What should you do to win a fight against a big guy?

Answer

The best thing to do is not fight at all! I know already that you feel cornered because if you refuse to fight then you'll be called various names and possibly bullied. Still, if you fight someone that is larger than yourself and you aren't use to fighting then you'll lose. Today you can't trust some guys that fight because many fight with weapons such as knives, hatchets or anything else they can get their hands on. It's not like the good old days of bare fists that end up with black eyes, missing teeth or a bloody nose or cut lip. Some fights end up in disaster! Never turn your back on your enemy!

If you have no choice and this person keeps following you around, pushing and shoving or manages to get you into a circle to fight and you can't get away these are some tips:

• Quickly look at his arm length! Then stay that distance away and circle around him. Try doing this (keep away from the crowd or they will push you back into the ring of fighting) and try to tire this guy out a little.
• When you get the chance pull his shirt or jacket over his head (if you can reach it) and then hammer with everything you have.
• Keep your head down fists in front of your face, eyes focused on his mid-section. Generally large guys are cumbersome and will flail their punches wildly because of their power.
• Sucker punching .... A sucker punch is to get up behind this guy and hit him where it hurts ... the kidneys or, kick his upper side of the thigh or knee. If you kick the side of his knee a good one he'll hit the ground like a ton of bricks no matter how big he is.
• If all else fails kick the guy in 'the family jewels!'
• If that doesn't work then lay on the ground in a fetal position and hope with all your might the guy will walk away.

Only do the above if you are cornered with no way out. Try to stay out of the fight if at all possible.

Remember one thing .... you won't be in school forever and you won't have to put up with bullying. School isn't forever and these bad times will fade away and people move on.

NOTE: To other posters this may not seem like good advice regarding fighting tactics, but bullying is out of control and sometimes students don't have a choice. Either one tells him how to fight and a few tricks of the trade or he could be half beaten to death. This is a big problem in the U.S. and Canada and is very serious.

There are two ways to deal with bully's Ignore them and more often then not they will find some one else to have a shot at. Or else as happened to me on a couple of occasions if they just wont leave you alone, just turn around and punch em in the mouth as hard as you possibly can. (Make sure you don't miss) Even if it leads to a fight and you get beaten the odds are that you wont get any more trouble because bully's do what they do for fun, and its no fun getting punched in the mouth. Don't expect the system to give you any more then lip service when it comes to bullying.
