Defend Against Being Picked Up for Women
Hi! I’m Steve Jimenez with fitandfearless.com Krav Maga, Austin, Texas with Marissa Esquivel. This time we are going to go over the bear hug scenario picked up arms caught. The worst case scenario. The bear hug was totally unexpected, maybe you had no training, the sensitivity training, to be able to base out before they actually pick you up. Now you are actually picked up and you are in the air. What do you do? You just want to base out. Open your legs and just…alright, ready? In this scenario arms caught, picked up, bear hug. So I pick her up, I’ve got my hips underneath here; I am using my legs to lift her in the air. She has no hands to defend herself, so now she is going to use her leg. She is actually going to take her foot as far away as she can and try to bring her knee into the groin. Forcing me to drop her, putting her in position for more combatives, if I’m still standing after that knee shot. Bear hug picked up, arms caught.
