Krav Maga – Defense Against Bear Hug From Behind

This page focuses on Krav Maga techniques used to defend against a bear hug from behind (with arms caught). This is also known as defense against a rear bear hug. This section focuses on bears hugs where your arms have been trapped inside the bear hug. For rear bear hug defenses with your arms free, please see defenses against bear hugs from behind with arms free. For information on other Krav Maga techniques (i.e. punches, kicks & grappling), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Krav Maga Techniques section.

This information is meant to supplement what is taught at Krav Maga schools. To properly understand these techniques, you need to learn them from a certified Krav Maga instructor who can give an in-depth explanation of the technique, correct your mistakes and detail how the technique should be utilized. All martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
