Vicious Rear Arm Grab Takedown

Dealing With Arm Grabs

There are many street fighting situations in which someone grabs your arm from behind. This is commonly seen in bar fights where a guy is pissed off, comes up behind you, grabs your arm to turn you around, and takes a swing. It is also very common in multiple attacker scenarios.

Usually, one guy will pick a fight with you while his buddy comes up behind you and grabs your arm to restrain you. This video shows you a simple and easy-to-master technique that will take out any attacker who tries to grab your arm from behind.

Breaking It Down



As you can see in the video, the groin strike is crucial to this move. Your attacker will expect you to fight his arm which is what most people instinctively do. Because of this he won’t have time to block his groin.

The key to the forearm strike to the base of the skull is to pivot and drop your body weight into it. Many times these two moves alone will take him to the ground, ending the street fight and giving you a chance to escape.

If he is still on his feet, grabbing his head and controlling him by hooking his eye socket is a powerful move. He will go where you want him to, especially since he will be off balance from your previous two attacks.

As shown in the video, turning his head while stepping backwards gets him completely off balance, letting you throw him to the ground. This will effectively end the street fight, or, in a multiple attacker situation, give you time to deal with the other guys. Depending on the situation, you may need to follow up with kicks and stomps to finish the job or you can just make your escape. It’s your choice.

  2. This is yet another great move to use incase. 1 thing I like to do when I get them on the ground is stomp on their hand or fingers. So if they do get up there is 1 less thing to think about.Thanks agian. Donald Track

  14. Good for her…….. And remember. Don’t make her mad…. You will end up on the ground…
    Good moves.
    Remember…. Don’t count on the police to protect you. They come after the fact….You are on your own….
    Know your rights & use them..
    And if you do need to take someone down… When the police come. just give your name & ask for a lawyer..
    If you talk to much, you will end up in jail.. The thugs have more rights then you do..
    Just facts..

  15. I like the simplicity yet effectiveness of the tactic. Gives you time to create distance from the adversary and reassess. Time gives you more advantage. Time allows a tactical retreat or time to incapicate.

  33. Kathy is the best. When she demonstrates she truly demonstrates the “high degree of power” that is absolutely needed to subdue an attacker. Without getting excited she expediently demonstrates and quietly explains, thoroughly & effectively, each individual component of the takedown. 5 Star! Her demonstrations are only exceeded by her accomplishments. Dr Mkh

  44. With a move like that, he is going to be hurting in at least 3 places before he hits the ground. No problem!

  46. Well, if everything else she did to him did slow him down then the slam on the ground and stomp the hell out of him sure as hell will. Very cool move with many punishments through out the moves.

  47. This is a complicated move that will take some practice. One slip up and it could back fire on you.
