ELBOW-ELBOW-KNEE

ศอกและเข่า

A short-range clinch combination that transitions from striking to grappling. Two elbows drive the opponent's guard up, creating the space and reaction to wrap behind the neck and land a hard knee to the body or head. Used by fighters who want to capitalize on a hurt opponent at close range.

KEY POINTS

  • 01First elbow commits fully to force the reaction
  • 02Second elbow comes from the opposite side on the return
  • 03Snap the neck down with the arm closest to the elbow side
  • 04Drive the knee up with the hip, not just the leg
  • 05Recover by framing or pivoting out

COMMON MISTAKES

  • ✕Elbows without rotation, producing no power
  • ✕Failing to secure the neck before the knee
  • ✕Throwing the knee as an afterthought
  • ✕Losing balance on the knee

TRAINING DRILLS

  • →Clinch partner drilling at stationary distance
  • →Pad work on clinch pads
  • →Shadow combinations with close attention to spacing
