Importance of Pre-Emptive Striking with a Bigger Attacker

- If you're faced with a larger attacker, you need to go pre-emptive. Some people do not consider it self defense since you're the first one who is initiating the fight, but you don't want to allow a bigger attacker the opportunity to hit you first or come at you with a knife.
Range, height and weight are all in a larger attacker's favor. Allowing a larger attacker to gain enough momentum or enough range to come at you first can lead to you losing your life in a street fight.
Read your attacker's body language and be aware of your surroundings. It's not about how fast you are, it's about reading your opponent and being one step ahead of him to defend yourself.
Stay safe,

I like this guy's videos. Martial arts are great to learn, but this stuff is as realistic as it could get. Most of the time people aren't going to see it coming. Great to learn some of this stuff!
First legit self-defense video I have watched,not some s*ity bulls*it
I like how he had the knife behind him in the beginning of the video. Really puts it in perspective
how about just running off?...if my memory serves me correct, you did say running is an option...
In like every video he says that m8, a lil l8?
+winter ramos It should always be an option...even if "think" can deal with opponent, first off is to avoid contact or move away...chances are you might not be as strong, armed or as "skilled" fighter but you may be faster more fitter runner. If that not possible, it as sometimes shown on ND vids to "out-think" your opponent...throw wallet on the ground, engage in conversation: defuse etc. The getting "physical" hands-on is last option...and should be used as a means not to "win the fight" but to give one the opportunity to get away.
+winter ramos It is the best option, he said so before.
The Hate Comment Maybe Nick should do a video where he just runs away? Think most of the "opponents" he faces in his videos what not catch him? haha
+Mohammad Tausif Rafi Very true. Escaping unscathed is always a major win.
That is so true, great video.
Thanks
this is the same point I tried to make to my friend Matt on the phone the last week he had a incident with a big guy the night before at a Pub who started shit accused Matt of staring at his girlfriend this guy aggressively came up got in my friends face apparently threatened to put him in the hospital Matt tried to talk him down but when he saw this bigger gentlemen move closer Matt hit him outta instinct he thought he was going to get punched so he struck first and kept going til he backed off after that he ran... He called me he felt bad told me about it he thought he was gonna get in trouble by the police for assault... I told him you won't get in trouble it's not assault your instincts were good and in my point of view you did not assault him he assaulted you when he came up verbally abusing you and he made a move towards you that you saw as a threat and you reacted and struck before he could technically that's self defense and you tried to talk him down... Matt's all good now and no cops have showed up at his door told him don't go drinking alone next time...
don't loose moose man. nick, give moose more cred and time. his perspective is invaluable. it won't be so simple as just talk more. hard for bodovyas to sound intelligent all the time. especially when ya just get going trading old guy stories. just the same moose has got some skills and wealth that's untapped. besides that you can tell he loves what you two are doing. that's not always evident nor the case for teachers and their silent or not so silent partners. thank you and keep on. zdb
Some valid arguments are made here. However why not stay out of knife range altogether? Then if things escalate, just run away. It's better than getting into a fight with someone who is possibly armed with a knife and legally defensible in court.
pre emptive is always best,I had a situation in Glasgow on a Saturday night, I weigh 145lbs and this steroid pumped dickwad thought it would be a good idea to act tough,he was easily 30lbs bigger than me,my girlfriend was stood between us and he was becoming more aggressive, I told him I was sorry to have annoyed him,he pushed my girlfriend aside and as he did I seen an opening and I gave him everything I had,square on the chin,he was totally stunned and surprised, as he was getting himself together me and my girlfriend made a sharp exit to rapturous applause from all the people who had been watching, I felt like a king lol
Awesome bro!
Strike pre-emptive and then run. Hit and run is a very good tactic if you can not avoid. Take care!
+selfpolicing ...or just run from the off-set; I still waiting for that video! lol
Reminds me of TKD people that think a combo and a kick end fights.....it doesn't work like that. Recognize, intercept, isolate, run....never forget to run.
Another great video... thanks
Yup , I got slashed and stabbed , situational awareness is so important , after dealing with incidents where weapons are involved , and getting hurt , I am always on gaurd , always alert , my lip and chin were hanging on by a thread , I said never again
how would I defend against a bigger guy I'd they push and grapple me in a small space like a classroom
Someone that big can probably run faster than you one stride would be like two so unless your really fast id at least strike hard and fast then run in a pre planned direction to either a weapon or barrier between the both of you.
Hi
If you come to St.Louis let me know.
Ok
Run than fast as you can.
Coward!
My opinion though
Tell me something what im gonna do when im attacked by multiple bullies??? (Pls answer because im in real problem!!!)
Why are you in this problem?
Firth Laist I have some bullies on my school and i cant fight them even if i avoid them they starting to get angry and punish me
+Stathis the shadow lycan
Due to the "WAYS" of TH-cam ...I've become an UTERLY Cynical Human Being ...yet, my Humane side is a WIMP!
So, I'll BITE ...and advise FIVE things:
Make friends with the RIGHT people
Keep out of their way (this IS doable) even if they get angry ...it's better than fighting if it's not in you...
Realise, that this IS NOT you for the REST of your life ...things WILL get better
Join a Boxing or BJJ (Brazilian Ju Jitsu) classes. Simply boxing TRAINING (not even being in the ring) worked for me
And lastly, learn to talk back ....UTTER 'back-chat' ....or as we say in the U.K. "Banter" ....give back MORE than you get...
Bullies THRIVE on those whom cower ...you're gonna get SHIT for a while ...yet, they WILL become BORED of you ...and move on.
Maybe, give out the state you're in, as it IS possible, that someone from you're area in commenting here also ...you can train together....
Defence in numbers...........
Of course if he's already grabbing you, you can strike, it's just defense... But outside of it, why would your first strike stop him to stab you? I mean, you have to be 100% sure you will put him KO, no?
These senarios are exactly why and for what weapons were invented. Equalizer's! On another note , the really big guys don't usually carry knives.
Yea but what if you fail in your "going first"? Most people probably would! It would be much smarter to calm him down or just run away as the big guy probably is not that fast. Or in worst kind of scenario grab some tool to get some leverage, instead of going at him with bare hands.
tbf, I think he covers the whole idea of calming down an attacker rather than initiating in another video, especially on people who are taller than yourself
+H. Spider If thery already "going-for-you" may not get the chance...got to be (as much as possible) mentally ready for that too...
Realistic
Request how to protect your girlfriend from a much bigger attacker
I would play him Justin Bieber song and he will die
