Learn The Muay Thai Clinch From Walter “Sleeper” Michalowski

While training in Muay Thai years ago, my trainers emphasized the importance of knowing how to clinch and how it can help control your opponent.

If applied correctly and decisively, it will be to your advantage. For real!

And there is one guy who can credibly demonstrate this technique, because it has worked for him countless times while fighting and beating some of the best in the business. Even in the birthplace of Muay Thai, which of course is Thailand.

His name is Walter ”Sleeper” Michalowksi.

Walter is the owner and head instructor (kru) of Sityodtong USA in Pasadena, California.

And this is what I found on their site:

“At his last pro fight he was the featured main event at the newly built Pattaya Stadium in Thailand. He fought against Phothong Sor.

Preapan, a formidable opponent that was fifteen years his junior with twice as many recorded fights. The bout was broadcast on Thai national television and Walter won by an impressive first round knockout victory.

Walter’s record is 32–5-0 and include two United World Muay Thai Middleweight titles, three UWMTA Junior Middleweight titles and an International Muay Thai Council Middleweight North American Championship title.

When asked if he’ll ever fight again, Walter’s response is neither a firm yes nor a definite no, because as a gym owner his focus and passion is training students and developing fighters.

Walter attributes his success in the ring to having logged many miles with top-notch trainers and coaches. He was a staff instructor in the Jeet Kune Do Concepts under Richard Bustillo and his conditioning trainer for several of his championship titles was with notable strength and conditioning coach, Matt Ribaudo from All Star Fitness.

In addition to Muay Thai, Walter is also a skilled boxer and since early 2000 he has trained with Freddie Roach and Justin Fortune at Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood. ”

Train this one and it will serve you well.
