" On behalf of Expert Village, I am Angel Perez, with Champion Martial Arts, in Miami, Florida, and today we are going to teach you mixed martial arts techniques. For our next mixed martial arts demonstration we are going to use a little bit of muay thai, muay thai is originated in Thailand , and is one of the hardest sports or martial arts to learn, very effective, we are going to start off with the neck control, a lot of times we get into clinch, this is a muay thai clinch here the reason for this is so you control his neck, so you can bring up the knees, right up into the face, very effective, muay thai clinch, in muay thai you don't use your hands and fists, you use more of your elbows and your knees, control him, notice how he's blocking them with his hands, we are practicing, so he knows what we're doing, cause I just told him. That's exactly what you do to defend it; you keep your hands up here, so that the knees come up and don't hit you in the face."
