip out of it quickly and reset but I'm counting that as a win

I had that exact same conversation with the wife last week. Well played sir.

For few moments, I see the perfect setup for thrust of freedom.

You cracked me open with the hickeys. Great video coach

Excellent * * * * * This video needs to be on everyone's favorite list * How much KNOWLEDGE / INFORMATION can you pack into a 16 1/2 minute video? I love how Ramsey wrapped Boxing into the Lesson = Very Valuable = 5 STARS * True Paul D'

11:18 I like those clinch entries with both hands

that detail of back of the head rather than back of the neck for the collar tie was an eye opener!

Just wanted to say, I'm writing a novel full of people beating the crap out of each other, and your channel is incredibly helpful. Always interesting to hear your insights, too.

There is a lot of Upright Clinch in medieval wrestling, and even if sometimes turns out slightly different (maybe because of rules, dresses or social context) this video helped me a lot in understanding some parts of that side of fighting I wasn’t still able to dig into! Thank you Ramsey!

Appreciate the upload frequency! Always learning from you

Your channel really grew on me and became one of my favorites to watch. Came here because of the Self Defense Championship and first thought it‘s another one of these generic MMA/SD channels. Then I saw the video where you defended your actions during the challenge with blood/poop guys and the empathy you showed there was really unparalleled by any other „combat sports“ youtuber out there and that really got me hooked. The more videos I watched, the more I appreciate your insights, views and wisdom on life, fighting and martial arts (and comics 😅). So, thank you for your time and efforts and please keep it up. 🙏🏻

Great vid Ramsey! My own coach often emphasizes the clinch and its importance in wrestling, so these types of vids are very helpful

I just got owned in the clinch so here I am. This is a great overview and I cant wait to start practicing these techniques! Thanks for sharing.

This was extremely useful, coach. We need more of this!! Love from Paraguay

You sir are an awesome teacher. The combination of knowledge, patience, and thoughtfulness makes you very easy to follow. Many people underestimate the value of being on the inside reducing the risk of damage from a taller longer opponent. Roberto Duran was a beast on the inside and he did some amazing work in the clinch.

Amazing video - so much to digest packed into a nice little package. Thanks for this!

Sick beats at the end Ramsey, sick beating during the video too.

Super useful, clear, informative - thank you again Ramsey!! 💪👌

Love your content man! Hands down my fav fight channel on KZfaq.

Woo! Time to polish up the old Dirty Boxing! Thanks Coach!

I'm a wrestler and fight tall long guys the Philly shell and movements I love it going to work it thank you coach

You Sir. Are a great instructor. Thanks for the video!

You are an awesome instructor! And you have great coach jokes! Thank you for the video.

I love your quality content! Thank your very much.

Amazing breakdown my guy! Super helpful - thanks!

Love it! More of this plz!

14:48 Im not sure if there was an audio glitch or something,or if that was the actual end of the commentary.

Perfect lesson. I'm very unschooled in this aspect of combat. 👏

Awesome video very informative. Thank you!

Excellent presentation! Many thanks :)

Taking notes! Thanks Ram!

This is awesome picked up some great technique with some great details.

wow so cool. u put muay thai in mma so smooth.this was open my eyes.

Very educational! Thank you!

great video! clinch fighting is so important

Great video of fundamentals. I learned a lot not being familiar with clinch fighting. Also Ramsey, I think you were always good but you have upped your game to the next level over the years. So smooth and effortlessly flowing in the strike combos and grappling transitions!

Love this♥️ very informative

Outstanding instruction

good fighting lessons. good background music :D

Very awesome video! Some brand new moves for me here, I only know two of these...

Happy New Year, Coach!!

I really like how you demonstrated clinch techniques that are permissible within boxing rules. This video is chock full of clinch technique backed by those head noddin Ramsey Dewey Phat Beatz Fo Da Streetz

He has a smooth calming voice that’s easy to keep your attention. This is really good info.

I like how you always recap at the end.

This is propably my favourite clinch video on youtube ! Before watching this, it felt very uncomfortable being in a clinch, but after following some of your tips (and many, many months of sparring and lifting), I am confident to say that clinching is one of the best tools in my arsenal ! You might not see this, but thank you Coach Ramsey, you're a great teacher !

Good video. I've had a habit of doing the reverse tie with underhook instead of overhook. Mostly cuz of a wingchun/kali parry entry I've practiced. As well as a habit from my old wrestling days, when I would have the underhook with a front headlock from blocking their shoot. I like 3/4 nelsons, but I dont use or practice them much, so I forget to use them.

Excellent!!

My God this is a gift to mankind. Thank you kind sir!

nice i go to a Dutch Muay Thai gym and there is very little focus on clinching, and id like to soon learn and be able to incorporate clinching effectively into fights and training as i want to be an all around good fighter

Great video thank you so much

12:48 invaluable advice there! 😆👍

Awedome video!

Great stuff.

Dewey! When are you coming to Brazil? If you ever do, come to Bahia, I will personally show you around. Of course, it would be an honor to train with you! Your videos are fantastic man, thanks a lot!

Learned more about the clinch here in this video than from high school wrestling. Maybe you could do videos the fundamentals of striking, mma ground fighting, and takedowns?

Good details.

That 3/4 Nelson into the Kimura was delicious lol great video.

Thanks bro... My dad always told me, "Where the head goes, the body goes."

This is easily the best tutorial i ever seen. I dont even do mma, i do kickboxing but had my first thai boxing class yesterday and was curious to how the thai clinches would translate into mma. This video explains everything so clearly i feel like a better fighter already 😂(😬)!

Straight gems

Very good video coach. For some reason I want to see your buddy Eddy(Eddie?) in a kung fu movie. He kind of has that protagonist look, it's awesome.

Ramsey, I love your content man! I was wondering if you could do a video like this on elbow techniques and how to practice them safely in the gym. Thanks! And best of wishes.

Thanks for the birthday gift coach. :)

Impressive video!

Actually really useful for me to experiment with. In my time of practicing the particular style of baguazhang my shifu teaches, I've made a bigger connection to clinch fighting and standing grappling in the movements I practiced than striking or ground grappling. Thank you for this video, Ramsey!

damn the whizzer clinch is hella NOICE!

The Closed Gate Position or Buddha Position in traditional martial arts is very similar to the double color tie.

Very nice

This is dope. Also making me miss training a lot :C

Can't wait to try the liver shot from 09.35, really cool!

very interesting content. Do you ever look at clinch work from Muay Chaya , Lethwei or Lerdit? would be nice to see in a video?

my stile of fighting is to tie up with an overhook on the left arm....knees and strikes with my right arm

That is a very solid clinching instructional on fundamentals. Love it! I’m assuming this is specifically for MMA? I see it’s effective as in general but I wonder if that is considering martial arts clinching as far as striking goes or is it specific for MMA. Thank you

Great video as always. Quick question, if youre on the receiving end of a clinch or a grapple and you anticipate that its going to lead into a throw, is it better to fall down in a similar way you do when youre doing drills or should you keep trying to resist? So do you fall with the throw or try to resist the throw?

Omg I wish I new this

0:53 ...Seems like a logical application for the salute done in Kung Fu forms. Or any form/kata where the hands come together as such. 👍🏻

Me and a friend of mine decided to pressure test some basic standing grappling moves, firstly with cooperation then with resistance to the move (but no strikes), just to see if they would work. We are both untrained but he is stronger than me. We've tried arm drag, arm triangle, hammer lock and wrist locks. All of which we discovered were completely useless against my stronger friend. All epic fails. However we tested the double collar tie and the old fashioned schoolyard side headlock. Both techniques executed with relative ease and pass the pressure test with flying colours. So far the head manipulation strategy is working fine. The arm manipulation is a no show, especially against a stronger opponent. Also the boxer's clinch works well, with head on opponent's shoulder. Just lean in and go deadweight. He will tire more easily trying to hold you up.

@10:40, the Pax de DEWEY

Some how, coach reminds me of Bob Ross's mentality: its all good, okay. Annything is possible, whatever move you do you make the of it

FYI: Slight modifications to clinching techniques for those who knows pressure points, practiced finger strengthening martial arts (ie. eagle claw), etc. would be devastating to opponent's muscle, tendons, and joints in non-sport combat situations. Also, from 14:42, the audio is gone

the more i look i can see a few moves from wing chun applications

Your Clinch and Grapple is so clean.

Can you do you a video on when you should start going from individual martial arts to MMA? Let me know if you need more explanation of what I mean.

The two dislikes were people that got beat in a clinch fight by Ramsey Dewey.

Do you have any videos with tips for clinching while wearing 16oz gloves?

Actually there are some very rare people who have organs on opposite sides. My mother in-law is one of those.

Nice video Ramsey...btw I grew an year older today 😊

SUBSCRIBED

It’s pretty funny that you I clouded the comment “the liver is on the right side of every human!” Haha

Reverse collar tie looks a bit like shuto uke 😁

Man. I havent practoed any martial arts for.... 3 years? I miss it bad!

0:52 I don't know if that was intentional but that is it!

nice

😎😎😎😎 kool ...lots to learn helps u name the moves.. let my son practice on me ha ha ❤️✌️
