    In this video Nick Drossos is teaching how to deal with a much larger attacker.
    "How to defend myself against a much taller attacker?" This is a common question that we get, so we decided to make a video explaining self defense tips to use against a taller and larger attacker.
    We brought you a 6'7" 230lbs attacker to show how strong and powerful such an opponent can be!
    Size is certainly an important factor in a fight. Taller attackers have a huge range advantage; they can strike a smaller attacker much easily because of their long arms. Also, because of their size, they usually have a lot of power coming in with their strikes.
    Because of that, you need to be prepared and know what to do against a taller attacker. Having to experience and face a much taller and stronger opponent for the first time in a street fight is not a good idea.
    A great way is to practice in advance and in a controlled area what it feels to be pushed and shoved by a much taller opponent. You can do a similar drill to the one that was shown in the video.
    Your self-defense training should include attackers from various sizes.
    If you are ever faced against a taller opponent, you want to try to defuse the situation as much as possible. Here are some verbal defense tactics that you can use against a taller attacker:
    "I don't want to fight you"
    "I apologize...Let's talk about it"
    "I can give you some money"
    "How much money do you want"
    "I'm sorry, it won't happen again"
    While defusing the fight, you need to be prepared to strike your attacker at all times. Here are some strikes that you can use against a taller guy:
    • Headbutts - They are powerful strikes - Your forehead will more or less be aligned with the softer part of your attacker's facial area - Deliver a solid blow to the nose of your opponent.
    • Eye gouge - Rip into your attacker's eyes and face - it's very effective!
    • Solid Knees - If a clinch as occurred, throw in some solid knee strikes.
    • Pre-emptive strikes - Against a much taller opponent, you need to strike first.
    Make sure not to give him the chance to hit you first. You can't afford to take a punch against such a taller and bigger guy. It only takes one solid punch from such a bigger opponent to knockout someone smaller.
    p.s. Remember to have your hands up at all times to cover your centerline.
    We hope that you enjoyed the video.

  • @ALVHUN

    Excellent advice. I have been training for 40+ years. Even so, my best line of defence is not to be there. Always be aware of your surroundings. Learn to read/sense body language, negative energy. Women are better, (have a natural ability) at having a sense of someone wanting to harm them than men. If your gut is telling you something is wrong, there is something wrong.
    I avoided an armed robbery in S. Miami while waiting for lights to change red by using my peripheral vision to notice a black man jump out of the bushes at 2am. He had a white towel draped over his arm held at 90 degrees. Before he had a chance to rob us the moment he cleared the driver's front corner I barked an order for my brother to drive through a red light. It is ok to break the law, to survive in a self defence, life and death situation. This all happened in very short seconds!
    Another time a truck drive that was loosing boulders pulled over as I motioned to him. He walked towards me with his right hand not swinging, I observed him concealing a 3 foot 3" diameter steel pipe. I put my hands up, palm open and began to say to him to take it easy, take the car if you want it. I kept my distance, always aware of the distance he and I could cover based on sparring with people his size. Turned out he was 6'6" weighing about 300lbs. A very big, angry boy, much bigger than me with a weapon to boot. He raised the pipe, I thought he was going to hit the car. I did not care about the car that was running door open, my briefcase on the front seat. I was getting ready to run if I needed to right on the side of the highway. He grunted, turned around and left. I called police and the officer who arrested him told me he shit his pants dealing with him. He wondered how I managed to stay calm cool and collected. Simple answer. Many years of training. My friends asked me what karate move I did on him. I said the best one I know, ready to run. Being a hero, can get you killed, no matter how much training you have. learn to survive.

