In this video Nick Drossos is teaching how to deal with a much larger attacker.

"How to defend myself against a much taller attacker?" This is a common question that we get, so we decided to make a video explaining self defense tips to use against a taller and larger attacker.

We brought you a 6'7" 230lbs attacker to show how strong and powerful such an opponent can be!

Size is certainly an important factor in a fight. Taller attackers have a huge range advantage; they can strike a smaller attacker much easily because of their long arms. Also, because of their size, they usually have a lot of power coming in with their strikes.

Because of that, you need to be prepared and know what to do against a taller attacker. Having to experience and face a much taller and stronger opponent for the first time in a street fight is not a good idea.

A great way is to practice in advance and in a controlled area what it feels to be pushed and shoved by a much taller opponent. You can do a similar drill to the one that was shown in the video.

Your self-defense training should include attackers from various sizes.

If you are ever faced against a taller opponent, you want to try to defuse the situation as much as possible. Here are some verbal defense tactics that you can use against a taller attacker:
"I don't want to fight you"
"I apologize...Let's talk about it"
"I can give you some money"
"How much money do you want"
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again"

While defusing the fight, you need to be prepared to strike your attacker at all times. Here are some strikes that you can use against a taller guy:

• Headbutts - They are powerful strikes - Your forehead will more or less be aligned with the softer part of your attacker's facial area - Deliver a solid blow to the nose of your opponent.

• Eye gouge - Rip into your attacker's eyes and face - it's very effective!

• Solid Knees - If a clinch as occurred, throw in some solid knee strikes.

• Pre-emptive strikes - Against a much taller opponent, you need to strike first.

Make sure not to give him the chance to hit you first. You can't afford to take a punch against such a taller and bigger guy. It only takes one solid punch from such a bigger opponent to knockout someone smaller.

p.s. Remember to have your hands up at all times to cover your centerline.

We hope that you enjoyed the video.
