How To Fight Taller Guys For Self Defense

When a taller guy comes and wants to hurt you, how are you going to defend yourself?

A taller guy has some advantages in a fight. For example, a taller guy can punch you and hit you, but if you punch him in the same distance, your punch will not reach him. You raise your hands and you cannot even reach to his face. That's a nightmare! ;)

Always try to avoid the situation so that you do not have to fight. You can talk and stop it right there. Everything does not necessarily end up with a fight. Unfortunately, sometimes whatever you try to do to avoid that, it does not work. So you have to face the taller guy.

If you do not want to attack the guy, you can keep the distance so that he cannot reach you easily. If he moves forward, you have to defend that, and step in to strike. It is because his hand can reach you from a little long-distance than you are. If you counter-attack from there, you cannot hit him.

You do not need to strike on his face. If you try to do that, you have to raise your hands up and it will expose you more. Instead, you can hit the solar plexus. If you like, you can headbutt him. Using elbow strike can be effective as well. You can read my post about Basic Elbow Strike In Self Defense.

You can kick a taller guy's legs. It can be very effective. You have to be good at footwork. At the moment of attack, you have to get in, and at the same time, you have to step back and make the distance.
