Muay Thai plum

Hey guys, I was wondering what the best exercises would be to apply and hold onto a successful Muay Thai clinch. It would probably involve something to keep your elbows pinched together, as well as the power to throw your opponent back and forth like a rag doll, and be able to still stand up and dish out punishment if he just tries to drop out of it; not to mention bring up really powerful knees from there.

Also if they are taller than you if the exercises should be in any way modified.

Thanks.

its my understanding that its core strength that makes you strong in the clinch. whether it be greco roman clinching or muay thai. try some zercher squats or overhead squating. i could be wrong tho...
