How when the short man meet with the tall man?

Question

What should the short man do when meet with the tall man in the ring of fighting? With the different Martial Art Style!

Answer 1

The answer is the same as the joke about how a short guy can get it on with a taller woman... height doesn't matter when you're both lying on the ground : P

Answer 2

In stand up fighting the taller man because of his reach has an advantage. Many times he also has the advantage of power since he is bigger but that is not always the case. A shorter person should give him a lot of motion, fakes, and feints and close the distance at key times and try to nullify the taller mans reach advantage. It also forces him to shorten his punches, strikes, and kicks and not get full extension and full power into them and allows the smaller fighter to smother them. The use of angles is also very important in accomplishing this so that you are not always moving in on or back out in a straight line. This makes it harder for the taller fighter to just pick away at you while you are moving in on him and also helps keep him from hitting you flush or solidly. Once inside the smaller fighter needs to make the taller one pay double for anything he got caught or hit with when he was on the outside or trying to move in. The taller fighter also presents a longer, larger, torso for multiple body shot combinations for the smaller fighter to capitalize on once inside.

With respect to ground fighting the taller fighter will have more vulnerability; his limbs are longer and may present more opportunity for a submission hold to be applied-especially if he is a sloppy type grappler. His maneuverability with respect to certain techniques will be somewhat more difficult since he has to have more clearance to maneuver, apply holds, chokes, and submissions, as well as execute counters and escapes. His reach becomes less of an advantage and can actually become a vulnerability depending on how good each of the fighter's ground skills are.

Answer 3

Depends on the art.

In most general terms, the shorter man (by virtue of having shorter reach) has to fight on the inside.

In striking that means being aggressive and taking it to the body.

In a ground game that means being aggressive and shooting for the open leg/arm/foot/hand.

It's much more difficult for the shorter reach to be a counter puncher, because they have to wait til their opponent to come into their range (and they are already in their opponents range).

In short (no pun intended) be aggressive, dictate the fight (when and where it happens), and fight on the inside.

Answer 4

get inside, tie him up and use short punches, stay vertical, if you leave room he will dominate with knee strikes. if you are good on the ground take it there, because most of his advantage is lost here, he will still have an easier time holding guard and using moves such as the triangle choke and rubber guard or gogoplata, but he will be much more vulnerable to a number of moves

Answer 5

c'mon guys, this is easy.

Take the fight to the ground. Length is a detriment on the ground. lol@all the technique advice.

btw, distance versus a large fighter (as in closing distance) is great for boxing, and terrible in a street fight. Being inside still allows him to use gravity, and the leverage of his height to do great damage. Never fight an opponent on his feet unless he is trained/and or clearly stronger and morecompact than yourself.

Answer 6

Close the distance to not only negate long attacks (jabs, knee kicks) but to tie him up as much as possible. Watch early Mike Tyson matches.
