We Did It

Well, we survived our belt tests. Master Munchkin received his new belt at a graduation ceremony last night. Here's the Master demonstrating how to get out of a bear hug.


If you want to try this at home, ask someone to grab you from behind, trapping your arms to your body. First, drop your weight, like the Master is doing. Even though you can't raise your arms, you can lower them, which allows an effective fist to the groin. Add in some foot stomps and some furious wiggling and you should be free! Now, quick, throw some combatives and run away. :)

Miss Munchkin and I are quietly sporting stiff, new green belts. Woo Hoo! :)

Congratulations!! I did your bear hug move. Not sure The Dad appreciated it much. I made sure to tell him you taught it to me.

I bet not. Especially if you landed that groin shot! ;)

Congrats! Sounds like a different bear hug release than ours. The drop and the groin strike are the same, though...
