Here is a simple bear hug escape from a front grab under the arms. This is an older video from over a year ago but we decided to upload nonetheless.

  • wait so.. why is he falling, especially on the second variation?

    why doesn't he just reposition his feet?

  • ukemi: the art of falling (basically practice). Even if he repositions his feet, the goal is the break the hold and push him back. Not everyone falls because of technique. Shit happens and nothing works 100% perfect all the time.

  • I think Jodie was concerned with a man of large stature (215lbs and up) bear-hugging and squeezing tight while picking her up off her feet. Thats typically what a man would do to a woman to control her. Any suggestions?

  • you can also just fall backwards and roll yoll end up ontop of him.

  • kick to the groin.

  • lol i guess the point of the vid is to prevent you from getting picked up off your feet because majority of the time once someone picks you off the ground your done

  • wonderfull technique!!!

  • yea that would make your partner really mad

  • could you do this at a real bjj competition?

  • There's nothing stopping him from jamming the thumb in the eye as he turns the head. It's just not nice to do to your training partners :)

  • Solid solid solid technique : ) happy face for learning that one

  • This was a good video, but I was practicing with a friend one day and I lifted her off her feet and she didn't know what to do. We wanted to know what would you do if he was lifting you off your feet, aside from the obvious "poke him in the eye" stuff.
