A short clip of two western ladies that went to Thailand to train, and how their class was working on fighting from the clinch.

Not a bad idea as that type of training can be helpful to women getting out away from an abusive husband/bf/date. The camera man needed to stick to the ladies however but probably being the all encompassing videographer.

Interesting clip! Thanks, Carol.

It's interesting that they use a back 180 degree spin (approx, if I'm remembering it right; anyway, between 90-180). I use/teach this at long/medium range and call it a dragon spin (can be easy take down if I lower my hands during the spin; can whirlybird him along the ground if he's forced down mid-turn...all kinds of things). But it's really an eye-opener for me to see how effective it is at close range--they're able to move the opponent relatively easily with this technique.

So, thanks again. I learned something. :asian:

And by the way, anyone who thinks ladies can't fight just hasn't been to the right places yet. :D I still have bruises...Well, I'll tell that another time. ;)

Well I don't really see how this is that great. I guess it's a bit of an inside, and we get to see girls.

It's good because you can see how they train clinch in Thialand.

I'm not sure how much clinch work the girls have done before though. If none, it looks like they are the beginning of their training.
