  1. Takedowns are not the way to go, in my opinion, for a smaller female who is having trouble with a larger bully.  If this is a case, you need to go into a martial arts class and start training.  I recommend Judo since size seems to be a real issue for you.  I'm not saying don't learn the takedowns, but I am saying is that they will be hard for you to do on a big guy if you are small.  What you need are some good strikes too, what we call atemi in some styles.

    The best thing you need to do is change your lifestyle.  Why are you around this guy who likes to hurt smaller girls?  Are you a school student?  Is there not an authority you can go to----administrators, teachers, parents, POLICE?  Are you living with this guy?  Can you move?  Change jobs?  If this is a social thing, do you perhaps need to get a new circle of friends?  These are the questions you need to ask first, and learn about takedowns after you do that.
