Seminar brief:
Clinching and wrestling can be powerful tools for dictating where a fight takes place. Develop the comfort and skills to manage strikes, seek dominant positions, and initiate relatively low-risk takedowns from close quarters, and learn how we can also apply wrestling concepts to help ourselves get back to our feet when we end up underneath an attacker.
This seminar will be broken into three sections, each leading into the next.
Section one: Navigating the clinch. We will learn pummeling drills that help us move inside close-range fighting and develop a series of techniques that give us options for escaping and controlling from clinch positions.
Section two: Clinch takedowns. After securing dominant positions in the clinch, we will look at how to initiate takedowns from various control positions.
Section three: Wrestling up. Lastly, we will learn how to wrestle from bottom position in order to put ourselves back on top or return to our feet should the tables get turned on us.
Wrestling is hard work, and this workshop will be very physical, but the techniques should be approach to all levels of practitioner. So come ready to work hard and to learn a powerful facet of martial arts that you can apply to your training!'
