The grim reality is that there is a limit whereby technique will not overcome physical differences in an unarmed, one-on-one fight. I like the point they made that you have to be more technical and you have to train (and fail) on a regular basis to develop the skills. Some people commented that they should have showed moves instead of talking about it, but truth be told, there isn’t any “move” that anyone can show in a 15 minute video that would apply to all cases of someone taking on someone else bigger than them. Like they said in the video, you have to put in the time, blood, sweat and tears to develop these combative skills. You can’t learn how to fight from watching a single video on TH-cam. I appreciate the content you put out. Thanks.
Two of my brothers are bigger than me growing up so I had to learn skeletal weakness. If you break someones balance you will break someones will to fight on. Never quit
Another equalizer that often gets overlooked: learn to hit *hard* and *fast*. I saw a 5'8", 150 pound boxer put our 6'8" 350+ pound linebacker out with a single lightning-fast right hook in highschool. The fight lasted 3 seconds; the moment he stepped in range to grab the smaller guy he stepped in, angled up, and blasted his jaw with the hardest hook I've ever seen thrown by someone who wasn't Tyson. It was a very sobering moment for everyone who witnessed it, seeing this giant dude who benches 500 pounds (not kidding, his record is still on the wall in the gym) tumble down a flight of stairs, unconscious, after he picked a fight with someone who everyone thought wouldn't stand a chance against him. It wasn't even from surprise, the fight was on, it just ended instantly.
I grew up in the dojo,since age 5-18, and I have the pics to prove it. This is so true. Yal kept it real! Especially 2:35💪🏿 fight with everything you got.
Don't underestimate any opponent big or small. That big guy might be way more ferocious than you think often times we are challenged to fight a lot more just because everyone wants to take down the big target . This is all great advice just be advised.
Smaller people have a better center of gravity and are smaller targets compared to someone big they are a larger target, can lose their balance easier and need more food substance to survive an to keep pushin on..just because your small doesn't give the advantage to the big guy or women as long as you know your advantages. Great video!!
@@danboone5672 your just a sorry sack of shat that isn't nun in real life lmao I been stabbed,jumped and shot at and had my fair share of fights the shorter people are harder to fight for me... that being said I'd like to meet you in person to teach you wrong but to bad your just a keyboard warrior..
@@Iride505 LOL....not me. I said it was solid advice, not foolproof advice. Bigger, stronger guys are still bigger and stronger.. but this advice may give me a chance of survival
For the smaller person to prevail, you need to learn the vulnerable areas of your opponent. Vicious attacks and strikes to these areas are your only option. To be able to disable the attacker is the game changer and can lead to a successful encounter. Of course if the option to break contact and run is available, take it.
#1. Become proficient in kuzushi to steal a stronger, larger, threat's structural balance if you're unarmed. #2. Become proficient in limb breaking, strangle holds and chokes. #3. Becoming proficient in boxing evasive footwork, evasive headwork, trapping and range control.
Two of the nastiest KO's I saw in highschool came by short dudes. Both of their opponents were significantly taller. Not saying that was the norm, but it DID happen.
some of the toughest dudes i fought were smaller guys, they can be fierce and explosive. with bigger guys, i always tried to box and use my speed, chip away at em if time allowed. my friend is about the size of fit to fight and he would use his wrestling, punch his way in n take em down, or head butts. but if a big guy like imri lands a solid hit on you, its not going to be great
Because real life isn’t boxing and you will gas out real quick when all the bigger guy has to do is keep moving in while you have to do all that boxing just to stay alive. Also there’s no ref to break up a clinch or move you off the ropes. If you’re just going to run away why even fight to begin with, just run away?
Go for the junk as fast as possible. In high school i took out a bully who was a football player twice my size by punching him in the junk as hard as i could. When he let go and dropped down i knee'd him right in the face busting his nose. I took off and he got in big trouble since he was a repeat offender.
