Krav Maga defense for bear hug from behind arms free

[Sammagot]

Poor guy got his finger almost crushed ...

[aislaith]

What if he grabs you over/under and breaks your posture so that you are arched back?

[jpaul569]

I bet when his girlfriend comes behind him to give him a hug he does some crazy move that ends up breaking her neck.

[andhikaheru]

I hate Isrelian army causing by their "killing Palestine's" habbit, but after practicing Krav Maga, surely, I have to admit, that this is one of the most effective and applicable martial arts, it's absorping many karate, kung fu and pencak silat techniques, yet still it was a good invention in Martial Arts. Martial Arts doesn;t recognized racism, in fact it's a wepon to fight against them

[spoonman73]

Allright guys!...kick kick punch....any questions?

[jaymepereiranunes]

any question ?

...

where you get your coke from ?

[seeinstripes]

You can throw one arm over your attacker's head and spin in his grip, then you are facing him and he has no hands and you have 2...box ears, gouge eyes, a little larry moe and curly and you win.

[sandboxkilla446]

could you just simply lower your body as shown, then drive your leg backwards hard and make his head hit the pavement, or would that just make you vulnerable to a rear naked choke

[FlyingCustodian22]

bear grills

[MshadowsenseoC]

why do you have to come from the elbow to grab his finger? Could you plz tell me Im curious to know.

[popis3493]

reminds me my krav teacher with the "if it doesn t work...."thing

[ardschuna88]

Martial Arts tend to be way too complicated^^ lower your weight to hinder lift, well so far. But then...just head butt in his face;) keep it simple in stress situation...Bouncer, Krav Maga, Hapkido, Jeet Kune Do...but I always prefer simple techniques:D

[SandToof]

the bjj defence for this is way better, and it will work against a guy twice your size easy

[BigBoss1982]

@SandToof do you sugest that If even bigger opponent than you will get a few strong hits by elbow in face he will not ''lossen'' :)

[spidergaurdmaster]

One variation we learned in jiu jitsu is to step to the side and behind your opponent, lift him up and drop him over your side. You can find this variation through a video search and I can vouch for its effectiveness. Just makes sure you only do it if your arms are pinned, or else you will hit in the nuts or he won't let go as planned.

[SandToof]

@spidergaurdmaster the Jitsu one with your arms free is to drop your base post your hands down on the grown and walk them in till you grab one of his legs by the ankle and then sit down into a knee bar. I think the jitsu way better in this area

[WHEREtheFUNK]

once we have the finger and rotate out we simulate a punch and brake the finger...then deliver combatives as appropriate

[OsmarBoszo]

You are a good video teacher. Nice job with the lessons and pls kees posting them. Thanks from Brazil!

[gamergaz]

WARNING!

If you can't do this, the other guy is gonna get real pissed and kick the shit out of you.

[Cl00lessGrl]

ooo i learned this in jiujitsu :D

[GilaMusic1]

it all looks easy but i dont see people doing this kinda shit in real life

[MiasmaSxE]

@GilaMusic1

Go to a russian mall for a day and watch the guards there for a while. When trouble breaks out... they start whooping ass with these kinds of techniques.

[tusancho13]

@GilaMusic1 Maybe because don't know what to do, or they panic in the process.

[AV8R4HM]

@GilaMusic1 That's cuz people aren't trained.

[lovinitish]

look at the guys face at 0:33

[sonnych69]

genearally when some on does a bear hug look for the slam

[sinner8269]

why not just break it?

[JIZZZification]

nice tap... that was so smart

[lsloewen2]

Doubt this will work on a big, strong, mean thug

[MountedDragoon]

Wow, he bent that guy's finger far. See the pain on his face?

[TheWezz69]

nice

[IamVeryFrozen]

0:58 I don't have any questions.

[4c00h]

Good luck doing that with an S-grip

[gregmonts]

@4c00h Well the thumbs is still available. so to speak.

[GitarrPwnz]

@4c00h I've never tried it against an S-grip but I get the feeling that elbowing someone in the hand would loosen the grip.

[XxPhantomboy777xX]

*husband suddenly hugs wife from behind*

*wife pulls this move*

*husband leaves limping*

[davidkics]

@XxPhantomboy777xX You wanted to get thumbs up on that comment?

[SSgt24thMEU]

The bear hug escape in the Marines involves nearly ripping the guy's leg off.

[dobberdoss]

hahahahaha, totally wank

[xzombielvisx]

krav maga fails against uncircumcised guys, we feel no pain at your girly ball kicks

[HeroKLVideo]

@xzombielvisx LOLOL

[mrmandudething00]

i think the guys finger hurts. his face and tapping shows it.

[blakTiGGeRXXX]

id jus do a standing switch , not sayin that that more effective or dissin on this guy but its jus my wrestling background , but hey whatever works

[leightonransome]

Why is everything in krav maga ending up in groin kicks? What if its a woman?

[reafdaw01]

@leightonransome hurts for women aswell.

