Self Defense against a 6’4″ Attacker

Subscribe ► https://www.codereddefense.com/newsletter One of the most common ways most people fight is with the one arm lapel grab, which basically just means someone coming, grabbing you by the shirt, and punching you nonstop. Another unorthodox way is an attacker coming at you throwing wild punches randomly, with a lot of force behind them. Both manners are unexpected and happen quickly, you don’t know what your attacker could be thinking or how he will react. You should be aware of everything and anything, in this case. You should expect the unexpected in this type of situation. Question whether your attacker has backup, or if he is carrying a weapon. You have to assume the worst. For the one arm lapel, seeing as your attacker is much larger than you, he has the upper hand in strength. When he grabs you by your shirt, you need to be aware that the arm that is there might strike you when you least expect it. So, it is best to trap it there, just to be safe. Having blocked the arm that has grabbed you, you need to see if you can find an opportunity to block his strikes that are coming from his other hand. Strength plays a big role here. If you try to out-muscle such a larger and bigger opponent, you might end up on the ground, with him towering over you. You want to avoid this. Instead, your goal should be to trap his arms and hands before your attacker starts to strike you. Bringing his arm down and using all your force to keep him there could help you survive the situation. In self-defense, size does matter, along with speed and range. However, just because you are smaller than your attacker does not mean you should let him have the upper hand and injure you to the point of death! Being smart, and applying intelligent techniques and movement can help you survive the outcome.

SuperGaming Pro says:

rubbish. Dont tuck your head in. If they hit you in the side of the head then you will die, if your lucky only knocked out. Push up on his elbow that he grabbed with then you will gain control.

Mike Fu says:

BAD IDEA to grapple with a larger guy……if the big guy slips his foot behind yours, you both Fall and HE WILL land on top….it's over because he's got Weight and Gravity.  Instead, use Speed as your advantage, just take him Head On in a Fist Fight….you are faster, so let him waste his energy and tire out, Then go for Head shots. Watch for Corners, DONT get backed in. If you must grapple, make sure you're experienced, and go straight for a Rear Choke.

Universal Kombat says:

My brother is 6'3, I'm 5'10, we both do Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo, etc. I've been doing it for longer so regardless of his height and reach advantage I always get the better of our sparring. Best self defense in a h2h fight against a bigger attacker? Is be a better fighter than him, that simple. Go train a striking and grappling art, and you're set.

shfaradi jew says:

chitte harsha says:

Valdi mai says:

why you never say anything about legs to make sure your opponent will not bring yopu down and to keep good balance. Refer to karate rules

Kent Peterson says:

Hey can't you just go to his outside and tarp the arm that's garbing you?

NatoRawk says:

Would 4:35 open him up to head butt attacker in the nose as well?

MrKingofsa says:

Dude come to the UK and I will show you some ninjutsu moves that are a 1000 times better than this and how to "end a fight in seconds"

Joe Guzman says:

If you go on your strength you are fucking yourself. Stop peddling this horrendous shit technique

Johnny B says:

If the Defender rotated his body to the left, using the attacker's point of contact as a pivot point and shifted his weight to the left as well using a short step leftward, the attacker would have his arm swept across his body and possibly rotating him making it difficult to strike anything. I would leave both of my arms free to block or strike as needed.

This can be easily done and can be done quickly and in the very least make it difficult for the attacker to hit you.

I'm 6'5" and 250 lbs and even the smallest of my students was able to do this successfully and often add a strike to my kidney area.

Remember the 'KISS' Principle. "KISS" . . .Keep It Simple Stupid!

David Thompson says:

A kick in the balls will do

Guess Who says:
