Fighting Larger People By MJS - 11-16-2008 04:48 PM

=========

I was watching the latest UFC with Randy and Brock. Randy is 6'1, 225lbs. Brock is 6'2, 265lbs. For those not familiar with Brock, here is some info from Sherdog. Its obvious that he's a huge man and has some skill.

I try to be aware of my surroundings when I'm out, so there are times, when I'll glance around the area, and my eyes catch someone who is bigger than I am. For the sake of discussion, I'm 5'10, 207lbs. I sometimes think of what I would do to defend myself against a larger person, should I be attacked.

So, this brings me to the question: What would YOU do if you were fighting someone larger than you? I'm not talking about a cage fight, but a SD situation. Aside from picking up a weapon, I'm looking to discuss how you would apply your Ken(m)po, Kajukenbo, etc., on someone such as what I've listed above.

Hmmm, always hard to say what you would do in a SD situation, as you cannot really plan. If they were much bigger than me, and they came in fast, maybe go low, forearm to groin then hammer hand to the head as they bend double? Or just bite their knees...

Use sound, simple techniques that will end the fight as soon as possible

Attack the most vulnerable areas with vicious efficiency. Eyes, Groin, Throat... Knees are good too if you know what you are doing. Strike Hard, Strike Fast, when the opportunity presents itself get the heck out of there...

Do not wait for the guy to get on the offensive, if you are in a situation where you think you will have to defend yourself against someone significantly bigger then you, get on the offensive before he does, do not relent until he is no longer a threat or you have a SAFE avenue of escape....

Grab his nuts. when his hands go down, clock him.

Go for the knees. A good downward side kick to the knee cap will shatter it. Then he's only 4 feet tall and easier to choke out. If a man can't stand up a man can't fight (unless it's from the guard). Other areas of interest to strike is the throat, eyes, groin, and nose. I believe there was a saying in the Karate Kid III movie and it is referred to as the Quick Silver Method......"If a man can't see he can't fight, If a man can't breath he can't fight, If a man can't stand he can't fight." Although the training methods in which Daniel-son went through in the movie were a little extreme these statements are for the most part true.

Front kick to his forward knee, he will go off balance 1-2 strikes to the head, then run like hell!!
