How do you feel when you see something that is unexpected and you are not prepared for that? And if you face the same thing but you are prepared for that. Now how do you feel?
When you are prepared for something, you expect something to happen. You are not surprised, so you can deal with that in a better way. When someone grabs you from behind aka, bear hug, you do not expect that. The attacker knows he is going to attack, you have no idea about it.
What you do to defend against the bear hug if the attacker cannot predict that and he is not prepared for that, that technique works better. Let's watch this short video. Since your hands are free, you can put one hand under the attacker's arm and grab his wrist. Then push that to break the grip.
The attacker does not know which direction you are going to force your power, otherwise, he would not let you do that or make it hard for you to do that. After release, you can go for the counter-attack.
To release a bear hug, you can also get down, grab the attacker's one leg between your legs and pull, the attacker will go down.
You can also put one leg behind the attacker's leg and grab his legs to lift up, he will be on air. Now you throw him and give him a chance to fly. ;)
If you do not let the attacker guess what you are about to do to defend against his attack, he might get shocked to see your action. And that can help you to defend yourself.
So what do you think? Please feel free to leave your comments in the comment section. Thank you for reading this post. Stay safe. Always be happy!