      It's not true that ones gut instinct is always correct in regards to folk's intention to attack. A large percentage of the population do actually project unwarranted fear and paranoia onto non-perpetrators. I've seen this millions of times, you must be living in cotton wool to not realize it.
      For example I walk a lot late night for relaxation, I enjoy it. I've done this for 20 years. I may look scary to a woman, but I am the safest person a woman would come across at night, I mean no-one ill-will. And I do my best to use body language that lets them know I'm not a threat if I come across someone who is uncomfortable about walking at late.
      Still, I have had women freak out when they approach me. Most stuck it up, go past and nothing happens. But I've had women come to within 20 metres of me then actually do a 90 degree and run across the street. Now her gut instinct is the opposite of reality, in fact she is far more safe with me around than not. I see perpetrator projection all the time. Also, not often, but occasionally I have had guys have a go at me because they thought their gut was telling me I was a threat on these late night walks. I"m very relaxed walking at night, however most folks are not, and I find it sad to see them in discomfort over a safe guy like me. And if they go for fight not flight based upon that false reading, then the bloke you were speaking to in your comment is the one that creates the problem.
      The main reason folks get attacked is because of this paranoia. The best way to trigger a person is to project fear onto him, they take it as an accusation, you are calling them a perpetrator, a bad guy. This is why I rarely have problems walking at night, I assume the best unless indicated otherwise. And even then, it might not be a problem if I treat them like a good guy and I don't project fear and suspicion onto him.
      I don't look cagey walking past people, even if they are pretty loose. Looking cagey and suspicious is the best way to trigger guys. And life is more enjoyable for me, I get about without always being fearful and paranoiad, triggering people or imagining all these possible threats that probably won't materialize.
      Only two nights ago I had this steroid guy with a trophy wife pull up ahead of me while I"m walking, get out and aggressively ask if I'd picked up his wife's keycard on the ground I had just passed. I answer no I hadn't seen anything, but he wouldn't believe me. Even in this situation, I don't project fear onto him. He would take that as permission to aggress further. By not projecting the same back to him he ended up putting his head down and walked away mumbling to himself. It's amazing how much trouble we attract by projecting a a fight or flight response onto another. Of course I was ready for it and always am, however through fear people often create problems where they could be avoided.
      I don't believe in being naive or never heeding your fear either. I'm really just communicating the opposite side of the equation as you're unbalanced towards the other side. The truth is that sometimes one's gut instinct is right and sometimes wrong.
      This also depends upon the person. Many people's gut instincts are consistently wrong because they are paranoid and living in their fear. Some people' s instinct is consistently right, but you will only be in touch with that reality if you are not actually paranoid. Paranoia will make you wrong nearly every time, and as a result you create a lot of problems with others that would otherwise not exist. The cons far outweigh the pros.

      @divine308 6 років тому +2

      Martial Masters that is true, but a liver strike has been scientifically tested to incompasitate anyone for this reason:
      The capsule around the liver has a lot of nerve fibers. It’s directly linked to the autonomic nervous system. When there’s a sudden blow, there are dynamic pressure changes in the actual organ itself, and that stretching of the organ - if you compress one side it stretches on the other because it’s pliable - causes these nerves signals that go directly into the autonomic nervous system and can cause a complex cascade of events. It's something you can’t control mentally, and it causes a sudden dilation of all your blood vessels everywhere except for the brain. At the same time, your heart rate decreases. Normally, to maintain blood pressure, if your blood vessels dilate, your heart beats faster to maintain the pressure in the cardiovascular system, but if you dilate the blood vessels and drop the heart rate, the blood pressure suddenly drops dramatically. Essentially that’s what’s happening with the blow to the liver: The fighter takes a shot, you get this nerve signal going into the autonomic nervous system, your blood vessels dilate, the heart rate decreases, the blood pressure suddenly drops, and the athlete collapses. You can’t control it. You’re down.
      The reason for the collapse is, when your blood pressure’s going down, your body tries to instinctively control the blood pressure, and if it can’t raise the heart rate or restrict the blood vessels, it puts the body in a supine position so that it can maintain some blood flow to the brain. Because if you lose blood pressure to the brain, obviously it’s not compatible with life. The liver is pretty low and easy to reach even if the opponent is trying to protect it a light punch in the liver can potentially knock someone out or make them think they are going to die. The liver is located in the upper right-hand portion of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm and on top of the stomach, right kidney, and intestines. The liver, a dark reddish-brown organ, has multiple functions.

