Krav Maga - Bearhug from the Front with Arms Free (Countering Double Underhooks)

In this #KravMaga Student Section video we go over how to counter double underhooks while performing the defense against Bearhug from the Front with Arms Free (Level 2 technique). If the attacker has a grappling background, they may use double underhooks when performing the Bearhug from the Front. It's important for the defender to know how to counter this. This video covers the following: 1. What double underhooks are. 2. Why I prefer to use this counter before trying the Bearhug from the Front with Arms Free - Leverage on the Neck (Level 2 technique). 3. How to counter double underhooks to get to the "space and base" position. 4. Two common mistakes to avoid while performing this counter. Additional videos and information about our self defense, fighting, and fitness programs are available at http://www.kravmagatraining.com/ The videos on this YouTube channel are NOT a replacement for actual instruction. They do not teach techniques, but instead isolate and fix problems within the technique or its individual components. The videos are designed to help the student who has already learned the technique under the instruction of a qualified instructor. Important Note: These videos are specific to the techniques and curriculum taught to the students at our facility. Students from other Krav Maga schools and organizations are more than welcome to watch and use these videos and we hope they find them useful! However, variations may be taught that are different from the techniques taught at other Krav Maga locations. This doesn't mean one variation is wrong or the other is right. They are just variations...plain and simple. The most important question for any technique or defense should be this: Does it work for the individual who is performing it? As long as it does, then the technique or variation has merit, regardless of where it comes from! That's the number one principle that we emphasize at our school.
