On this episode of "The Clinch" video podcast, we discuss how fighting styles (boxer, boxer-puncher, pressure fighter and counter fighter) mirror one's personality and talk about how priceless confidence is to winning. Watch the episode above which includes video of our sparring...
I doubt it's a spoiler at this point but Sitthichai has become the glory lightweight contender to face Robin Van Roosmalen for the belt. He was able to knocked out Kiria in the semifinals and won a decision against Josh Jauncey in his second fight of the night. Now to open up discussion, I have...
I recently came across a trailer for a documentary about the dying art of Haiti's martial art which involves the use of the machete. https://vimeo.com/112665822 The link contains that trailer and I Have since been on the search for the whole movie. I believe that it will be very interesting...
Keep up the great work! I'm getting tired just watching you lift lol. It's cool to see you track your progress so meticulously. I plan on strength training more this summer too. Good luck! - Jimin
Gonzalez has excellent fundamentals. His lead foot is like a heat seeking missile tracking his opponent's centerline and he's nasty on the inside too. Can't wait to see people take more notice of him after such an impressive HBO debut. Here's a great breakdown of the subtleties of his...
Thank you James! We're really glad you enjoyed the episode. Solid job on your breakdowns of John Makdessi on Bloody Elbow. I was reading them to prep for his fight against Cowboy. I look forward to checking out more of your work and please feel free to give us your thoughts on our future...
For the FIRST TIME on The Clinch podcast, we include video demonstrations to complement our discussion. We analyze how to use Dutch kickboxing to beat taller opponents and the evolution of Dutch Glory champ, Robin van Roosmalen, who shocked the world in Glory 20 by avenging his only KO loss to...
I don't think any one style of defense, for instance, the double gloves block, should be restricted. A combination of parries, stiff arms and blocks can create the most airtight defense possible. Be careful elbows don't sneak through your double blocks and your gloves don't blind you from seeing...
I feel that the body jab is very useful against a taller opponent because his body will often be closer to you than his head. After repeatedly catching him to the body, he will most likely pull his body back to protect it and thus, lean his head forward. That's a great time to land a powerful...
Thank you Sano1. We really appreciate your feedback and the compliment. Yes, in the future, we plan to make our video podcasts shorter and tighter. We can definitely think of ways to improve the production of the show in terms of the look and sound. In terms of adding a variable, we plan to...
I think the loser of Khabib vs. Cerrone will fight Pettis while Gilbert Melendez fights Michael Johnson. I think the pressuring style of Johnson and Melendez can challenge RDA's own pressure game more so than other opponents aside from Khabib with his aggressive Sambo. Styles really make the...
Hi James. I think that's a great idea. For our next episode where we'll do a post-fight analysis of Andy Ristie vs. Robin Van Roosmalen II after Glory 20, we plan to demonstrate the unorthodox stance-switching of Ristie in the video podcast. I've really been enjoying your work on Bloody Elbow...
