how to fight a bigger opponent

**SuperCollider** · Posted On: 9/27/2007 9:15pm

Have you seen that fight between Igor Vovchanchyn vs Paul Varelans?

Igor's use of backward circular footwork and extremely powerful long hook combinations against a much larger and heavier opponent was absolutely awesome. Try some of that.

Similarly Mighty Mo dropped Choi Hong-man (giant of a guy) with a high overhand.

I'd recommend resigning yourself to maximum rapitude.

Don't forget to GO UPSTAIRS WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Seriously though, limit your kicks to the legs and trunk. If you try and pull a Cro Cop, you WILL get knocked on your arse.

If that's true you should tell him to come to the throwdown and fight someone training in MMA with some good grappling skillz to embarrass him with

Remind me again, how long have you been training?

Seems to me that a large part of beating a larger opponent (i.e. somebody who has a physical advantage on you) is by being much, much more skilled than he is. Do you believe that you're at that point yet?

I'm not trying to be a dick, man. I just think it would suck to get my ass kicked by a large, untrained man, meaning somebody who won't be in control if he lands shots. Just doesn't seem worth it, somehow.

If he does beat you I dont think it means what you train isnt effective in a fight at all, just that he was not able to beat someone his own size who did your kind of training. If he really wanted to prove his point you'd think he'd have to have an opponent in the same weight range or its silly.

It'd be like a chunner beating up some little kids to prove its effectiveness vs multiple opponents.

My cardio sux (don't tell anyone). However, that doesn't mean I'm slow. Again, does he have any training? Boxing? Brawling?

Many big guys have gone through life not having fought at all, using size to intimidate. And size does not help when you are being hit in the face, kidney, or ribs. You can use the stick and move approach, or you can rush him. Bottom line, if you think you might lose, chances are you will lose. Trust your training, hit first,hit fast, hit hard, over and over, and above all, KNOW you will win.

In other words, beat that bitch like he stole something.

Jumping double larratt kick, as you land, back roll over your shoulder and shoot in for a single or leg pick as he is recoiling backwards, as he crashes to the ground avoid his doughnut ejection attack, put on your wizards hat and drop into a heel hook whilst Moby (possibly the American singer, songwriter) is failing around on his back moaning like a partially molested tyrannosaurs.

It worked for genki sudo

It could work for you

Yeah, but if pwrz were Genki, he wouldn't be asking our advice. THink of powers as genki's 10 year old sister.

Scream in his ear pwrz...."stop it" as you palm strike him and slap his bulbous cheeks.
Isn't there a Steven Hayes video he can watch?

If this guy's fat, and doesn't train, hitting him in his soft, though padded belly, will make him want to **** himself. Try to time it as he breathes in. It'll take a few to have the effect...but it will add up.

The belly padding only works if he's hard underneath...otherwise he'll want to poop out a family pack of snickers after a few. (do you sleep more than three hours a night now pwrz??? that alone will raise your chances from nothing to very little.

How's your takedown defence? Cos if I was a big fat guy fighting with a little guy who knows how to hit me, even without MA trainning I may be able to come up with a cunning plan to negate his Kung Fu.

Oh, and hit him in the head with your hand and the leg with your kicks. Gut shots sometimes work, sometimes don't, usually don't (I say this as a fatty myself).