[IdontDOperfect]

@leightonransome it hurts. Trust me. There are no major muscles to build there so it hurts :P

[crossbike]

excellent demo.

[Anonymer990]

oh thanks.. finally.. this happens to me everyday!

[ProtPally666]

u got strong arms and chest but if some one kicks u on the knee u fucked

[unicornakshatpjain]

Why does he ask in the end.. any questions??

[BelisariusDL]

If someone grabs you from behind in this manner, they are more than likely looking to pick you up and slam you. Throwing elbows will throw you off balance and easier to slam. First reaction is to base, then go for a rolling kneebar.

[TexasTeaDrums]

You can also grab his leg from under your legs and pull up(after dropping your weight) Basically tripping him.

[CrossFireClanWars]

just break the finger!

[TheClearKidMMA]

I appreciate this martial art but this teacher is just.... idk lol

[oOCryingWolfOo]

so krav maga is just a fancy way of saying swift kick to the nuts?

[mupptastic]

@oOCryingWolfOo Yes....but if thought well and applied well, very effective :)

[surfkrav]

@oOCryingWolfOo any move to the nuts is just to short circuit the attacker so you can become the aggressor. Never count on just a kick to the nuts. there's a story about 3 Israeli commandos taking someone out. First commando kicked the guy in the nuts. However it took 2 more to take him out.  The final one did by gouging eyes. Turned out the bad guy fought with a ruptured scrotum from first attack.

[calebkw]

1:06 to your question is USH USH USH USH USH USH USH!!!!

[aldrickbarber35]

I do this to my friend alot, and I've showed her some moves (choke defense mostly, mount) but I'm not going to show her this one...

[L2DLUC]

Dam he was just tryin to give him a hug this dude forced it..

[oldsgtmajusmc]

good technique-i would add that when using elbow you hit one side then the other and back to same side as opponent is tryng to move head away and will move right into third elbow thrown-taught t me by a prison guard from Penn. oldsgtmajusmc

[Avenged7xsean702]

Lmaoo at :28 the dude taps out

[SabreSecurityVideos]

Very simple and highly effective , the essence of KM.

[MrSpeedhead89]

I remember in a Capoeira seminar the mestre was teaching us basic self defense. He taught us a bear hug from behind with the arms free. We would drop our weight, elbow on both sides, crouch down to grab the attacker's leg and yank it out from underneath sending the attacker to the ground. Similar to this but without grabbing the leg.

[iacthulu]

if you were coming from behind someone, why would you grab them around the waist? It seems like every self defense technique has a defense against it, but if you were to attack someone, especially getting a free shot like coming from behind, why would you grab someone around the waist?

So, if you're reading this while standing behind a potential victim, don't grab them around the waist, just punch them in the back of the head.

[DangerCoughlin101]

@iacthulu Someone may be trying to abduct you and bear hug from behind is quite typical in bar fights.

[EVOASSHOLE]

Yep. After the spin u can yank his finger off and kill him for trying to be a bear!

[77theVeil]

Hhhmm, in krav and I was taught differently, elbows sure, but the whole finger grab seems real flimsy

[Clo1n]

@77theVeil have it done to you! you will want to let go, I guarantee it.

[Bookman230]

How about you be honest. This is Krav taken from Hapkido. Yes people check the history, Krav is the gross motor skills of Hapkido.

[subbieboyz03]

Disclaimer: this might not work against real bear!

[elcondepatula]

@subbieboyz03 That's debatable, there are basically two schools of thought

bears, beets, battlestar galactica

[seusgordo]

"Any questions?"

lol my Krav maga teacher says exactly this way when he explain some move xD (also make the same face haha)

[cbueno777]

your buddy is tapping the whole time, poor guy... breaking his dam finger.

[svenno0007]

i would crush his nuts with my heel or sweep his leg

[alejarren]

@svenno0007 Problem.. You can't get your heel up there if he's that close. You'd just lose your balance. And sweeping his leg whilst in a bear hug? You'd go straight down with him with your back facing him. Hence a choke.

[HugeDeek]

@svenno0007 raise your leg up too much and if he pushes forward you will plant your face on the floor, so you need a good stance by going down low.

[ICKFEARLESS]

at 0:15 i stroke my balls when this happend to me at school O_0

[originalnab]

@KravCam In All respect, this type of bear hug seems impractical. I would think that if someone where to use a bear hug that they would also hug the arms. how would you suggest getting out of that?

[YMBrant]

Rolling Knee Bar is exactly how I deal with this. Works every time.

[JointOperations90]

@YMBrant ,

Agreed, rolling knee bar works great.

[backthatthangup]

@YMBrant

but then you dont get to break a finger :D

well not right then...guess you could break a toe during the knee bar

[Bobzd4f]

@YMBrant Rolling knee bar is great if it is a 1v1 situation. But if you on the streets and the attacker has 1 or 2 friends with him, you probably wouldn't want to take it to ground where they can stomp you in the head.

