Rear Over Arm Bear Hug in Women's Self-Defense

Video Transcript

"On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Ron Gotlin I’m the lead instructor at the Biscayne Park Aikido Club in Biscayne Park, Florida, today we’re going to do a demonstration for self defense for women. Okay this technique more common than some of the others is when the bad guy goes to grab the female but from the rear from behind her when she’s unaware of what’s happening and she needs to do something really quick to get out of that hole from the rear. So as Ellen walks that way James will come behind her and as James comes behind her he’s going to grab over the arms, she’s going to headbutt and scrap those knuckles, peel those fingers back and make separation and as we do this one more time Ellen will give all the loud verbal commands to tell him to let go, let go and the separate and then she can just get herself out of the area as quickly as she can and keep announcing that there is a problem, very important."
