Bear Hug Escapes By: First Action A Bear hug is where someone closes in on you and grabs you around the waist, either with your arms or without. If you see it coming you can bridge it off at his hips. If you can’t do this, at the very least, try to not get your arms pinned. To bridge, put your elbows on your hip with your hands facing forward to push him away at his hips. This stops him from getting in too close. From the front, arms free - Attack him any way you can eg scratch him in the eyes, then take a step back - Pull his head back by his hair or by forcing your forearm under the bridge of his nose - Grab under his jaw and above his head and twist his head until he loosens the grip From the front, arms Pinned - Grab his groin and twist, this is much more painful than hitting his groin - Continue to strike him however you can while trying to free your arms eg stick your chin in his eye, Head butt, Straight knee, bite etc - Bridge when you can to create more of a gap - To wriggle out of an attackers grip, slip down through his arms - Don’t bend forward - Don’t force his arms up but raise your arms as his grip slackens - Once your arms are free, escape in the same way as you would if your arms were free From Behind, arms free - Use rear attacks eg rear head but, hooking back elbow - Use a Finger split - Turn on the balls of the feet to face him and attack From behind with your arms pinned - As soon as he grabs you, link your hands together, but not your fingers. This will bend your arms to a horizontal position so he can’t come further down on your arms - Attack to your rear with a Straight Back Elbow - While he's dazed, take a deep breath to expand your diaphragm so he widens his grip - Simultaneously let out the air to make yourself smaller, widen and lower your base by squatting, drive your but into his hips as you drop and splay out your arms - Do this with speed and force to break his grip - Move forward out of his reach then quickly turn and attack, or run forward to get away  Related YouTubes - Bear Hug Escapes About the Author: Related Articles Steel Hunting Blades and Other Options Available to Hunters and Fishermen Bruce Lee Workout Routine Discover Bruce Lee s Genuine Exercise Workout Learning To Play Golf Fly Fishing On The Green Rive Bass Fishing in Ontario Fernando Verdasco Vs Simone Bolelli Live Streaming Watch Fernando Verdasco Vs Simone Bolelli Live S Be Prepared For Fishing With An Organized Fishing Tackle Boxes Benefits of Dog Pepper Spray Scuba diving in Maui The Reason Why Deciding On The Best Sort Of Golf Practice Equipment Is Important Ways to perk up that rusty Golf Swing I Used Martial Arts To Cut Open His Chest...and Found The Real Me The Bike Pedals Can Make A Big Difference On How You Ride The Bike Do You Need To Stretch For Mma A Few Simple Bass Fishing Techniques Everlast Punching Bag A Name You Can Trust
