Whether you're facing an unarmed opponent or an assailant armed with a weapon, the ability to dominate the clinch in close-quarters combat is essential. The IMAS Combat Clinch Tactics Course teaches real-world solutions for controlling violent encounters where space is limited and intensity is high.

This course blends gross-motor control, positional dominance, and targeted striking, preparing participants for scenarios that may involve weapons access, multiple attackers, or high-stress physical resistance.

 Why This Course Works

Most traditional clinch systems are based on sport applications and assume a safe environment. This course focuses on tactical clinch control in chaotic, real-world conditions—equipping you with tools that work under stress, against resistance, and with the added complexity of weapons and multiple attackers.
