  • @MrElectroxx wow i guess the same goes for you then.. since you said so yourself..

  • @JasonPua9 then ur are fucked and u have to die

  • what if the bear hug is below the arms?

  • excellent!~

  • @TheGreatEscapes

    That is why you practice over and over again, until the brain learnsa new natural reaction. Then during an altercation, your body "knows" what to do and just does it.. Afterwards you have to play back in your mind what happened becasue it all happened so fast and without any conscious thought..

  • @TheGreatEscapes Welcome to Aikido.

  • I would like to reply to an earlier comment. .........Yes this bear hug technique does work on bears. In fact that's were aikido came from is when people engaged in unarmed combat against bears.

    Also look up praying mantis, crane, and shark bite techniques.
