For example, in a bearhug over your arms, if you immediately bend your arms so his grab is around your chest rather than your waist, you can still move your hips. If he manages to slide his grip down toward your waist, you won't be able to free your hips. So one strategy for a rear bearhug grab is to immediately bend your arms and drive them forward so your hips stay free to step around. It often helps to shift your hips to one side first to make space, then shift to the other side to step behind. Does that help?