Also, I've been teaching karate for a few years and have always taught my students that getting in close to a bigger opponent is always better. Muscles are most powerful when they are fully extended so staying inside that long reach is beneficial.

      Headbutts are very strong, quick and relatively easy to land at such close ranges. If you hit someone with your forehead, the thickest part of your skull, on their nose or chin, it's going to do your opponent way more harm than you. Basically, lots of power generated in a very short space.

    Firstly, for self defence you just match the taller opponent's body weight. Hight does effect things slightly but not as much as weight. For example, if the taller opponent is a hundred and ten kilograms the shorter man just needs to get to a hundred and ten kilograms to defend himself.

I had him in a position where I held his right elbow with my arm across his face. His face was defenseless as I swung to it. I let him up and you could see how light headed he was from the punches and swung even slower. Since I'm shorter I could easily avoid his punches by crouching slightly and had the advantage to uppercut him.

    I had a fight at a night club on the dance floor with a huge guy, I am five feet seven and he must have been six feet four. It started with him deliberately bumping into me a few times... then he pushed me very hard I got pushed onto some of the other people on the dance floor. I regained myself and went to the bouncers, they didn't do anything as they judged me by my skin color. Ok I said and the next day I got the club closed. I have learnt one thing in life be ruthless and people will kiss your ass. I got the video surveillance tapes and found the big guy and filed assault charges on him. I might be small but I am smart and carry money. I settle my cases in court and the bad guy goes to jail.

    Consistently, Very Practical advice. I was trained to box at a prominent gym where I got the same training fighting taller fighters. Jam them, Get close, where your punches are more effective and theirs are "Less" effective. Even now when I throw punches up high at my heavy bag I almost leap into the punch, lol, I'm 5 foot 6. I would have a hard time punching that guy in the knee.

      Lou Sgunt I'm working on that but sometimes getting access to a concealed weapon is difficult. I also have other weapons but in the situation I mentioned above, I didn't have access to any of them. I'm barely 5'3 and the attacker had to be at least 6'4. Nick says size matters in a fight. My main concern is how would I take down a large man so my children don't get hurt. I didn't have the option to run and if I did, running with 3 kids dragging would slow me down.

    If you run off, you need to step to the side and run past him. You don't want to have to turn, you want to make the big guy have to turn and start running. You get a lot more distance than turning and running behind. Assuming you can rotate the situation in order to do this.

    B.S. Anyone who says size matters has never been in a real streetfight. Size doesn't matter. Skill matters. Size is a factor, yes. But ultimately, it doesn't matter. There's an old saying, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. Look at ALL animals. Most predators are smaller than their prey. The fact that someone is bigger than you does NOT mean he can fight.

    @haywardho6801 7 років тому

    1 huge mistake your making is your within punching range of this attacker there for any good street fighter would knock you out before you would get a word out, so keeping out of punching distance is really important when your trying to defuse, obviously if the fight starts with him grabbing you or coming into your face out of nowhere, try and create the space and defuse or commit and gap close

    The killer mindset behind knifes, batons, and guns with the right hands doesn't fear size. Neither do the knife hands, hammer fist, punches, elbows, knees, and legs with aggression, speed, and training focused on killing. Whoever is prepared to fight to the death and kill for survival will succeed. Mindset is everything, and more important than size. Because the right mindset also gets the right training. Fear is the killer of the weak in combat. What happens when you can't run or talk it out? Don't wait for it to happen to realize you weren't ready. It's better to legally carry weapons, have hand to hand training, weapons training, experience, and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

    this comment is not about tall vs short, its about fighting in general. After a night out me and a close mate was walking to a taxi station and noticed behind us a fully covered and balavla'd (face covered) person behind. we stopped and waited for him to pass, however he stopped at a tree yards in front. We decided to carry on walking in the same direction and then my friend let loose "come on then you fuckin prick i'll smash you etc etc" to which i pulled my mate onwards and said lets go home . The guy undone his bag pulled a knife and quickly got on the phone . we are 28 and both managers of respectful jobs. this guy and his friends were probably 16-18 and would have killed for the sake of being a big man. Sometimes not worth it.
