Inside hand fighting and clenching
“The Art of inside hand fighting evolves fighting for inside position. The object is to tie up or pin your opponent’s hands or guard while YOU are still able to be in position to attack. Clenching can be use to stop your opponent’s attack especially if you are hurt”
Inside hand fighting and clinching are important techniques in boxing that are used to gain an advantage over your opponent. Inside hand fighting involves using your hands to control your opponent’s arms or to push them out of position so that you can land punches. The goal is to get inside your opponent’s guard and stay there, which makes it easier to land punches and avoid getting hit.
Clinching, on the other hand, involves grabbing onto your opponent’s body or arms to stop their attack or to break up the action. Clinching can be used defensively to avoid getting hit, or it can be used offensively to wear down your opponent or to set up other attacks.
While inside hand fighting and clinching are legal in boxing, excessive use of these techniques can result in penalties such as warnings or point deductions. It’s important for boxers to use these techniques strategically and within the rules of the sport.
