Advantageous clinch positions as a shorter fighter


Recommended Posts

Advantageous positions for short fighters in the clinch - this is probably the best place on the internet to ask this advice!

I'm a short guy, and all my opponents are at least taller if not also heavier, and I've been focusing on my clinch a lot recently having recently fallen a bit in love with the muay khao style and ethos. But I'm still pretty new to instigating the clinch and we don't do a ton of it at my gym.

I was wondering which clinch positions are generally good go-tos for shorter fighters?

I struggle in the position with both our arms locked, especially when my arms are 'over' and they have the inside bicep grip, usually I'm too far away to knee from this position but my taller opponent can drive straight knees up the middle with relative ease.

And I feel like I often have to over reach to the point where I lose my stability and base when going for the double plum hands on the head position. 

I can often get the body lock fairly easily and can dump my opponent from here, but struggle to really do any significant damage from here.

So my questions are: as a shorter fighter which clinch positions do you favour? And if you're a taller person, which positions do you struggle with against shorter people?

I'm a patron so if there's any library sessions anyone could specifically recommend that would be great also!

Thanks in advance!

    • I am soon to be 17 and I’ve been training Muay Thai for nearly 3 years now. I also happen to be doing quite well in school and plan to go to uni. However, that all changed when I went to Thailand last summer to train for a few weeks and fight. One of the trainers, with whom I have developed a close connection, told me not to go back home and stay in Thailand in order build a career. “You stay, become superstar” to quote him, as he pointed at the portraits of their best fighters hung on the gym’s wall. After realizing he wasn’t joking, I told him I couldn’t stay and had to finish my last year of high school (which is what I am currently doing) but promised him I’d come back the following year once I was done with school. Ever since, both these words and my love for Muay Thai resonate in me, and I can’t get the idea of becoming a professional fighter out of my head. On one hand, I’m afraid I’m being lied to, since me committing to being a fighter obviously means he gets more pay to be my coach. But on the other hand, it is quite a reputable and trustworthy gym, and this trainer in particular is an incredible coach and pad holders since he is currently training multiple rws fighters including one who currently holds an rws belt. And for a little more context, I don’t think this invitation to become a pro came out of nowhere, because during those few weeks I trained extremely hard and stayed consistent, which I guess is what impressed him and motivated him to say those words. Additionally, I was already thinking about the possibility of going pro before the trip because of my love for Muay Thai and because a female boxing champion who has close ties to my local gym told me I had potential and a fighter’s mindset. Therefore, I have to pick between two great opportunities, one being college and a stable future, and the other being a Muay Thai career supported by a great gym and coach. So far, I plan to do a gap year to give myself more time to make a decision and to begin my training in order to give myself an idea of how hard life as a pro is. This is a big decision which I definitely need help with, so some advice would be greatly appreciated.
    • When I've come out to Thailand to train (and holiday!), I've always trained just once a week for the first one. It takes a while for the body to adjust, especially with the heat and/ or humidity, and gives me a chance to recover and explore. After that, it depends on how I feel/ what my goals are. Sometimes I've switched to twice a day, other times I haven't. If you're coming out to fight, you might want to. If it's just to train, improve and enjoy your stay, sometimes twice a day is a slog. Your decision... Chok dee.
