Question

How can i use my 6'3" height as an advantage in a fight??

Answer 1

Use your reach.  Stay off your opponent and keep popping them with kicks and punches.  (I imagine you could probably knee someone under the chin without too much trouble as well!)

Answer 2

well......if you want to knock out the person who you are fighting pop him really hard under the chin!

Answer 3

well, you can obviously use force as your advantage

Answer 4

If you re that tall (as I am) you should have a good reach.  Create some distance when you need to.

Answer 5

It depends on the size of your opponent. If he is 6'2" then no. If he is 5'4" then yes.

Answer 6

As a taller person, you'll probably have reach on most people you fight. You can use this as an advantage by keeping your opponents fists away from your body. Land your punches before the other guy gets close enough to land his. Back away, and maintain your distance.

There are distinct drawbacks to being tall too. Should your shorter opponent get on the inside, you're not going to have alot of room to throw your punches, and he is going to be able to clobber you until you can back away. Also, you'll have a disadvantage wrestling with a shorter guy

Answer 7

Your stand-up fight would be great. You should have a substantial reach, if you're all in proportion.

Watch the UFC 84 fight, BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk. That fight is a perfect example of height advantage. Penn embarassed Sherk. Penn is 5ft 9in, Sherk is 5ft 6in. Penn had a significant reach advantage. Sherk couldn't get close enough to do anything with his little sausage arms.

Answer 8

your standup will be your strongest weapon, imo, if you have a long reach

what you have in your advantage is the range between you and your opponent

try working on your boxing

Answer 9

Pop the dude on the top of his head big guy!
