Knees and Takedown from Thai Clinch, Ryan Schultz
2008-05-19 20:45:00 IFL Fighter Ryan Schultz, best known for beating down fighting prodigy Chris Horodecki, demonstrates a thai clinch fighting technique that ends with you kneeing your opponent in the face, then taking him down.http://www.youtube.com/v/0-XqDYLi7mRkMy usual rundown of the technique:After you grab your opponent in the Thai clinch and with the crown of his head in your grasp, you pull him in and toward one side.When he resists, you switch off on him, switching from clinch to pushing is head and body off to the side, off balancing him and giving you enough time to land a solid knee to the head.Also, with that, you have a simple double leg wide open for you on the other side of the body.When it comes to striking techniques, my personal view has always been KISS (Keep it simple, stupid), and this series of moves is wonderfully put together.

2008-05-11 15:51:00 NYT's pub "Pinch" Sulzberger dumping his wife of 33 years. NYP Page Six Who's he pinching these days? NYDNPinch gave Mrs. Pinch the $3.2 mil NYC pad a couple of months ago. "In February when asked if Mr. Sulzberger and his wife are separating, said this was done for estate-planning purposes and wouldn't comment further." NYO Cryptome has aerial photos of Pinch's pricey pad as well as editor Bill Keller's abode. "During Thanksgiving break from college, on a trip to Topeka to visit his mother and her third husband, he met his future wife, Gail Gregg, literally the girl next door. The two married in 1975 and shortly thereafter moved to London, where they worked for competing wire services. She often beat him on stories." TIME Mag 2001

Flame-Outs Fail As Usual, Wild Clinch Division
2008-04-04 15:50:00 photo courtesy of A.J. Olmscheid/AP Consistent with Calgary tradition, the Flames are slouching their way into the playoffs again. In a game that could have ultimately meant a shot at the Northwest Division title, the Flame-Outs choked hard and lost to the Wild, giving Minnesota its very first regular season banner. The highlight of the night was Brent Burns' beating of Dion Phadouche, who deserved every punch he took. Phaneuf looked to have the fight won early on, but Burns got his arm free and landed a great series of right hands before tossing the baby to the ice. Now, as long as Calgary loses their final game of the season, the Avs will secure second place in the division---which isn't that bad considering how mediocre most of their season was. Vancouver crapped the proverbial bed again, losing 2-1 to the Oilers, who were without key players including Ales Hemsky. Great work, 'Nucks. Enjoy the golf course. Strangely, though, ESPN didn...

Nightly Ramble: The Prodigal Clinch, Look up in the sky; It’s Super D
2008-03-28 20:51:00 John Venlet showed up to play, yesterday. Nice to see you, John. Missed ya. He says he’s going to be posting quite a bit in the next several weeks, apparently focusing on the mortgage industry. Me at Q&O today, about the delegate fight: The system involving Super-Delegates was contrived so as to prevent what the leadership sees as undesirable candidates from being nominated. In the original case, it was Jesse Jackson, who was seen as way too liberal. These days, it’s the wife of our first black President, who is seen as way too conservative.To my thought, that’s the best indicator of how the baseline politics of the Democrats have shifted to the extreme left… and how much MoveOn dictates what happens with the Democrats, anymore. What I find most amusing of all is that they’ve no clue the destructive course they’ve set for themselves. Amusing and amazing, really. We caught around 4 inches of snow, last night. Depending on how they came out, I’ll show yo...

Effectively Closing the Distance to Clinch (Randy Couture)
2008-03-21 09:08:00 As per reader request of Chih Lin-He asked "How do you effectively close the distance on someone with a reach advantage?"Two years ago, this was exactly the problem I tried to solve by myself, and with that, started my path to learning about the clinch, and ultimately, the ground game. Now, I'm not short by any standards (5'11'') but it just so happens that fighting, especially MMA and Muay Thai, attracts a lot of, forgive my language, tall motherf@#$ers.The video that taught me how to close the distance the most effectively was this video by Randy Couture (important bits starts around 1:50):He calls it an Elbow Destruction, but it's one of the many techniques used in the school of thought I follow when it comes to closing the distance... I call it "Crash and Grab"At its very core, it works in two ways:DefensivelyBait opponent into attackingShell up, cover chin and foward side of head as he shows (For just Muay Thai, I'd use the Crazy Monkey Defense)Simultaneously slip punch a...

Vonn & Miller Clinch Over World Cup Globes!
2008-03-17 01:16:00 It was March 1983, 25 years ago when Sports Illustrated published a magazine with Phil Mahre and Tamera McKinney on the cover together. Who, you ask? Phil and Tamera had just become the first US skiers to win the overall Alpine World Cup skiing titles in the same year. Given the yearly dominance of the Europeans, it was the first and the last time this had happened until today. It should also be noted that a male and a female form the same country winning in the same year almost never happens, regardless of what countries they represent. Regardless, with strong finished in the giant slalom and slalom respectively, Bode Miller and Lindsay Vonn both clinched the overall titles today. While there will be much more on this later, especially as Miller, who skis for the US, doesn?t ski for the US Ski Team; however, another American clichéd a title today as 2006 Combined Olympic Gold Medalist, Ted Ligety, won the final giant slalom, which was not only his second win in a month, but earned ...

Celtics Clinch NBA Playoff Spot
2008-03-06 06:07:00 It's been quite the reversal of fortunes for the Boston Celtics in the 2007-08 season. After being in the Eastern Conference basement last year, the Celtics added serious star power with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Combined with longtime Celtic all-star Paul Pierce the trio with their supporting cast has already clinched a playoff spot this year, making them the 1st NBA team to do so.From The Sports Network:Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Kevin Garnett scored 31 points and grabbed six rebounds as the Boston Celtics became the first team in the NBA to clinch a playoff berth with an impressive 90-78 win over Detroit in a matchup of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. The win also gave the Celtics the season series over Detroit, 2-1, and thus home-court advantage in the playoffs if the teams finish the season tied.Some analysts still say Detroit is the team to beat for the East, and tonight the Celtics beat them, again. The talk wouldn't be complete with Cleveland and Orla...

Can the Clintons Clinch it? Who cares
2008-02-21 11:26:00 by William Bowles Observations from the Frontline “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country … corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” — U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins) Ref: The Lincoln Encyclopedia, Archer H. Shaw (Macmillan, 1950, NY) It’s pretty obvious, at least to me anyway, that the ‘democratic process’ has run its course, at least as it’s presently constituted in the so-called developed countries. Not that I’m advocating a dictatorship, in any case we already have a de facto dictatorship by default by virtue of the total non participation by the ‘people’ in the political process.

Australia come crashing down at Perth as India clinch glory
2008-01-19 13:07:00 Very few teams come to the Western Australian capital and inflict heavy defeat on the Australians. The West Indies did that, 16 years ago, when Curtly Ambrose' inspired spell of 7 wickets for 1 run destroyed the Aussies. But, that was a different era. India, came into this match with a big point to prove. Bruised and battered in the previous two Test matches in the series, they left the baggage of controversy behind and moved on to Freemantle territory to put up a spirited performance in the Third Test and clinch a historic victory by 72 runs.The Indians had a single digit number in the minds as they took the field in the morning - 8 i.e. the number of wickets needed to claim victory. And eight, they got after some inspired captaincy decisions by Kumble, superb bowling by the quicks and luck. Their charge to victory came to a pause, when the ninth wicket partnership between Stuart Clark and Mitchell Johnson had other intentions for a while, but it only looked as though they were de...
