Better advice: Get a friend like Moose and don't go anywhere without him.

I love that you train with bigger guys. I have a hard time watching "self defense" material where the aggressor is so much smaller than the Instructor. Thanks for Keeping it real Nick.

Dang! That Moose is humongous! Look at the size and length of his arms! Lives up to his name! Nice tips and moves dude! You the MAN!

Man God help you if you get grabbed by a guy like that.

The toughest kid in my high school was maybe 6-4 and 260 at least. No one messed with him. The good thing was, he didn't like to fight unless he had to and even better, he didn't like seeing others bullied. One day, I was sitting in the locker room and this 210 pound kid with a fork wrapped around his hand was threatening kids. This guy happened to be in the locked room. He went up to that kid picked him up by his shirt and slammed him into the lockers and said, "Cut that out!" Well he did, lol This guy went on to wrestle HW in the Olympics and play offensive tackle in the NFL!

Distance is key for shit like that.. always keep your hands up and look for opportunities to control the person..

Yes, pattern interrupt... that's NLP techniques. I studied NLP, and I never thought about using it in a fight... thanks for this video!

I love these videos! Please show more full body so we can get a whole view of foot work and stances

You could also use your footwork to get onto the grass and not get trapped into the corners especially against a much larger attacker. Also if you do get knocked out it's far more dangerous if your head slams onto the concrete, I've seen it too many times. I'm loving your real life self defence and scenarios. Thank you Nick and Jimmy.

Good to know thank you

Wicked tips as always.

Great explanation,keeping it real.Your the only one I seen use a really big guy for teaching.

Great video I appreciate your channel , I’m 62 female and have quick foot work but keeping the hands in front is crucial part of defense if I’m able to get outa the corner I can run and I’ll do it ,

A guy that size is when you take out the dirty self defense tatics there is no fair fight when you fight someone twice your size go to the legs, neck groin , throat, solar plexus, temple you mentioned the eyes very good best thing to do is try to defuse and get away from the situation or neutralize the target as fast as possible open palm strikes ,hammer fists etc work well to minimize damage on the fists

Nice Video. Nick Drossos. 👍😎

No need to run away if u have the strength and the determination of Mike tyson

I was caught under a 120kg black belt for 12 minutes before he finally armbarred me at training yesterday. Fun

damn this is the best Channel

I saw another video where they recommended to evade strikes like a boxer when dealing with a heavier opponent. Avoiding those strikes puts less pounding on your body. I also wouldn't rule out using the clinch like is taught in BJJ. That reduces the punching power of your attacker.

i have seen a guy like 10 years ago in a night club, which was like 2,20m, and had a body frame like jaggernaut. even shaquille o'neal would look skinny compared to that guy. he wasnt even fat, just that massiv bone structure etc. nobody would stop that guy. it was just unreal to see a guy like this, when i was turning my head to the side when he stood there right next to me. and then there are people like me, with 1,76m and like 65kg xD

Bear spray and steel toes work wonders

That was a GREAT video Mr. Drossos. You should pressure test Moose coming at you with full force. I would love to see that.

Great!!!

I think big guys being stronger is very situational. I’m certainly not a big guy (5’11” and 103kg, decently lean) but definitely bigger than average as been in weights gyms since 17 (25 now). I’ve also don’t karate and boxing training for a number of years through my teams and early 20s. I could grapple with Moose at least for a few minutes and hold my own, and I’d be surprised if he could out-power me. If I wasn’t an experienced lifter right now then I’d totally say Moose would have a power advantage so smaller dudes would definitely find it difficult on this situation. Obviously you don’t need to be a body builder, but functional muscle mass is extremely helpful. For me, I feel wrestling with these bigger guys is more of a drain on your gas tank as opposed to not being able to take them on head to head. They simply carry more weight and are more acclimatised to how it feels, where you are not (even if you’re a stronger dude). It’s less about strength and power and more about them just being used to that sort of weight. Moving around and tiring them out is the best way to gain an advantage - and a well placed kick to the bollocks can help a lot too!

5:05 Beta male behavior from him just when U saw at the camera Nick. He should be grateful cuz ur doing a lot building his confidence. EXCELENT lesson as always! Thank You!

Would the long guard work against a bigger attacker?

There's an old saying, "The best defense is a good offense." The longer you rely on parrying and blocking the incoming punches, the longer the attacker has to finally land that one shot that stuns you. Why? Because nothing is coming his way to discourage him. This is the street, not some sport tournament. Punch, kick, EYE GOUGE and do whatever it takes to give pain to the attacker and discourage him from continuing. Hit him where it hurts - a knuckle or finger in the eye, a kick to the groin... Do it hard, do it fast and do it until he leaves you alone.

May we see a live demonstration pls?

Yeah

The best thing in a such situation is to curse the opponent and run fast

Good

That guy is a monster, in a good way. If I was his size I would take out a whole room, just one time for bragging rights . Came here by accident via bong load... Nice video.

Awesome fundamentals! You're bad Nick!

Orrrrrr... Run. Run from the Mooseeee! 😳🤓🤠

"He is not letting me go" behind a massive yard that you can run.

