  • HOLY COW S*** U HAVE A LOT OF VIDEOS LOL

  • if you want to break a bearhug, you need to create some space first. otherwise there is no way you'll be able to get an elbow in

  • i wonder if she is enjoying being with a handsome karate instructor. he is hot

  • I thought when bear hugging your bodies are touching themselves. Like, Brce Lee might get punch that will throw you 1,5 meters away, but sorry elbow below ribs isnt going to do the job from less than 2 CM.

  • The best style is a collaboration of all the styles. Their is no one single style that can dominate them all even if you are mixed. THE BEST STYLE IS NO STYLE ! Punch when you have to punch, kick when you have to kick and grapple when you have to grapple simple as that.

  • ok i am well rounded im working on my black belt in chinese kenpo and am going to start taking krav magav somethime and yes jiu jitsu is the BEST! if your well rounded

  • Who cares if your a black belt, If knocked out fifth degree black belts, nobody cares what your rank is in the street. By the way I am a black belt as well and Jiu-jitsu isn't all that its cracked up to be. You need to be well rounded which is the point here!

  • how the hell can she elbow when her arms are restained? this is rediculous. plus these strikes would not stop an attacker or even hurt a much larger determined one. there are much better ways to couter rear bear hugs...

  • That only works if the person in control is 5', 100 lbs and can't carry a sack of dog food for 20 ft. Thanks for wasting 1 min of my life.

  • Bear hugs rock! Why would you wanna get out of one? :P
