In wrestling, a '''bear hug''', also known as a '''bodylock''', is a [[grappling]] [[grappling hold#Clinch hold|clinch hold]] and [[grappling position#Stand-up grappling position|stand-up grappling position]] where the arms are wrapped around the opponent, either around the opponent's chest, midsection, or thighs, sometimes with one or both of the opponent's arms pinned to the opponent's body. The hands are locked around the opponent and the opponent is held tightly to the chest. The bear hug is a [[grappling position|dominant position]], with great control over the opponent, and also allows an easy [[takedown (grappling)|takedown]] to the [[back mount]] position.
A variation of the bear hug is the inverted bear hug, where one wrestler has his hands locked behind his opponent's mid or lower back and presses his forehead into their [[sternum]], while pulling his locked hands inwards towards himself