[spsmonktoo]

@Bobzd4f Exactly right! The ground is the last place you want to be if there are more than one aggressors, as is often the case on the street. You know your stuff!

[ethernine]

@YMBrant then my friends will leave there nike signs on your face! think dude the street is not mma.

and by the way there is simple steps to get out of this move and cause all kinds of damage to a person.

[chiney3woy]

@YMBrant yeah but what if its multiple attackers??? for some one to bear hug you most likely it was a surprise attack move!!! Then your just gonna get stomped out when your on the ground... all it takes is that one kick to the face or back to put you out... Yeah don't get me wrong the rolling knee looks good on a one on one but not practical if you're deal with multiple attackers... your train yourself to do that as a 1st move,not good....ground should always be last resort...

[Ben1987X]

@YMBrant Flying up in the sky like neo in the matrix works for me every time

[Donatellangelo]

@YMBrant Yeah....that would do it too.

[davids11131113]

@YMBrant Yep, hell make sure he keeps his grip, take a step to the side grab a heel and kneebar the shit out of him with all your force. He wont be doing any hugging after that, except on a Hover'round.

[Joseph4Lakers]

@YMBrant Yeah but what if he has a friend with him that stomps on your face when your trying to break his buddys leg. Never go to the ground when there is people with him.

[surfkrav]

@YMBrant What do you do when his friends jump in?

[AmirAdzim]

@YMBrant what if the man is like 6 foot tall weighing at around 300 lbs?

[GitarrPwnz]

@YMBrant LOL not against 5 guys.

[Sinan97082]

@YMBrant MAN THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I WAS THINKING. IT WORKS!!! because FIRST , if someone has really strong hands and fingers and leans his head to your deltoids.. elbows are wasted time... so grap hes knee roll out... he will get instabilized... u even don´t have to hold the leg, it is a quick way getting out of this situation... NO I AM NOT AN MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT, but i am taking all the effective things FOR THE STREET... because in turkey... normally there are 2-3 at least attacking u

[Sinan97082]

@YMBrant U ARE AWESOM, hehe. in my opinion it is a quick -effective- solution.... and it WORKS.. NO I am not a martial arts expert. I am even not a bad-ass guy, not big or the toughest... BUT i can say that i have survived several fights. Why survived? because in turkey there are almost no fight with 1:1 ... at least 2-3 guys are attacking u normally!! So either u run or u have to fight SOMEHOW!! BUT if you know SOME techniques... NOT MUCH... just effctive, know how to punch and move.--> U DO IT

[G0th4ki]

ya, what happen if he have a helmet and iron boots.

[ANATOMISTER]

PLEASE!!!! when are you going to upload more videos???? I would be great to hear an interview from Jarret Waldman about Krav Maga

[oldsgtmajusmc]

good elbows but one recomdation (from a police officer in Ph Pa) hit with left elbow hit with right and again with right -(it confuses the opponent) so u are hitting face with one and other side with two elbows..great for teaching women-easy for them to learn.

oldsgtmajJUSMC

[qualifiedtowotk]

Ok! Now, how about grab from behind arms "not free" and the attacker also attempts to lift and dump you on your back?

[qualifiedtowotk]

Ok! Now, how about bear hug from behind arms "not free"? You know the attacker clamps your arms down to your body attempts to pick you up and dump you on your back.

[oldsgtmajusmc]

good tactic -try to use one elbow to right then 2 elbows in sucession to left-it confuses opponent who thinks u r just going back and forth- oldsgtmajusmc

[oldsgtmajusmc]

goood tactic-try to do one elbow to one side then elbow to other side twice -it confuses the opponent who thinks you are just elbowing back and forth- this comes from a prison guard who worked in Pn prison sustem.-also add stomp to his ankle

oldsgtmajusmc KM instructor

[Laykey]

lolz almost no comments for tis golden vid

[hermelicious]

I'd rather stick to jiu jitsu bear hug escape if the guy dodges de elbows by moving his head beack or tucking it behind your back you're skrewed, and to get one of his finger when the guy has a good grip , imposible!

[ratbull12]

That's what a petty thug gets when they attack from behind!

[Ramshobraja]

I need to learn krav.

[bradleybravo]

I really would like to take Krav Maga its unlike any other martial arts in the world

[egglot12]

Yes! I have a question, how do youuuu...aww f***, you can't hear me...

[egglot12]

Yes! I have a question, how do youuuu....aww, f***, you can't hear me...

[goldtogreysmoke]

i dig for a finger

[boringgrass]

nice finger tips

[tonydamned]

good tip

[AliCarmona]

No offense , but shouldn't Krav Maga Instructors wear sneakers all the time????

[realmasterchief]

I need to get back into Krav Maga. I haven't been in it in about 5 months, but seeing this wants me to get back in and start learning again. I'm an advanced level student, too, so I have a ton of stuff I still need to learn.

[WolfLeader117]

Very nice.

[diamondd11]

ouch violent!
