Good fighting strategy?

Question

A friend of mine is on the wrestling team. He likes to throw wrestling holds on me and challenge me to get out of them. But I'm kind of skinny and don't know how to wrestle so I always lose this contest. Him and his other friends always horse around like this, so i don't want to seem like a wimp or a crybaby.
He's tall and wide and has muscles, but he drinks a lot of beer and eats like a pig, so he's got a pretty good "spare tire" at his midsection.
I've learned some taekwondo techniques and next time he tries to wrestle me, I want to surprise him with a punch in the stomach and maybe a good swift kick in the butt. He's a good guy most of the time, so I don't want to really hurt him, just cut him down to size a little.

Answer 1

When he comes for you dropkick his ankle area to trip him up then when he's down kick him in the ribs (not to hard) and just say you'll do worse if he tries it again.

Answer 2

Gotta partially agree with above. Lotsa guys have pretty solid beer bellies, so the surprise might be on you when you hit him and he just laughs and twists your head harder. And if you punch or kick him, he may get the idea it's OK to punch or kick you. From what you say about the size and strength differential, this is something you don't want He sounds like the kind of "heavy" fighter who depends a lot on his weight and power to crush what's in his way, so you're better off concentrating on toppling him off balance. As a wrestler, he should know to keep his center of gravity low, but if he thinks you're a pushover, he might get sloppy, then you can introduce Porky to the floor. After that you should keep control of his legs and pile him up so he can't stand. And stay away from his arms. You shouldn't kick someone in the ribs unless you know exactly how to do it without breaking something.
Try to use judo or other styles that are like wrestling but neutralize his size advantage. Then you'll have beaten him at his own sport, and it's pretty humbling to get beaten by someone smaller. I wouldn't best him in front of his teammates, or his girlfriend, etc., then he won't think he has to save face by totally clobbering you. Tell him his herculean strength was invincible so you had to resort to drastic measures. That'll flatter his ego and keep things from escalating and let him know he should find a sparring partner his own size.

Answer 3

Just remember, when u go 2 unload on him, you wanna pop him at the top of his gut, right under the ribs, in the solar plexus (not down by his belly button, even though that seems like the most vulnerable place). and u wanna punch upwards, so it forces all the air out of his lungs. he won't be able 2 breathe for at least 10 seconds, which is a long time in a fight, in which you can knock a little sense into the big lug before he recovers. Good luck!

Answer 4

I don't know much about fighting, but it sounds to me like this guy could be stopped in his tracks with a six-pack and an extra large pepperoni-sausage-meatball pizza. When he's stuffed to the gills and woozy, ask him if he still wants to wrestle. Chances are he won't.
But if he does--beer can make people belligerent--do not, I repeat DO NOT go forward with your plan to slug him in the stomach. He might hurl all over you and that's worse than any full nelson or double arm bar.

Answer 5

Tell Chunky you have a contest of strength you don't think he can pass: Stand facing him and hold up your hand flat, palm down between you. Make sure it's under his chin. Tell him to make a fist and put it under your palm and when you say go to try and move your hand. Guys like this always respond with maximum power, so as soon as you feel it, remove your hand and Big Boy will clock himself right on the button. Then run. Or try more shots. good luck.

Answer 6

First of all, Tae Kwon Do is the worst form of martial arts in the world. Try somethign else. When your friend comes at you with his arms, duck quickly, then rise back to a standing position with your arm around the front of his chest, and his right arm should be around your right shoulder, then put your right leg behind his right leg then lower him down, it will throw him off.

Answer 7

Once after a really hard practice at the beginning of wrestling season, I was really sore and stiff, barely able to move. A friend of mine who was about half my size came up and said "Ready...wrestle!" then he took me down and pinned me and I couldn't do anything about it. Of course, I got him back later.
So you could wait till your buddy's really sore and then give him a taste of his own medicine.

Answer 8
