What is the best way to fight some one taller then you?

Question

i have this guy who is coming after me. i am 5' 7 i have a lot

of upper body strength and he is about 5' 11 or 6' 0

and has a lot more leg power then me. we have both been in fights and we fought once last year and it was a draw. he tackeld me but i got him in a head lock and choked him out. i will try to stay away from him but if we do fight what should i do to beat him?

Answer 1

just rush him when he least expects it. it isnt a wimp move if you win. if you beat him bad enough you dont have to worry about him coming back. i recommend u jump on his back and unload to his head.  

Answer 2

A good way to win is by kicking him in the side of his thighs because on the side of his thighs is a very sensitive nerve called the sciatic nerve. In muay thai we kick our opponent in that area to weaken their legs and make it more difficult for them to kick back. You can punch your own thigh and see if you feel it. You feel a wobbly, ticklish, but painful sensation.  Continously keep kicking him the side of both of his thighs as much as you can then you'll start to see him having some leg trouble then he'll start limping and have trouble standing. He will then crouch down and get lower then you'll be able to fight him as an equal but dont stop keep kicking him until he bends on his knees. But dont just keep kicking him in the same area mix it up so he cant predict when your attacking. Strike low, high, mid, high, low, etc. And aim for his floating ribs which are located at the bottom of his rib cage. The floating ribs are very flexible and lethal. One punch in the floating ribs can extreme damage and a good chance death. Thats all I will you with hoped it helped.

Answer 3

When fighting someone taller then you take away his reach by getting in close because if your too close he can't hit back because of the distance. If he tries to take you down by tackling lock his head and pull down and trap one of his legs by rapping your legs a round one of his, so he can't get up. Hope I helped

Answer 6

I've fought a football player/wrestler who was 6' 250 lb. and benched around 275lb. and squated over 400lb. He was a biiiiiiig guy. Just remember, pressure points work wonders. Go for the wrists and kick at his knees. I don't know if you have any fighting experience on the ground, but one the ground size doesn't matter.

Answer 7

a kick or knee into the balls for starters anyway that will take down an elephant.couple of smacks to the ribs to wind him

Answer 8

easy, just keep firing hard straight punches at his face. Get him moving backwards and KO him.

Answer 9

Tell Him That If He Doesnt Get Out Of Your Face That His Nuts Are Yours.

Answer 10

I have this similar problem in all my fights.

My weight always puts me in weight classes w/taller guys.

Best advice:

-Get inside and punch to the body. (they will try to use distance)

-Clinch and get the take down.

-Eliminate space and smother your oppenent from the top position.

-Control oppenent and strike/submit.

Of course though--you should avoid fighting at all cost unless it is in a competitive and controlled environment (sporting event).

Answer 11

I havent read the rest of answers (so I could repeat myself)...

best advice is: aim low.. aim vital spots ...

use everything at you disposal (bite him if you have to! :) )

important is that you avoid kicking- if you kick, kick lower than knees! street fighting is not flashy MMA kickboxing sport!

if you know any throws from judo or ju jitsu use them--  close the distance and throw a few close punches and elbows then use the throw...

keep it simple

Answer 12

socalmark got it right.

Get inside!

Answer 13

Start by becoming trained by a qualified person in any traditional Japanese art form of jujitsu that's how.  Then you won't be worried about fighting ever, because it'll force you to grow up a little and realize that you need to fight for "pride's sake" about as bad as you need a hole in your head.  I can't say it enough man ...... go to a dojo learn dude.  I tell every one no matter how old or young this exact same thing in my own neighborhood.  Real bas a**es never sweat fights because they're always prepared for one and they're always humble people as well because of their training.
