@Strawberrysunset23 Thank you for your question. First please watch - Jujutsu 101 A Little Philosophy #1. Then do a search on YouTube with - Jujutsu 101 Bear hug" and you will see I believe a few that may be of interest to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to post. Take good care. Fred

Elbow the crap out of his face. That's how I would get out. thanks for sharing this solution. I will definately try it. Only remark I have about this is how would you get your arm under through his arm when your facing a very strong attacker who is really squeezing hard?

bertjuhnl: Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Like I said, the video is not a solution to every situation. Also, as you know: timing, power, balance disrupting all are important as well. I agree with you that you may not be able to get your arm through. But with practice one can get better; might be a useful tool. If the hold is on VERY tight already before you can do anything; well that is another drill. And should be practiced as well. Again, thanks. Train safe, Fred

Thank you for sharing this excellent maneuver. This will fit in nicely with my karate training (horse stance and middle block).

ColoneMarksman...I agree with you as this "escape" takes too long to execute and leaves your face and chest vulnerable to attack from the bear hugger's friend/s. Stomping on the foot is a very effective method (as you stated).

Bruce Lee was a proponent pof viscious instep stomps. His words, " Don't try some fancy movement..just STOMP him on the instep, he'll let go".

Cheers

There is a 1-move-works all in bear hugs. Regardless of your size; hike your leg up behind you. The ideal to a bear-hug is to grab and hold you up. When he lifts, your heel goes straight to the groin. If not, repeatedly bash your heel into his leg if you're wearing shoes, or if you're a girl with high-heels, into his foot. If he's grabbing you so someone can hit you; use his size and muscle to hold you up while you kick your opponent away, keeping them from your torso vitals.
