"I am not a Kruu..." this chick is on the road to have the most fights in Thailand history and says she's no Kruu. While in the US we have dudes that have never climbed over the ropes forcing ppl to call them "kruu." Sylvia is a humble OG.
She will be recognised as possibly the most successful farang to fight on Thai soil. And it's very well deserved too.
northernmagi she definitely has the best combat channel going. She is open about her successes and her setbacks. No doubt about it the chick can straight up fight! Very inspirational.
Bad Wolf MMA this 👌💯
@เสือ - Payak indeeeeeed and you have to "wai" them every 2mn with a wai above your head like they are some King of Siam...
Here in San Francisco, at my daughter's gym, we have two former Lumpini and Rajadamnern champions who would laugh in embarrassment if you ever called them "Ajarn" or "Kru."
I found this seminar incredibly helpful; figured I would add times for the techniques.
7:06 Using clinch as a means to defend against a reach advantage
11:00 1. Proper framing for the half position
18:30 2. Controlling the opponent using technique over power
24:03 3. Angling off to create space to land the knee
28:48 4. The Lock
40:10 5. Face smoosh (lock escape)
45:21 6. Face smoosh defense
51:08 7. Arm hook
57:05 Review
Thank you!
Nice job, thanks man
The most complete clinch video I've seen in my hundreds of hours watching Muay Thai TH-cam. This is wicked helpful
Thank you so much. It means a lot to hear such positive feedback.
This is amazing. Finally someone demystifies clinching starting from the basics! Silvie has a real gift for articulating complex concepts.
I
Very good teacher. Even when she's forgotten something, she says 10 words, and then it's crystal clear.
I remember the first time I realized Cheng Pei Pei as the Golden Swallow was my first female hero, and the paradox that while it didn't matter that she was a woman, it still felt good to know that I had found one. The more of your stuff I watch, the more I think I found my second woman hero. Watching your early recordings with Master K, and him telling you to thrust out your hips for the knee, and you having trouble with it, to you making videos ten years later, scarred up, teaching how the greatest muay thai fighters of all time have taught you to approach the concept of knees differently, hits me right in the gut. What a story, and what a hero.
Thank you.
Let's go Sylvie! To me you're one of the most important figures in Muaythai
I appreciate that.
My Notes on Sylvie's clinch intro
How the clinch is her saviour as a shorter fighter
Arm around neck, elbow pushed into front of chest, leverage
Keep head in nook for contact control "burrowed in like a tick"
Spin from closer position is easier that further away, like swinging ball on a string
Manoeuvre using whole body not just muscling around with arms
Ideally don't make space by moving back, but by pushing opponent back (though can pivot)
Escape from face mush
#1 (easiest but for some reason uncommon) move face
#2 wrench arm 46:00
Secret bonus move
Your left arm is inside
Thumb down so elbow pointing up
Get your elbow up over inside
Then crank it in, like uppercut, then you have control
Think of clinch more like a marathon, constant jockeying for position, rather than decisive "I've scored"
To Sylvie's thinking, less about fixed combos, and more about general principles applied with intuition (built from practice)
Thank you for that!
Sorry I know I’m posting a lot! Lol but just watching her move these men around effortlessly using PURE technique and not force is an absolute joy to watch. We don’t get many opportunities to see a master at work. She probably would refer to herself as a masterBut I know what one looks like when I see one
I love clinching and this seminar is best I've seen on TH-cam.
You're *that* teacher. the type that, like a math teacher I had, could teach a 10-minute lesson on calculus, and then you know pretty much everything about integrals by the end.
Ii'm thai guy
I want to tell you all
She really deserves to be a master or "Kru Muay Thai".
Sylvie Clinch way is not just a Basics, this is for Fight.
Conventional wisdom: Don't clinch with someone taller and heavier than you
Sylvie: Hold my Chang
This made me laugh aloud.
It sucks trust me I tried doing it to a sparring partner that is 6' 8" such a bad idea. But I think I'm gonna try it again after watching this video
@@HAKIMJESUSISLORD wow, that's a big partner. Use the "Sylvie"; get your forehead under their chin and lock it with a long clinch. It's mean but effective. Double unders, body lock if you're allowed. If you can break the posture (maybe the forearm across neck demonstrated in video) you'll be in a good spot since it's going to be difficult for 6'8 to get hips back. Depending on your height disparity it might be difficult to get to the body if you do get them crunched over, if so attack the legs
She's more like a Singha gal.
