After the single leg, where would you go from there? Would you attempt to mount and attack, or could you just try to get away from them?

Anyone bigger than me could easily kill me without trying. I would do whatever it took to avoid a physical confrontation and get as much distance between him and me as I possibly could.

The best way to fight a bigger stronger opponent is to put him on his back. As a result, to try to get away from your opponent after you successfully took him to the ground and therefore gave yourself the best possible advatage to win wouldnt be practical. Mount or knee in the belly, and attack

Sounds like a good plan to me. Also, by taking a big fighter down to the ground, they loose the advantage of leverage in their punches, relying essentially on only arm strength from their back. Having experience in the mount would help from this point on; experience I honestly need more of.

If the opportunity presents itself, a good solid strike to a kidney will work wonders, as well as a hammerfist to the top of the head (if the opportunity presented itself!). Someone also mentioned striking the armpits, that can really hurt...especially if you can manage mutliple strikes! Putting a good knee strike into the tail-bone also works wonders for making anyone lose the desire to fight you anymore, as well as a throat strike or punching either side of one's neck.

Also, unless he is particularly muscular, a straight lead knuckle punch to the chest plate (if you're in danger of you life) seems like it would put him down. If you find yourself in close proximaty and can pull it off, an elbow strike to the head would also take him down...the head isn't made to withstand high impacts, no matter how big one may be.

The easiest way is obviously a kick in the groin.

I seen this one ufc fight, where a 165 pound guy took out a much large man, about 250 or more, in just seconds, by going for one knee, and then the other...the big guy just curled up in the corner and threw in the towel. I supposed the same could be done by repeatedly attacking the kidneys, or the throat, or the eye region, or the sternum, etc. Repitition in striking is usually a success in these matters where a person isn't familiar when jujutsu or aikido throwing and or lock/breaks.

Good luck.

Either get on their inside and remove their reach advantage, or go for a take down and either GnP or sub.

Addressing a destablinzing type of manuver alone...I'm with the side downward stomp to the outside of the knee. That should work to break his balance and effectively face his weapons away from yours for a moment. That type of potental damage will help you in your next series of takedown attempts. Single leg or sweep or whatever. (Partial to Jim suggestions)

knee kicks are always good, but if he has already closed the distance and you have to stop him punching to the trachea to break it, eye strikes, as well as hitiing nirves and such around the neck.
