Morgan demonstrates one of several defenses against a bear-hug grab from behind: use a "gluteus punch" to unbalance (Kuzushi) the attacker, grab a leg and sit back to force what can be a very hard back-fall, then carry the defense to a full Waza (complete submission) by placing an ankle behind the attacker’s knee and setting up a "nut-cracker" leg-submit. Uke is Kellie. If carried to completion, this lock will result in a separation of the femur from the tibia and fibula. The defender can then disengage and get away - and the attacker will NOT be able to give chase.
