An inebriated co-worker sees you standing under the mistletoe at a holiday party. He grabs you in a front bear hug, pinning your arms to your body, perhaps even lifting you off the ground. (okay, it doesn't have to be a drunk co-worker) |
Drop your weight (even if you're not touching the ground) and shove your arms straight up to the outside of your opponent's arms. If your opponent catches your weight as you drop, it may take a few seconds for his arms to tire enough for you to slip a little so you can shove your arms up. |

Hit him with the uppercut to the groin because he's always making suggestive comments and harassing you at work. |
Put your left forearm on his right thing and grab his right ankle with your right hand. Pull back and up on his ankle as you drive forward with your left hand (and even your right shoulder) for the takedown. |

At the end of the takedown, maintain control of his leg, with your right arm wrapped around his ankle. |
Drop back into a figure 4 arm lock on his achilles tendon. Your right leg should be over his left leg to prevent him from attacking with it. Keep in mind that pain compliance / submission techniques like this probably won't work if your opponent is drunk. If this is the case, just get away after the takedown. |
Peace on Earth, good will towards men.
