Black bear v black belt: Climber uses martial art skills to fight off beast while clinging to rockface

The terrifying interaction happened earlier this month on Mount Futago in Japan. Footage shows the animal charging at him while he was clinging onto a rockface. The bear lunged at him as she was defending her cub and even though he punched, kicked and screamed and fought it off, it came back. He then did the same thing, fighting it off until it seemed to give up and run away. The footage ends with the bear going to a bush with her cub while the climber, terrified, checks that it is not going to return.