Lol yeah it's scary. I had a friend at school his Size he missed a hook and took the corner off the brick wall 😳. The funny thing is he didn't look like he swung hard or fast 😁

avoid a match fight. pre emptive strike is key

MOOSE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

2:17 there is the open space to just run away xD

Hey ,Nick you give great info, i bought one of your old courses before, it was like over 10 videos, don't remember the name, but it was a couple yrs ago. My question is, What do you think about Tony Blauer's Spear System, Mindset, Fear management, gross motor skills vs complex?, which complex skills go out the door in a fight in favor of gross motor skills. Also, all fights are all verbal before they get physical, and the use of the flinch reflex(gross motor skill)survival mechanism. Which is why hands are up always, hands open(passive stance), not closed fists.

Would like to see workout for strengthening the body for self defense purpose. For example, I assume strengthening the neck is crucial.

You in real survival mode vs that guy

Would you suggest to go preemptive especially if he's bigger? Crack his throat. Also it's important to get in close he has the range

can you make some videos about defending from dogs ? because her in US and Canada we see alot of dog attacks

He’s gotta be 7 foot. He towers over you man.

When larger people throw, they also tend to come in with their punches and grapple. Likely chances of defending like this are very low. Only way to win is speed, and getting in first, or flight.

Eyes, throat, groin.

This lesson was supposed to be about wild punches from a larger wild man and not against a trained larger fighter using a boxing guard! Statistical probability in high percentages indicate your assailant will not use a guard of any kind. His punches will be around three times more powerful than conventional boxing punches because, he will begin with his arms dangling naturally to the sides of his torso with clinched fist just below his hips, then raising the arm upward keeping it straight traveling near to the center-line of the opponent's face / head area as the final target zone. The front of the hand's knuckles is the striking surface. There is no cock ,then extending the arm punching and re-cock from a boxing guard but, a straight scooping motion This type of punch is called a guard-less jab or guard-less straight punch and the momentum gain of the arm travel route distance is why he will have three times the p.s.i . force on his opponent;s head target. Test it on a heavy bag and feel the power! The variation of this type of larger wild man's punch that is far more common, is the guard-less haymaker making a side-ward ,wide, circular, swinging travel route pattern with his arms ending striking the sides of the opponent;'s head target area, The striking surface of his fist will be the the inside edge of the fist.These two types of punches described are performed by untrained thugs instinctively, generally in right and left combination..

Trick_1 to counter big fighter like Moose is drop to ground then use up-kicks. Trick_2 offer him free pizza and beer or soda.

Just spar and see how it ends

Great defense if someone punches your arms.

I think Moose's arms weigh as much as my heavy bag.

Dominic Cruz footwork then run like Barry Sanders

Not that there aren’t plenty of men bigger than me but I’m a big lad and i worry about getting attacked by a small and faster guy

Similar to Bruce Lee's"Break the Rythem" Method.

Damn!!! How tall is he? He has to be at least 7 foot.

What about a groin kick?

Like Bruce Lee says... expand & contract.

How can u spar if you have no partner? To spar with?? Please help

My best self defense is that I'm a fast runner. I'm sure a guy as big as mongoose ain't catching up with my skinny ass if I start running 😂.

Lol. I grew up with a guy named moose. Thank good he went to the same church as us or we were over when the bullies called in their back up ! Love the channel!!!!!

I’m built like Mosse and now I see what technique y’all gonna use against someone of my size 😈

MOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!

He would beat moose up

he tire you out and then you will be vulnerable

Get big,Andi Ruiz style.

Should be titled: How to talk your way out of a haymaker

just run ..

DO ANYTHING TO DEFEND YOURSELF... ANYTHING BUT NOT SURRENDER!!

Those aren't wild punches to me wild punches are the dudes that go crazy swinging with haymakers crazy fast. I got into a fight with a dude like that before and I didn't even have to time to react because he would swing them really fast.

Yes, biting, clawing, we need to keep one or two finger nails a bit longer, once the claw connects on the eyes it causes injury and pain enough to make bigger attacker back off, of course that's never easy. Biting is good too, that's a natural weapon, Mike Tyson proved biting is effective.

Or..... 💥🔫

Did some passerby see this? lol

It sounds stupid but I've gotten better at throwing two punches at once. It's all in your poise

When all else fails bite the nipple!

Leaving arms for him to grab right? Best to stay away or run from a larger aggressor. Hmmm, bad advise brother !! If I was to punch a big guy I would punch him in the wind pipe or the bread basket or solar plexus to take his wind away and run away right>?

Call in artillery or a drone strike. Just kidding. Great vid . Stun and gtfo.

Bad guys really can't win when gods with us . lol .

I want to be big damnit

I run better than I can fight. I’d run instead of fight against a guy like moose.

its more like slo-mo punches

Not a chance.

You are making lots of mistakes. You can keep blocking him forever. You have to go into a tall person. The taller person will start bear hugging you and lifting you up to throw you. Still you have to go in where his long arms wont be able to strike you or his legs kick you. You just have to go in. You can't play keep away forever.

Can we see a sparring match with you and him he is holding back sorry if that's a asshole question but he is holding back

poor defence all hooks would go trough

Just run besides he's big he can't run that fast

get your cardio up bruh

The big guy is not really doing anything

You sound like you need to work on your cardio, Nick. 👍

run, because bigger guy can't run fast

Not convinced!!! With your tricks. Better use your footwork to Run,🏃stab, 🔪 or shoot 🔫Moose!! Lol
