Self-defense against a much bigger person
Without a doubt, the worst situation you can be in is being faced with a larger attacker.
Contrary to popular belief, size does actually matter. So, here you’ll learn how to defend
yourself against a larger attacker.
So, you might be thinking: “Is it even possible to defend yourself against such a big guy?”
Firstly, it is, but it’s not an easy task. It’s a very challenging situation and it’s important to be
well prepared, physically and mentally.
If the person is much bigger then you, chances are he’s also much stronger then you which
puts you at a disadvantage. However, all is not lost. There is still a chance for you to get
away if you know the proper techniques.
The importance of a first strike
One of the first things you want to consider if ever you are fearing for your life and are faced
with an attacker who is much larger then you is that you want to be the one to hit first.

I mean, think about it. Do you really want to have someone who is twice your size the
opportunity to hit you first?
Chances are he might knock you out or severely injure you, which then makes it very difficult
for you to get away.

So, the first thing to do if ever you need to defend yourself against a larger attacker is to hit
first. Usually, a headbutt can do the trick.
Since the person is larger than you, chances are he’s also taller than you, so you can easily
headbutt your attacker without even needing to get into position. Additionally, open palm
strikes, or elbow strikes also work well.
Stand your ground and avoid wrestling a bigger guy
Another important factor to remember is to not wrestle your opponent. That is the last thing
you want to be doing. Don’t forget, your attacker is much bigger than you, so he will be able
to outweigh you every time.
3/3
Also, by attempting to wrestle your opponent, you’re only wasting your energy and tiring
yourself. So, don’t waste your time. Go straight for a strike that will leave an impact and give
you the way out.
