yeah, woodbridge is our own little hamlet of jersey shore.
Is it really possible that an entire demographic is that messed?
Apparently, it is… 
I’ ve always been a fan of fighting dirty.
if you can throw somethign at him then hit him.
poke them in the eye, kick in the nutzsac use anythign lying around like a stick, brick, throw sand in thier face if your at the beach, use the environment and the weapons it gives you.
if anyone poke out one of my eyes im gonna dedicate my life looking for them, its not a good idea

Not ‘theoretically’ but what works practically?

I typically carry a Glock 22 or a Kimber Ultra Carry. Otherwise I am 42yrs old with bad knees. There is no way I am going in the ring with those guys.
practice against the big MoFos.
I’m the smallest guy in both my BJJ and Judo clubs (5’9" 150 lbs). The next smallest dude is 180 lbs. My favorite guy to test my stuff against is 280 lbs, and he’s good. I lose a lot, but I don’t fear anybody because of size.
My first Judo tournament, I was a green belt. There was a black belt. He was in the men’s senior division, probably was 40, weighed about 280. He was mostly fat. There were only brown belts close to his weight. No one would compete against him because of his belt. If that happened today. I’d shiai against him even though he outweighs me by 130lbs. If a person dares to compete, then someone should be willing to compete against him… cowards - all of them.
I have my S&W 1911 in 45 acp for any and all looking for fights outside of the training hall.
[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1060026]run behind him.[/QUOTE]
ok. Now it works for me.
i agree with sanjuro, if he knows how to fight and has everything physicall on top of you, you are pretty much screwed. unless you have a weapon or means of escape or an upperhand in some way.
for me, as a striker, in any defense situation the knees are always a prime target.
but im also really fast, i know as long as i have an avenue of escape i can outrun most people. especially really big really heavy people.
but if i cant escape and its do or die the first place i go is diplomacy. I dont go around starting ****, so if im in it, i didnt start it i may be able to cool it down with my best weapon. my brain.
that failing try and make your opponent underestimate you and over extend his confidence. , knees, weapons, power, distance, speed, timing and luck. when its time unleash your tiger and fight tooth and nail until you go down or take him down or it breaks up.

What happens if that fight happens in a federal building, school, concert, any other place where carry is not legal/feasible, or the attacker is determined, carrying a blade and within 25 feet?
Guns are amazing tools, but they are still tools. Just because one has a nice hammer does not make every problem a nail.
Knives are not so easy to deal with, you are going to cut, and I have been cut and stabbed over the years.
Take the knife away and down him as quickly as you can.
Or if I have the ability to get out of there, then get out of there and call 911 and explain what is happening.
Tools are great and you should learn to play with as many as you can as you never know what tool will come in handy.
Empty handed defense is not really the way to go if you can drop them with a gun, a club, a stun gun, mace/pepper spray, knives, etc…
Why fight someone when you can remove them from the situation as early as possible and survive rather than risk being injured or killed by some tool?

This- if it’s on the street. I guess I don’t understand the original intent of the thread… is this about being in a kwoon, competition, or bully defense?
this is how to beat a bigger, stronger opponent.

patience- make them fight your fight- know your strengths and play to them- never fight them head on- keep out of range if possible- don’t let them corner you-

That’s your best bet. get out of there. Anyone with even a one day’s seminar in Kali, you will not be able to take the knife away. You will be a tic-tac-toe game.
Never underestimate a blade.
That being said, the blade is your best bet. I don’t need strength or power to cut you deep.
Then again, if you had the ability to get out of there, then you should have done that to begin with.
There is no reason to fight if you can get away.
Period.
Its hard, it hurts, you are disadvantaged..
Lots of similar thinking about moving to stay safe and capitalising on your opponent’s self perception of advantage to get them to make a mistake and give you an opening.
And against most bigger guys, you most likely will have a run-away advantage…
Moving laterally, taking knees, weak points, using big guns, using real guns, knives, ad hoc weapons…
The takedown comment by Sanjuro made me think, it certainly does take away reach, but the strength… Its one of those 'pay your money, take your chances" kind things, I’d prefer him down, me knee riding or otherwise vacating the area…
Hit first and hard :D:D A perennial favorite.
I learned one thing, that big guys feel pain too. Because of size you sometimes think they are more invulnerable. They are, but only a wee bit…
@Dale - You are our resident behemoth, what gives you trouble?
@ Eric, how bigg’a boy are ya?
Didn’t Akibono (sp? the Sumo champ) fight a Gracie and lose?
