      Can a Small Person Really Beat a Big Guy in a Fight<br>Let's say you are small, and you have to fight a giant behemoth in front of you ... Do you have a chance?Can you get the upper hand?I am a big guy -- I am of medium height, and I weigh over 270 lbs. My wife is not big -- under 62 inches, and weighs less than 120 lbs.She and I practice martial arts together all of the time. I have my heavy-guy tactics. And she has her preferred moves and strategies.Are you small? Would you like to know her strategies?1) She weights for me to execute large-motion attacks. In other words, she makes me come to her with a slower attack. Then she darts with quick motions.2) In general, she darts. She has practiced advancing and retreating without telegraphing. It makes her seem faster.3) She avoids a grappling situation with me. Any situation, where I rely on my weight is not good for her. Her darting keeps her at a distance.4) When my wife, Kate, comes into a closer range, she reaches up the center. Big guys have problems closing that line -- their elbows can't touch in front of their chest.If you are small, and can dart in and out, then aim for vulnerable areas with your strikes. If you come up through the center, don't hit Goliath on the chest -- go for the throat or the eyes.Note: I am assuming you only smash the throat, if it were a life or death situation. And even then, there could be legal ramifications. In a practice situation, make sure you are wearing the appropriate protective gear. (Neither the author nor anyone publishing this article takes any responsibility for any actions you take in a martial encounter.)If you have to to hit low, don't hit the leg, if there are 'vulnerables' close by.And if the hulk grabs at you, then you suddenly transform into a slippery eel, impossible to hold on to.Uh, become an eel, with a few extensions -- hit, kick, and jab the entire time you are slipping out of holds.Of course, it's not going to be as easy as a 300-word article. All of this will take practice. You'll have to employ several skills.For example, if the giant tries to elbow strike you from a close range ...I have a Free ebooklet for you that will give you a great way to counter almost any elbow strike attempted on you.And you'll learn a great spot for vulnerable hits. Not enough people know about this tender target.Learn to counter any elbow strike.
