It's a dilemma that every martial artist faces :

How do you beat someone who is bigger than you, stronger than you and has all the intention to use that advantage against you aggressively??

Use your speed advantage, and go for the knees. Blow out one of his knees, and he looses any size advantage he had.

Being smaller, you have more space to move and are more efficient. Plus their groin is much more exposed. Do what Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee do, go for the opponents legs by attacking their knees/shins and sweeping. A taller/bigger person uses more energy to get up off the ground and their falls are harder. If you are good with pressure points, wresting/throws and wristlocks, then move in, otherwise keep your distance and look for groin opportunities.

Be fearless in your attacks, and be willing to take hits. Learn to take many hits and try not to be phased by it. Don't fight with your emotions, fight smart. Fight Fast, with Skill and with Brains. Shift your position many times, and try to use arm or leg fakes. Try to increase your flexibility, stamina, and agility.

THAT HELPS!

I always train with the consideraton that the oponent is gonna b bigger, stronger, and faster than i am... So i work the legs a lot, and practive groin shots.

It's a common and all too deadly myth that people tend to believe in that big muscly guys are slow... They aren't... Just keep that in mind. If they include plyometrics in their workouts then they will have some very quick moves.

When in a fight, especially against a big guy u have to remember to keep out of their range. This doesn't necessarily mean that u have to run away or dance around, it could also mean that u get in close, first, with elbows and knees. Don't b afraid to get in close with the big guys, just be sure know what you're doing first.

Elbows are effective on everyone, big and small, so smack a big guy in the teeth with a good hirozontal elbow and he'll go down like a ten tonne sack of crud...

I suppose kicking the groin would work too, but it looks so much more manly if u make then bleed from the mouth.

All these points are good and should be taken with ample amount of consideration. Here is what I have learnt through my experiences.

Whether it be a real life situation, a barroom brawl, or a Kumite match, attitude is key. Whenever in any situation, you have to have the attitude that "you can't touch me if your life depended on it!" Keep that in your head. You can't TOUCH ME! That way, I have never been able to lose that focus or posture or confidence. This doesn't have to just be in Karate, it can be anything to do with life. It is all attitude in the end.

look out when striking someone in the teeth...i have had teeth imbedded in my knuckles before and it was a lesson learned.........i prefer the chin or nose to prevent injury to myself.........

just rushman's humble opinion.
