Escaping a Predators Bear Hug, The Essential Move
From time to time I like to pass on an effective self defense technique that could possibly help you to escape a dangerous or life threatening situation. Today I would like to discuss “THE BEAR HUG.” This of course, is when someone comes up behind you and wraps both arms around you tightly.
A Predator will often use this type of move to surprise and subdue a victim and as you know, it is very difficult to escape from. Women are generally not as strong as men and as a result, are more vulnerable and helpless in this situation. Here is a technique that will level the playing field for you.
First, You must be absolutely convinced that this person is actually intent on doing you harm, I say this because this technique is quite devastating and you wouldn’t want to accidentally do it to someone who is just clowning around. If so, I want you to visualize the person applying the bear hug from behind you. I want you to bring one of your knees up and place the bottom of your foot on his knee cap. Once your foot is settled firmly on his knee, proceed then in a swift motion, push straight back with all your might!
This simple move will more than likely break his knee and he will release you. I know that many of you are probably squeamish at the prospect of doing something like this but remember……Your life is on the line at this point!
This technique absolutely works and is considered a life saving move. I suggest that you practice it with a partner until you feel comfortable with the motion…of course, stop at the point of actually pushing the knee back. Remembering this valuable technique could someday save your life!

The Clown $31.19 The Clown was Charles Mingus’ second masterpiece in a row, upping the already intense emotional commitment of Pithecanthropus Erectus and burning with righteous anger and frustration. With Pithecanthropus, Mingus displayed a gift for airtight, focused arrangements that nonetheless allowed his players great freedom to add to the established mood of each piece. The Clown refines and heightens that gift; instead of just writing heads that provide launch points for solos, Mingus tries to evoke something specific with every piece, and even his most impressionistic forays have a strong storytelling quality. In fact, The Clown’s title cut makes that explicit with a story verbally improvised by Jean Shepherd (yes, the same Jean Shepherd responsible for A Christmas Story) from a predetermined narrative. There are obvious jazz parallels in the clown’s descent into bitterness with every unresponsive, mean-spirited audience, but the track is even more interesting for the free improvisations led by trombonist Jimmy Knepper, as the group responds to Shepherd’s story and paints an aural backdrop. It’s evidence that Mingus’ compositional palette was growing more determinedly modern, much like his increasing use of dissonance, sudden tempo changes, and multiple sections. The Clown introduced two of Mingus’ finest compositions in the driving, determined “Haitian Fight Song” and the ’40s-flavored “Reincarnation of a Lovebird,” a peaceful but melancholy tribute to Charlie Parker; Mingus would return to both throughout his career. And, more than just composing and arranging, Mingus also begins to take more of the spotlight as a soloist; in particular, his unaccompanied sections on “Haitian Fight Song” make it one of his fieriest moments ever. Mingus may have matched the urgency of The Clown on later albums, but he never quite exceeded it. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi |
