Normally I hate it when people who know nothing about these techniques diss them. However, this particular one is so stupid it's downright DANGEROUS. Taking a fight unneccessarily to the ground breaks rule number one of self defence, and it puts you in a severely compromised position at that - I'd much rather be in a standing bearhug than a ground rear naked choke. There is NO situation in which this technique is useful or even safe to attempt. This video says nothing good about Krav Maga.

this is not Krav Maga, or any Israeli system I've come aross

this is the stupidest bear hug defense ive ever seen in my life... all is correct untill he tries to step behind the leg, my techniques i know would just be a hammer to the groin and then a rising elbow to the chin why would you take the fight to the ground and give them your back to pound the back of your head to a pulp

@ngaiflex Definitely. There's no doubt in my mind that most of these techniques these guys are showing are very effective, considering that the style is military employed. They wouldn't use it if it wasn't. But its so easy for people to just watch these videos and deem them ineffective because the slow motion allows you to time to think about possible counteracts, almost as if you were fighting slow motion and had all the time to think, what would you do.

dude if you do that wrong, (which most probably would) then all their weight will crush your leg...

@ngaiflex

agreed.

@pianoSpleen

i used a similar technique to this, where it is a rear naked choke.

You do what he did by stepping behind, strike the groin twice, then the fall like he does.

It worked for me.

It is dangerous if its more than one person.

the basics.. in those vidoes.. i learn in goshin-jutsu.Mu Te Jinen Ryu 90% Ninjutsu and 10% Judo, Kempo och Aiki Jutsu.

Wait, so from bear hug , slipping straight down giving access to the neck/throat area? You sure you want to do that? :P This isn't Krav Maga, just so that clear.

@pianoSpleen Another problem with this is that a person normally would not bear hug and just stand there waiting for your move. People usually would be moving around, lifting and probably trying to throw you to the ground to hurt or intimidate. His attack is unrealistic and the defense also. However for me i prefer the ground because i am trained in ground fighting but I understand your point, ground is not the best place many people.

@pianoSpleen uummmm all street fighting and self defense depends on the FACT that thers a 1-5% chance that a random street thug will know how to execute a rear naked choke well, especially under pressure .... much less if the above demo is executed at a fast (less than 2 sec) pace ..... trust me,when u take a headbutt to your nose,then a stomp to your foot, AND a strike to the groin, AND a sweep, the LAST thing ul be thinking is 'hmmmmmm .... hey, i think il apply a rear naked choke on him'
