How to Fight Someone Bigger Than You??
Ask : how to fight someone bigger than you? Many people get intimidated by people who are taller or bigger than they are. Size is a definite advantage in most fights due to the increased power and reach advantage that they have.
Fortunately, in street fighting size and strength are much less critical than in sport fighting like MMA. In combat sports, the fighters are both trained and ready to fight for 3 to 5 rounds. They must have incredible strength and endurance to be able to fight for this long. Street fights generally don’t last more than 10 seconds, and are usually very crude and disorganized. Thus, strength and endurance generally don’t come in to play as much.
What is needed to fight someone bigger than you on the street is a simple game plan, and the ability to act explosively for about 10 to 15 seconds. That’s it. Speed and reflex are much more important than physical strength and endurance. The first step, is to know exactly when you’re in a fight. Many people don’t realize they are in a fight until they’ve already been hit. This is a huge mistake. You should know the physical and verbal cues that tell you they are about to attack you. As soon as you see it, take action. Don’t let them get the first strike advantage under any circumstance.
Second, control the fight to remove the size difference. When boxers fight against taller fighters, they generally like to stay ‘inside’. This means you get in very close to your opponent so that their reach advantage is neutralized. From here you can hook the ribs and throw uppercuts. You’ll also want to take advantages of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques, which generally work the same no matter how large the opponent is. By this I mean takedowns, trips, throws, chokes, and joint locks. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 300lb linebacker, if you get wrapped up in a rear naked choke, you’re going to sleep. Big guys are generally less flexible as well which makes them prone to joint locks and compliance holds.
If you really feel threatened by a much larger attacker, don’t be afraid to go for pressure points and other taboo areas. I’m talking about punching the neck, kicking the groin, or shooting for the ankle. This isn’t 3rd grade. If a huge guy is threatening to hurt you, do what you need to do to neutralize him. Strike first, ask questions later.
Of course, the best and easiest way out of this jam is to simply talk your way out of it. If you can avoid a fight with a larger opponent, do it. They are certainly beatable, but make no mistake, you are at a disadvantage when fighting large attackers especially multiple attackers. It’s much easier to apologize for something you didn’t do than it is to beat down and tackle a huge angry monster..

How to Fight Multiple Attackers
How to fight multiple attackers? More than one person? Fighting in the street is nothing like martial arts or sport fighting. You’ll learn that quickly if you ever are presented with a real life confrontation. Street fighting is an art form in itself and needs to be treated as such.
Rarely will a street fight ever go down in an organized or predictable fashion. Your attacker(s) won’t give you warning or notice when things are about to begin. More often than not, you will be dealing with more than one person as well. You must be very aware of your surroundings, and know that there are probably other people around who will attack you.
The first step when confronted by multiple attackers is to get a good view of your surroundings and know when you are outnumbered. This happens in many cases. You’ll want to know how many people there are, where they are, and how large they are.
Second, you’ll want to position yourself so that you can defense or fight them one at a time. If you’re standing in the center of a room, you’re going to get attacked from behind. It’s going to happen. Be prepared for a headlock or other choke. Try to position yourself in a corner or hallway so that attackers can not get behind you. This will allow you to take them on one at a time.
Third, don’t spend too much time on one person. If you do, the others will jump in. Never go to the ground. As soon as you go down, you are going to get stomped. Stay on your feet at all costs. Your best bet for multiple attackers is to try to stun them with a single strike, then move on to the next attacker, or escape. Trips and takedowns work well too. Attempt to stun or drop an attacker, then immediately move on to the next.
In this type of situation, full force is completely necessary. Don’t be afraid to go for the cheap shots, your life is in danger. The neck and groin are fair game. Tripping also works well. If you can get them on the ground, that buys you some time. Grappling will get you jumped. Don’t wrap up with an attacker if his friends are nearby, you won’t win. Stun him or drop him and move on.
It’s always a good idea to escape if you have any opportunity. Nobody will call you a coward for running away while outnumbered. If you can, injure one of the attackers with a strong attack or takedown, then take off while the others are distracted. Sometimes a powerful blow to one of the group will cause the others to leave you alone. Use any force necessary to do this.
Generally, fighting multiple attackers is about controlling your environment. If you think you’re going to fight off 3 guys indefinitely like in the movies, you’re dead wrong. Eventually you are going to lose. Control the environment, strike fast and hard, and escape as soon as you get the chance..

How to Win a Fight When Attacked
How to win a fight especially when somebody attack you on the street. See this 2 posts : How to Fight More than One Person and How to Fight Someone Bigger Than You. Street combat is a dangerous and unique type of fight that has the potential to do serious damage to those involved. Unlike sport fighting and MMA, there are no referees to end the fight, and no rules to protect the fighters. Anything goes in a street fight.
For this reason, street fighting is actually not at all similar to cage fighting or other forms of martial arts. You will rarely see organized or technically correct fights in real life. Most times, it comes down to who has more street combat experience, rather than who is the better martial artist.
Generally, the moves you encounter in a real life confrontation do not resemble karate. For this reason, it’s hard to train for street combat via ordinary martial arts and self defense classes. Instead, you need to have a game plan and know what to expect in a real life scenario. In a bar fight, your attacker isn’t going to shake your hand and walk into his corner before you begin fighting. They are likely going to talk trash, shove you, or throw a sudden haymaker. These are the things that you need to train for.
To win a street fight you need to know which common signals to look for and have a plan to react immediately and without hesitation when you see them. Street combat is more about a short burst of explosive action, rather than 5 rounds of strategic striking and defense. And to be completely honest, defense is rarely even a factor in most street fights. If you think you’re going to learn how to block every type of attack your opponent could throw at you, you’re sadly mistaken. That’s not how things work.
Your surroundings are another large factor when engaging in street combat. While in a ring, you don’t need to worry about being blindsided or choked out by one of your attacker’s buddies. In a real fight, this is extremely common. Walls, tables, bystanders, all these things play a large part in a street fight. If you think you’re going to square up and have a fair one on one fight with your attacker, think again. That is rarely the way things go. Knowing what to look for can be the difference between a winning fight and being stomped unconscious.
Street fighting is a very unique form of combat and should be treated as its own individual style. It is unlike any type of sport fighting or martial arts, and should not be taken lightly. Relying on martial arts in a street fight can be a deadly mistake. While I am an advocate of martial arts, they simply are not enough to get the job done on the street. Thinking you’re safe because you know a few karate moves is a recipe for disaster. Don’t get caught in a sticky situation without knowing all the dirty secrets to real life street combat..
