Learn How to Fight a Bigger Guy:

This is the biggest fear most people have, facing a larger attacker. Size will always be important...It plays a huge role in a fight. There's a lot of energy coming from a larger attacker so you need to be prepared and know how to defend yourself effectively.

If ever you are faced with a larger attacker, a great way to survive is to strike first! If you don't get the opportunity to do so, you will be at a disadvantage. You can't afford to wait for your opponent to make a move and then wait for a chance to strike back at him, because just with the energy and force behind his attacks, you'll be lucky if you'll be able to defend yourself against him.

With that said, if you're faced with a larger attacker, you must start and finish the fight, by striking quickly. In a lot of cases, larger attackers have a tendency of lowering their heads towards you and talking down at you. This gives you the perfect opportunity to head butt your opponent.

Whatever you do, you should never try to wrestle with an attacker who is bigger than you because you will waste so much energy and most likely won't accomplish anything due to your opponent being much larger than you, hence having more strength than you.

You can't wrestle, you need to strike first whether it's with your head, your palms, your elbows, etc. They need to be big blows, and most importantly they should be performed as quickly as possible.

One last thing to keep in mind, as long as your attacker is standing up high, this places you in a vulnerable position. You need to bring him down to your level to finish him off and strike him first. As long as he is up, it's more difficult to perform a solid strike. Bringing him down can lead to you having more of an advantage.

That guy should be an actor he's great

[SantisValiant]

I was not expecting Rock to be that scary. I thought he was going to be very a very proper type presenter, but nah, he brought this into the real world. Great job Rock!

[whatlifesabout]

Finally a instructor who teaches and realizes real life scenarios and doesn’t live in fantasy land

[ysmith]

Damn good actor, I actually felt an adrenaline rush just watching from the safety of my home. 😀

[LesFameusesVideos]

Simple really : say "break!" when you want him to stop.

[ThePianisty]

"Hit first" is more useful than 90% of the martial arts advices that you will ever receive. Nick is the man,
Keep up the good work.

[KentPetersonmoney]

one problem hitting frist, the other guy can always tell the police you hit him first.

You know the majority of these views are coming from children that are having some kind of confrontation with their peers.

[hrfn]

”Go ahead rock” man goes full attack mode on the guy

[daywalker]

"those who fight and run away live to fight another day!"

[NoneofYourbusiness-fqdh]

Rock deserves an Oscar. He has mad acting skills.

[IINokNok]

Rock Was Just Staring At Him Afterwards 😂😭😂

[jakcd]

The acting was amazing! That guy Rock. That was real.

[scottcody]

Very good advice. I would also say that when fighting someone much heavier than yourself never let them get you on the ground. If that happens they can use their weight to pin you down and continue beating you. Stay on your feet, punch and back away to avoid grappling and wrestling.

[shane]

It’s a lot easier when the guy looks closer to giving a bro hug after a touchdown instead of attacking.😂

[hadesfades]

Dude that stuff Rock said was on another level, he was really wanting to fight that day


Edit: “Camerman: Hey… that’s not in the script”

[UNclear-sviq]

-Buy a firearm
-Get a black hoodie
-Play pumped up kicks on high volume

[housebrigade]

tickling them on the armpits could work too. the attacker could change from the aggressor to the giggler n will be telling you to stop
