Could a human being, especially an expert martial artist do hand-to-hand combat against an animal as large and powerful as a grizzly bear? What if they had some sort of bladed weapon like a sword or a spear?

A "paw" "swipe" wouldn't kill...

...a claw "swipe" would definitely do some damage.

Dunno about that. A griz can generate enough power without the claws to cause blunt trauma that could kill a person. Crushed ribcage, shattered skull, smashed spine...

Any Real Man can take on a mere grizzly bear unarmed and kill it in a few seconds.

Please show us how.

Please...
 
Only thing I can think of that an unarmed human could possibly do to beat a grizzly would be to hop on its back and get your arms around its neck and choke it. If you're action-hero/war-hero material, then, maybe, just maybe, the bear will lose consciousness before it gets its claws into your arms. But I doubt it. And maybe you're dealing with a bear who is smart enough to do the smart thing in that situation: Flop on its back.

Hell, even a brown bear or polar bear could do that. Grizzlies are the largest, strongest, and most dangerous species of bear. It would be utterly unfathomable for a human being to take one on unarmed.

The key word, of course, is "swipe"...

...which is less than a "smack" with a paw, with is less than being "clubbed" with a paw.

But you go right ahead, Jeremiah.

or kick him in the balls.
 
Most bear attacks on humans are done by Grizzlies. Other bears like brown bears, black bears, kodiaks, polar bears, are usually afraid of people and won't attack them unless they're provoked.

Are you deciding what words should mean again?

Mike, polar bears, ursus maritimus, are the largest of the bears, in fact the largest terrestrial predator of all.

Brown bears are one of two subspecies of ursus arctos, the other of which is the grizzly.

I can't see it even being remotely possible. Of course I could be wrong, but their necks are so muscular that I doubt you'd be able to compromise either airway or circulation so it would even notice, let alone hang on long enough to knock it out.

The founder of Kyokshinkai Karate, Mas Oyama, is said to have killed a charging bull with a punch. If that's true, he might have been able to slightly inconvenience a griz before it tore him to pieces.

Sorry, I don't know my bears. Thanks for the correction.

No apology necessary. I have a friend who just published a book about polar bears. Cool creatures!

Are they an endangered species? Aren't there laws protecting endangered species and making it a felony offense to hunt them?
