I don't understand why you wouldn't recommend knees? Many stand up fighters have used knee strikes to stop a clinch. Mirko Filipovic used a knee strike to Kazuyuki Fujita clinch attempt and he busted Fujita's eyebrow wide open, and won the fight.

Exactly!!! Before I have MMA or Muay Thai fight I listen to hard rock and do Thai pad drills to get my adrenalin going. Also I'm not there to make friends or shake hands, I'm there for business, to beat the $hit out of my opponent and make him bleed, that's my job in the ring. Yet has all this happens I keep my fear under control, cause fear will keep you alert, awake and aware but only if it's kept under control, if not then you better not even step in the ring cause you'll seriously get hurt. Always remember fear can be a good thing!

The one thing that really gets me mad about being a martial artist is when I tell people I train in MA and they shout "HIYA" and perform a hand chop or start singing "Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting..." or they may even attempt a kick. I end up explaining to them I train Muay Thai, then I get a whole new amount of respect from them , somtimes they even ask for lessons from me.

I'm 20 right now, but in 2 weeks I'll be 21!

I would use defensive grappling techniques like a sprawl to counter the grapplers "shoot" also utilize my Muay Thai in a stand up clinch, by using elbows, knees, head butts and low line kicks and of coarse keeping distance.

XpOiSoN FrEeX, Can you please answer my question...

Yes!!!

To the people that believe size dosen't matter, then please explain why... Boxing, Kickboxing, Judo, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and MMA all have weight classes?

ThaiBoxerKen mmm... I'm gonna check out his old posts!

What's a matter with you people, do you not train?

Ironberg has only written the truth!

Muay Thai - Aggresive, effective stand up BJJ/Sambo/Wrestling/JKD - Grappling Savate - Foot Work (best in the world)

Well... It was a smart move; she knew your weakness and went for it. As a result she won, it's a smart tactic. On the other hand it's point sparring, and from what I know of point-sparring (which is next to nothing) your not supposed to hit your opponent or use excessive force. Oh well, next time you meet up with her in competition, kick her in the face. (Or can you even do that in point sparring?)
