🥊 Striking & Clinch

Powered by the legendary Chute Boxe Academy and taught by a world-class MMA and Muay Thai fighter—this is where law enforcement learns from the best.

When to strike, and why. When is striking better than grappling?

Managing assaults with minimal force requires a strategic approach. This class integrates Muay Thai, Boxing, and MMA techniques specifically tailored for law enforcement officers. It covers essential striking techniques, combinations, and key defenses to survive against aggressive strikers. Topics include clinch work, distance management, proper fighting stance, footwork, and strategies to avoid takedowns. While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu remains crucial for police work, this training emphasizes preparing officers for situations where grappling is not ideal, such as confrontations involving multiple suspects or knife scenarios, ensuring safety and effectiveness in high-risk situations.

Statistics show that most assaults against untrained officers escalate to the ground. However, following the logic of distance management in confrontations, officers will often face the clinch before the ground. The clinch represents a critical stage in the progression of an assault—when the striking range is breached, and the officer finds themselves inside the “kill zone.”

Armed clinch fighting is one of the most neglected aspects of law enforcement training. It happened when distance management failed, leaving officers vulnerable to strikes, takedowns, stabs, and the risk of losing their duty weapon.

Recognizing the importance of this scenario, Andre Quiles has developed a curriculum that bridges the gap between striking and grappling, using a combination of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu clinch techniques initially created for the Brazilian police. Over the years, this training has been refined to address the specific needs of law enforcement professionals worldwide.
