How to Overcome Larger, Stronger People, Regardless of Your Size and Strength
Body Mechanics in Striking
Body Mechanics play an important role in getting the most out of your strikes. There are 2 basic types of strike:
1 - Distracting strikes that carry the perception of speed
2 - Power Strikes
Some methods of making your strikes more effective are:
#1 - Strikes appear fast and are much more likely to land when you use the closest tool to the closest target as an initial strike. An open hand that is 6 inches away from the attackers face will reach a target on the face far quicker than say an attempted round kick to the head. Even if the blow is not particularly hard, it can target sensitive areas such as the eyes for great effect. As it only has a very short distance to travel, it is very unlikely that the attacker could stop such a blow before it lands. Action is quicker than reaction
#2 - Power strikes should carry body weight. If it's a strike with the fist, open hands or elbows, rotating the hips, waist and shoulders. Your Power kicks should also use power generated through your hips.
#3 - Aiming about 6 inches through the target will make your strike more effective.
#4 - Aiming for weak or senstive areas increases the effect of the strike.
#5 - Striking from an unlikely position such as a submissive stance can catch the attacker off guard. Unexpected strikes carry more weight.
