Stylistic Responses

[MasterKiller]

Did you say something?

Or is a cartwheel now a real tech now that someone has used it in the ufc.

I reckon I must have a different response to this sort of thing. I always tighten my grips.

Have some one who knows the technique on you. You'd be suprized... You really will loosen up untill your mind overcomes your reflexes. The whole point behind getting them to loosen up is so you can get your arms swinging down to srtike the kidneys. You also must strike that pressure point where the sholder and neck meet. The double srtike to the kidneys is to get them to drop thier arms so's you can get a good grip and pull 'em in tight. If you don't pull them in tight, slamming your but into them will only knock them away, not lift them off thier feet.












We aren't ignoring you NP. We are still shuddering from the mental image of what that probably felt like.

Typically, I find that when someone bear hugs from the back, they also lift you off your feet while squeezing. I usually grapevine a leg to keep from getting tossed; but if I wanted to execute the leg pick, would I thrust backwards to make them drop me, first?

no, the thrust is done on the ground. I don't think you could get enough power out of it airborne to make him drop you. If he lifts you, I'd probably grapevine, then once you hit the ground, thrust back and get his leg.

I don't understand what arm would be around your kneck in a bear hug situation.

I'm guessing shake meant rear naked and MP assumed it. I learned drop seionage as a rear naked defense.

So I have to do this in the right place, blind with bad leverage? Ok. I mean, if it's working for you, ok. It's a brachial stun basically, common LE tactic, and if it's working for you, alright.

Nah. I'm talking about when you raise your arms and shrug, the guy's arms go up and more or less over, kind of around your neck. You could do drop seio from there.
