In the clinch, basics part 1: Methods of controlling the opponent and your options. Using holds on inside, outside, locks, knees, elbows, adhesion concepts, smashes, hooks, strikes, and more as a foundation.

Controlling their center via the center lock: Also called a 90 (degree) lock or S lock, etc. We show four variations using wrist, fingers, forearm and elbow (up, down, and counter-twist).

Controlling the body via head & neck control, using adherence principals via the hand, forearm, ridge hand, wrist, elbow, bicep & tricep areas to retain overall control and position. More options than simply saying, “Where the head goes the body will follow”, but retaining control and a defensive wall as well.