@@HAKIMJESUSISLORD that's a bit tricky at first, but with continued sparring, I hope you come away with the same conclusion I did, that once your inside game is great, you prefer a taller opponent, like Tyson did. They can't do much up close, because they can't snake those long libs as easily. It's a rouse, keep working. That's the old world talking to ya, and you still believe it. Course, I'm a Judoka, so for me, I balk at the tall and lumbering. More like "I got up for this?" than "Where is my sling and stone, cause that dude's Goliath..."
I've watched this girl evolved from the time she was being trained by Master K in his basement to this day. She definitely came a long way. Much respect to you Sylvie!
Etymology of the word “Kru” is kuru, guru, meaning weight or heaviness, meaning the duty of a teacher is heavy.
It’s not all about knowledge or mastery, it’s also responsibility.
I am only 22 but i remember playing Altered Beast as a youngn, now when clinching i think "Welcome to your doom" :) I feel blessed to have found your channel. Teaching not just technique, but also of the history and culture, the tradition and the why? I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I will subscribe to the MTL with my next check and i will learn from you in person one day!!! Living legend, Thank YOU!
I've stumbled upon this video, I don't know anything about muai Thai, but the treasure of body mechanics, proprioception, balance, and weight distribution are simply priceless for any kind of martial artist, and even for dancers ! I personally teach salsa, and practice bjj I appreciate very much this bulk of knowledge and skills.
Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it.
Sir, you stumbled upon the best clinch instructional I've ever seen and I love love love to clinch and I play instructional videos for every meal! And I have a lot of meals 😅
Had a Thai trainer many years ago in Australia it was all clinch clinch clinch! I'm to old now to throw good kicks anymore but I can still clinch the shit out of people! Thanks Sylvie for your great determination and love for a beautiful sport ! Respect from oz
Fan comes in to give hug to their idol Sylvie - Sylvie auto clinches Fan / lands a knee - awkward silence - lol
She'll also make that sound when she knees you "pang!"
sageandchris 7 haha!
Quickly sweeps and dumps them . LoL
Absolutely excellent seminar, the hour felt like ten minutes, principles, basic and not-so-basic techniques, details, jokes, from someone who has very objectively proven these skills time and again against opponents who are almost always bigger.
Teaching is a very different skill than doing, and Sylvie has it. Maybe from all the years of being such a receptive student to a variety of high level instructors? Yes, but it's more than that. Great video, thank you for sharing, ka kun maak krap
That elbow in the chest/clavicle unlocks a huge part of the clinch I feel like nobody talks about, a lot of instructors would have you hang on the neck and attempt to muscle your opponent , thank you Sylvie
I was a Patreon for years, but lost touch with your content. TH-cam served this up for me randomly just now. Grateful for that, and will sign up again. Love your stuff. Keep going.
You ARE ABSOLUTELY A KRU Ms. Sylvie!!! You break things down and highlight key points like the champ you are. So blessed to be able to see this here in Rural Tn!
I love the way you say “Bong!” On the knees.
Wow I effectively learned the clinch watching this video and able to teach it somewhat. This is truly a gem, thank you so much Sly!!! I can kind of figure out how dumps and sweeps work from this
Same here. I'm "the clich guy" in my gym. How? I basically try to re-enact what I've seen here.
Growing up in Southeast Asia, I started learning Muay Thai before Sylvie was born but I am still learning from her video. Great work and thank you for your video. Awesome stuff.
Amazing explanation. I couldn´t praise enough the work you´re doing for people outside of Thai culture. You´re opening the Muay Thai Tailand style for everyone who loves the sport but isn´t able to communicate with Thai fighters. Thank you!!!!
This has to be the BEST CLINCH video i have ever had the honor of watching!!! :)
the video game analogy with heads thrown was beautiful! Haha it makes total sense
Good afternoon everyone.
Silvi I am one of your patrons, I congratulate you the seminar spectacularly, I encourage you to upload more material like this seminar, it is essential for the entire Muay Thai community to share knowledge, for many of us it helps us to shape our classes in the gym
Thanks from Spain
22 minutes in an a am hooked. Great insight. Sylvie
About a hundred years ago I started watching Sylvia training with her teacher in a basement in ... New Jersey I think it was. I cannot get how what this woman has done. She's amazing.
