How to Fight a Larger Opponent

Step 1. Stopping The Charge

Here's the comment section:

Humans like to talk about things:

  • Just curious why cut kicks to the leg, and push kicks to the kneecap, were not on the menu for the long range defensive strategy piece. Was it just because they’re too dangerous to train or… ? Thanks for all you do.

    • Technically, I was trying to showcase that ONE single technique could be mastered and play a huge role in destroying these huge manimals. I do recommend leg kicks and teach them in detail in the full course, and I think that front kicks to the leg are a *great* way to take the steam out of anyone charging at you… whether a huge opponent, or an armed opponent. I tend to like taking a shot at knocking people’s wind out first before I go to the leg though!

      • My old instructor used to have something called a “zing” kick, like a cross between a sweep and a wing chun front kick, meant to hit and move the patella and hyperextend the leg. (Properly executed, you yell “zing,” a la Jerry Lewis, while you do it, and their kneecap flies off. 🙂 )

        Whenever you want a training partner for the upcoming “self-defense for people old enough to see E.T. in theatres” course, be sure to drop me a line.

        Thanks again. You rock.
