Gracie Jiu-Jitsu – Closing the Distance (the Clinch)

Rorion Gracie founded the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) with the goal of addressing the age-old question: Which martial art was more successful in a real-world street fight? When his brother Royce overcame representatives of Karate, Kung Fu, Savate, Wrestling, Boxing, and Kick-boxing, among others, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was the solution.
It is a statistic that 95% of all actual bouts start with a clinch and end up on the ground.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the only martial art that covers ground combat adequately, which is the most crucial part of any genuine fight.
These straightforward and efficient techniques need little strength, speed, or coordination.
Closing the Distance teaches you how to enter a clinch, take a challenger to the ground, and get the mount.
This is taken from a self-defense standpoint.
The demonstrated technique is to duck beneath a punch and slip into a body grip.
The takedown is then accomplished with a hip throw or leg sweep.
As your opponent falls, you walk over them to finish up in the mount.