Unbelievable that this is free. I feel blessed. Cheers Kru Sylvie.
btw shout out to your camera man - true hero even having the arm strength to help fighters!!!

I wonder if Kru Sylvie knows what a dope Judo/ Jiu Jitsu class she just taught😂
My husband wrote about the connection here: 8limbsus.com/muay-thai-thailand/what-high-level-bjj-can-teach-todays-muay-thai
Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu - Muay Thai 🤯🙏
My judo/jiu jitsu sensei a red belt (in his created style ) neko ryu, told me martial arts has existed for thousand years and not much changes. The base fundamentals are relatively the same in most every art i have tried efficient body mechanics. Techniques overlap in most styles of expression. Wrestling stance = to true boxer stance, wrestling shares MANY techniques with the gentle arts. Still principals in judo and traditional jj improved my MT, Balance and basic framework of human movement won't change . All martial arts share the same basic core fundamental principals. That said our expressions of those principals are virtually limitless. The great martial arts tree is wide and varied. But all branches share the same trunk & roots.
Many things sylvie has shared in her MT journey i have discovered in different arts. MT clinch especially is similar (and in many case the same ) as any other grappling i learned in wrestling, jj, & judo. I also want to add how grateful i am sylvie for her work in the preservation and documentation of Thailand's art. The world can surely benefit from the keeping of that great culture. You will touch more lives than could ever know. Its Thailand's greatest treasure one that grows the more its shared. 有り難う❗
A grateful patron
วัฒนธรรมไทยเคารพ ครูบาอาาจารย์ที่สั่งสอนมา หวังว่าลูกศิษย์ทุกคนจะเคารพครูมวยเช่นกันครับ
its really cool seeing her turn from student to teacher.
A very nice video! I love the way you explain things: it's very clear that you know exactly what it works and what not because you have experienced all of that...
I also love the relaxness of your way of showing things...
I live in Italy and I'm 57, but if I had the possibility I will come there just to see you teaching, there's always a lot to learn from people with experience 🙂
Sylvie, you're a natural with coaching. I love the calm, friendly, funny vibe you bring to the seminar.
I always return to this video to recap the fundamentals
I just started doing Muay Thai after years of doing boxing. This video has been EXTREMELY helpful, having to transition from short guy boxing to short guy Muay Thai (short guy boxing stuff can get you kicked in the head).
I so often give just mildly entertaining or informative videos a thumbs up.
Therefore I would like to give this one like a thousand.
Really amazing content that you just put out there.
Thanks a lot!
People Pramod wing chun Like it’s the only hard that uses sensitivity. This seminar was an eye-opener in that demonstrated sensitivity that is used in clenching.
Fantastic seminar! So many people online just show you how to do the round kick and that’s it
Thank you so much for putting this online! I train in Finland and we really don’t practice enough clinching which bothers me a lot. I liked the thing you said about painted nails💅🏼sometimes I forget that the strenght doesn’t come from our fingers/wrists
Not only a good fighter and student of the art, but very intelligent and humble...just an observation 🤔
This was really informative and Sylvie is a great instructor. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
pretty much almost always just kicked, punched, elbowd and kneed in training since the clinch doesnt seem to exist in german mt "what a shame!" ... and then few days ago, for the first time i just did go for it with a partner and TOTALLY fell in love
This is an amazing resource. So helpful to see you going around and correcting everybody's technique rather than just watching you demonstrate it yourself.
Really love this video. The clinch is so underrated.
Sylvie, you are AMAZING! For everything you do for the art of Muay Thai as well as for the fans and practitioners. You are going to be a legend.
i think its poetic, as a fighter with great control in the clinch, u also got an ability to control a whole room n teach a great class, mad respects 💪💯
That's beautiful, thank you
She's a natural at teaching! She definitely comes off as confident but humble. I consider myself extroverted for the most part, but I am not sure how I would do trying to teach a seminar like this for a very diverse group as this one. Sylvie did an amazing job showing and explaining everything! 👏
Exactly what i was looking for thank you! Love your Patreon! The tip with the elbow for clinching to avoid gassing out is exactly what i needed!
I should've watched this video again before this morning's training because my coach decided to work on clinching today. He said I did well fighting it and wrenching myself out. But, I am sure I would have done way better had I remembered Sylvie's clinch tips and techniques.
Sylvie, you may not be a Kru, but I would absolutely love to learn from you if I ever had the opportunity. I like the way you show explain, show, and instruct in this Clinch seminar. You are definitely in your element here. 😉👍
What's so cool about this is what looks like a simple move is actually so nuanced. It all 'looks' so easy until you see us mere mortals struggling to master the minutae of the movement. Very cool.
Woman, you are amazing. Wish I had gotten to know you 10 years ago. Now 38 and still training, nit noy;) but would have loved to come and train with you. Thanks for letting me get to know the legends as well. Trained with a few, but never saw them in action. Kap khun maak kha!
Sylvie, you are a treasure! I'm a big fan of the Thai clinch. Thanks for putting this up and all of the other content. Much love from Australia.
Love and respect from UK 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️
im so gratefull for this, i began learning 4 months ago and this is my first introduction to clinch, im also small for my bw so this is like a ring to the finger for me. Thank you so much!
Sylvie, you are inspiration. Not only your work to document technics is remarquable, but your way to teach is so clear. You although have a way to think and to fight very honest. Would have loved to join the group and learn not only from the expert, but also from the person. Only complain which is not : each time I see one of your videos, I think I have to change everything I thought I got right from my training in Thaïland. Correcting these automatisms seem harder than getting new ones. Thanks for your smile.
Yet more excellent content from your incredible journey. Thank you! Also thank you for validating a point I had thought was pretty obvious when attending one club many moons ago: if your range is shorter, the clinch is a pretty good place to seek. No joke, I was paired up with this guy who was over seven inches taller than me with very long limbs and the genius senior student was telling me to stay on the outside (!) Love the limb control and the candid way you explain the unlikelihood of holding the double collar-tie/plum position in a match. Easily some of the best Muay Thai teaching on here.
Watching this is fantastic, you can see why americans who are big into wrestling end up being great clinchers in mma as there a lot of similar concepts, they thais are spot on with to get good at clinching you need to clinch spar/wrestle, all the drilling in the world wont work until you learn how to apply pressure against resisting opponents and escape under resistance too. Love watching that face push/smush escape and relaising its the same as a grappling wizzer etc. This is hands down the best tutorial on the basics of clinching for free online. (for reference Im a bjj blue belt/submission grappler for like 8 years but ive moved to k1/thai due to back problems so Im very happy to see I can apply some of the things I learnt before to a new sport :) )
I can’t help but smile the whole time while watching this! So awesome 🤩!!!!
This is tremendous. You literally blessed us, if that’s your type of thing. Thank you! 🤟🏼
This video was very informative, especially for me who can't afford to go to a gym yet. Now I won't be as lost when I go to one.
Much respect to the cameraman and the sound engineer excellent coverage on the video much better than others seminars I watched Willy audio sounds like speakerphone and the action is not really clear
Best instructional video I've ever seen. Can't wait to start implementing. Thanks Kruu Sylvie
So much knowledge in this
Love the altered beast analogy 😅 this is valuable clinching knowledge, thank you 🙏🏻
Fantastic, thank you 💯
This is really free lol that's crazy. 5'5 guy here. Usually one of the smallest in the class. I'm gonna utilize these tactics. Thank you
This was great, thank you! 🎉
I've learnt more here about clinching than what my intermediate class has shown. Love the detail and steps through and the analogies to understand why we do things.
Great session!
Girl, keep doing what you do!!!!!!!! You have given so much to everyone!!!!!!!
Thank you, great stuff!
Thanks a lot for this free sharing!
THANK YOU Sylvie, this is fantastic!

Sylvie, you ARE a legend!
She certainly is a good teacher.
You are kicking ass! Thank you for doing what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Instructor! Namaste!!!
Thanks great video 💪💪💪
A long time ago I didn’t even know what kru meant but we always called our coach kru until I realize it meant teacher/master. My teacher malaipet sasiprapa has always been so open and loving towards so many other muay thai fighters and teachers that it truly shows people like him and you show this sport to not just be brutal but also convey true kindness. Great video keep it up!
I'm big fan of you , thank you for great videos!
Thankyou, you're a great teacher😊
Awesome seminar, thank you so much for this!!!
