Most of it is pretty obvious but I'm going to break down a few self defense tactics because I think it's worth mentioning.\n\nBefore I get into that I want to make one thing clear, I'm not suggesting that a one-strike KO is common or likely. The fact is it's not but the little guy would have most likely won even without a KO here's why:\n\nFirst, little guys can take out bigger stronger attackers. The big guy in this video is a full head taller than the winner. By all logic and reason the big guy should have won the fight, and the truth is he probably would have won if he was ever given a chance. Fortunately, the little guy wisely took the initiative and hit first. The big guy never had a chance.\n
\"Self<\/div>\nThat brings me to the second point. Whenever possible you should strike first. You won't always get a lucky first strike knockout but taking the offensive in a self defense situation dramatically increases your chance of winning.\n\nThe little guy knew that, and even if he hadn't knocked the big guy out he would have probably followed up with repeated strikes at sensitive targets to keep the big guy off balance and distracted. That's how you win a fight against a person larger and stronger than you.\n\nThird, the little guy in this video maintained a confident posture. He didn't slump over or hang his head when confronted. He didn't want to fight the big guy, but never submitted.\n\nFourth, strike quickly. The winner of this fight didn't make a looping punch, he didn't try anything fancy either. It was a quick strike with his full body weight behind it. He didn't wind up or let on that a punch was coming. Looks like the big guy may have tried to block the punch with his right hand but wasn't quick enough.\n\nLet me know what you think about these self defense tactics.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
