In this episode, Marcus Torgerson walks you through two critical techniques for both offense and defense.

🔹 How to Throw an Elbow Strike
Marcus breaks down the vertical elbow strike with a simple yet effective approach. By getting up close to your attacker, you’ll use the tip of your elbow to deliver a strike that forces them back or down, giving you the opening to either continue fighting or escape. The key? Just “smell your armpit” and let the natural motion of your body do the work.

🔹 How to Escape a Bear Hug
Caught off guard by a bear hug? Marcus demonstrates how to break free when an attacker grabs you from behind. By targeting the groin and using quick, strategic hip movements, you’ll disable your attacker and create the opportunity to either knee strike or push your way out of danger.
