This is a Terrible escape. First off the offender/attacker usually starts the Bear Hug grab from the victims waist not above the shoulders.

Video Transcript

Today for kids' safety I would like to discuss the idea of being grabbed from behind we'll call that a bear hug. In the unforeseen incident that somebody catches you by surprise and they grab you from behind something that you can do is I use the word explosion. You use your entire body and you are going to take your bottom out to the back. You are going to use your arms as a tool to slowly, not slowly but slightly loosen their grip giving you just enough opportunity to escape so as you do this they are going to grab you from behind and you are going to take our rear and you're going to go to their stomach area and one way to remember that is to remember butt to the gut so you take your bottom to their stomach and your elbows are going to turn, elbows out, thumbs going down and it looks like I call it an explosion because you are using your whole body just like that. So if you are getting grabbed from behind then you are going to do the explosion and then use your hands and push my arms up, duck underneath and escape and that is going to be a helpful tool for you in order to get out of the bear hug. So let's try that again, bottom to their stomach there you go out underneath and then you escape and that's an escape from a bear hug.