That's why weapons were invented. A street fight IS NOT a sport. Someone is really trying to put you in the hospital or grave. If the attacker is bigger and stronger then you've got to make things equal. Speed and being lower to the ground aren't enough. Now even a small knife can slice across a forearm easily. Most attackers don't like seeing their own blood gushing out. Most don't like it if you poke holes in their body. If they persist then you just have to keep slicing until they get discouraged. Try attacking a little Filipino and you'll understand.
What if you’re being attacked by a 4’11” man who is penisless? Why don’t we start with the basics? Show us how to defend ourselves against a baby, and then like, a fifth grade girl, and then, you know, if we have time, on up to a scary man.
never a fair fight.. if you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin; if you're mixin it up with a larger, stronger opponent, you better fight like the third chimp on the ramp to the ark as it's starting to rain; ftf is the real deal because they're not selling something and not tied to one specific technique
Yes and no. The International Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation (IBJJF), North American Grappling Association (NAGA), and virtually every other combative sport organization forms divisions based on gender, age and weight for a reason. These are all factors in any physical endeavor. Having trained in BJJ, judo, wrestling and Muay Thai for over 15 years, I have rarely seen a high level female BJJ practitioner who could hold her own against a dude off the street who had a +80lbs weight advantage. That being said, they sure as hell whooped dudes on the regular who had a 30-40lbs weight advantage. BJJ is great, but it’s not realistic to expect the average woman to train enough to be able to reliably defeat the average man in a one-on-one unarmed fight.
Why are you ignoring the knees? Take a kubotan or chisel (cut down broomhandle to about 6 inches and chisel formed on both sides) and target the knees and other bony areas. Hurts bad and can even crush bones. If it`s in the colour of your skin and you know how to palm it it`s likely that the other person(s) don`t even know it`s there until the first or second person is already on the ground.
Taking someone's knees out should only be done in certain context. Like if a bigger guy approaches you on the street and you think you're gonna get robbed or something. But you shouldn't go for someones knees in a "normal" fight situation ( i.e. barfights, fight on a college campus ect ect....). Because if you end up in front of a judge, you're gonna have to explain to the judge why you did permanent damage to someone. Now, if you were about to be robbed or a burglar was in your house, you're good. But if its a barfight, you're gonna have a hard time trying to convince a judge that your opponent, no matter how much bigger he was, intended to do you permanent or serious damage. So you'll probably go to prison for a good stint over a knee kick. No judge is gonna side with you taking someone's knee out because you were afraid to take a run of the mill butt kicking. So you gotta be careful when using a move like that
@@josheternal In general you should only fight in a certain context. As for "normal" fight situations: Not exactly right but it probably depends on the jurisdictions. If you are not mutual combatants and you are not the primary aggressor and there is a disperaty of force (e.g. you are much smaller/weaker) you`d probably be fine. Here you don`t have to react with the minimal ammount of force needed but you can use a "reasonable ammount needed". We here also have something that`s called "palliative self defense". That being said if you get caught in any fight it probably ends in front of a judge so follow the golden rule.

i am actually 6' 4 so this technique can help me evade those kind of attacks. thanks for that!
I am 5 foot 8 and 160 lbs and the best technique I've found is to hit lower chest and knock the wind out of them
If you ever want to see the speed comparison watch per say feather weight vs heavy weight fighters, its a wild difference
go ugly early and finish your opponent. The wolverine is left alone not because of size or strength , it's because he is ferocious .
Great stuff as always TR! Much love yall
Brings to mind a situation I had with two brothers in grade school

Tall guys underestimate sometimes
Why is everyone’s anecdotes about high school?
What are the heights of the 3 instructors just to be clear?
6'3", 5'7", 5'0" (guess on the last one). They mentioned the first 2 in the video.
Very good. Thank you very much.
what about beating up smaller attackers? Especially when there is 10 - 15 of them and they swarm you in all directions.
Get your back against something solid I would guess.
That’s what guns and bombs are for, there’s no martial art that could prevail in that scenario.
Outside of controlled environments there's no such thing as dirty fighting
Finally someone said it. Size and strength DO matter. It's as if most people think im crazy when I say that.
