Self-Defense Tip Against a Bigger, Stronger Opponent

Defending yourself against a bigger, stronger opponent is a common concern in the martial arts. In fact, it might be the whole reason martial arts were developed in the first place!
In this video, Sifu Matt Ember shares a quick tip to help someone smaller and weaker be more effective when facing a larger attacker.

Martial artists always ask me about speed and strength, but no one ever asks about acceleration.
Too bad, because according to Sifu Matt, acceleration is the secret to making a technique work when you're smaller and weaker than your opponent.
What is acceleration?
Let's say your car can race along at 100 miles per hour. That's speed. But how long does it take to reach that speed? That time is your rate of acceleration.
In a fight, if someone is stronger than you and can adjust to your movement, they will resist and stop it. But if you can accelerate to a position before your opponent can resist, you will have a chance to complete your movement.
That's why acceleration is so important!
Acceleration is the key difference between a SNAP or a TAP. If your partner has time to tap, that means you decreased your acceleration. If you snapped the same technique, you would cause damage before your partner even knew what was happening.
If you practice Karate, the word "kime" may come to mind. If you practice Kung Fu, you may think of "fa jin". Either way, we're talking about a moment of total commitment. That's what adds SNAP to your techniques.
Of course, you still want to maximize your speed and strength, just don't forget that speed and strength are not enough! Whole body acceleration is a crucial factor when someone faces a bigger, stronger opponent.
So, how can you develop your acceleration? Here's a fun challenge for you...
The Beer Ring Challenge
1. Get some plastic rings from a six-pack of beer or soda.
2. Fold them over until you are left with just one ring.
3. Insert your fingers (two or three) to get a good double grip.
4. Take a breath and...
5. SNAP. Try to pull the rings apart.
Simple, right? But not easy!
Remember, the trick is acceleration, not strength. So, focus on exploding, not stretching.
Of course, the more important challenge is to apply this "trick" to your martial arts training. Focus on adding more SNAP to your workouts and let me know if that helps you handle a bigger, stronger opponent, too.

Some, especially in the military, call it "violence of action". It encapsulates speed (or acceleration), strength, surprise, and aggression into one concept that overwhelms an opponent. The idea, as similar here, is to overwhelm the opponent's ability to react quickly enough to defend your attack. The quicker (speed/acceleration) you attack, the stronger you attack, the more surprise you have, and the more aggressive you are, the more likely you're attack will be successful.

Although this comment is from long ago I am 5'2 as well Luckily I was born with a good reflex One time three kids in a park (Back when I was only 8-9) Started picking on me and my family It's very vague but I think I went up and started defending my family (Along with others) One kid started to attack He threw a jab directed at my face Out of pure reflex I blocked it with my right arm and through a left hook (Boy oh boy if only it was the right hook...) It caught me and everyone by surprise Later though that kid had a friend help him drag me across the field by my shirt My sister got pissed and scared them off And nearly knocked the guy out Another time my older cousin was doing that "friendly bullying" thing to me and taking my phone (just last year when I was 15) and he started pushing me So I pushed back a little It escalated and he pushed me to the ground When he was gonna do it again I quickly wrapped my right arm around his neck and brought him straight to the ground I felt bad after and helped him up because I sorta lost my temper sense I was talking to someone important He stopped picking on me after that I could say more but I think my point has been made clear *Until next communion*

F (force) = m (mass) * a (acceleration) Power = F * v (velocity) Learn physics to help your martial arts. Look up centripetal force (circular force). It why loops and circles create an easier lift. It's the difference between just pulling up a heavy dumb bell vs. spinning while doing it. Same is true when standing up. Which one is easier? Geometry is why your 45° angle is strong. Because of that multiples of 45 (such as 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°, 540°, etc.) are also strong angles. It provides a good structure

@kaiceecrane3884 6 жыл бұрын

Good technique is is applying good structure and good good physics. Martial arts is just applied physics in motion. Of course physiology and psychology play their own part as well, but that is a different discussion. Let's break down what is a jab. Using your lead hand you snap a punch forward in a straight direction. You rotate your hips, feet, lead shoulder, and counter rotate you back shoulder at the same time. You punch through your target, but the punch snaps back just as fast. Keep good structure you stand in a 45° angle and snap your punch in a straight line because it is the fastest way to travel and reach your target. When ever you do so, you keep a straight arm, carful not to hyper extend your elbow, so the force you generate from all your rotation (centripetal force), that starts from the ground up, travels in a straight line as much as possible. Being round makes the potential energy you generated travel slower and so you will lose power. You snap your hand out to achieve the fastest acceleration you can, and you bring it back just as fast to minimize the time you spent displacing your kinetic energy over your target. Using your knuckles you penitrate your target with a small surface area, which will distribute the force to your target faster. Why you hit with your whole body (as much mass as you can) in your punch is because it puts more mass into said punch, which is why a kick is going to be more powerful. Why a bigger guy can generate more force is because that guy can put more mass into their punch. But mass isn't everything, it's only part of the equation (f=m*a). Quick acceleration will also achieve more force. Good technique helps achieve that goal. Now that you have as much force as possible you can get good power (p=f*v). Another way to write the power equation is p=f*(displacement/time). Another reason as to not leave your hand out there and pull back quick

Well, Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F=m.a) and Kinetic Energy equals 1/2 mass multiplied by velocity by power of 2. (E = 1/2.m.v^2). That explains why acceleration is so important, and high speed (thanks to the acceleration) is important too. When you have low "mass" (because you are not big), you have to compensate with speed (velocity) and acceleration.

Nice video. You notice this when grappling. You need to get the jump on your opponent. You need to manipulate your oponents limbs with speed so that they are in a weak position and they cannot defend. You also need to surprise your opponent. Q: What's the punch that will knock you out? A: The one you don't see. Eg kimura from guard - if I see his left hand touch the floor I'll snap my right hand out like a cobra, grab his wrist and push his arm back and away from his body so it's hard to defend. He can't grab his clothing to defend and his arm is very weak in this position. While I'm doing this my left hand will come over his shoulder and grab my wrist then I'll concentrate on cutting a nice angle and biting down on his back with my right leg to prevent him escaping. From start to finish this move would take less than a second. What makes this work is DRILLING THOUSANDS of kimuras and getting in THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS of sparring. Drilling builds up muscle memory to execute the technique smoothly and efficiently and sparring teaches you how to set up your opponent, HOW TO SURPRISE your opponent then finish on a resisting opponent. Golden rule: you have to drill, you have to spar a fully resisting opponents, you need the element of surprise.

Dear Mr. Ando Mierzwa, I appreciate your journey over cvaarious martial arts while seeking the edge compared to the opponent. Let me tell you just one thing: Itś a Never ending story! Please don´t you forget: There will be always a pesrson either stronger, or faster or even smarter! Do not care, just keep to your way as thos stronger, faster or smarter do not necessaryily have their day when you meet him! I am too old to show how to do, but I can tell you what is not to do: Do not face force with force and play it safe as soon as possible, or even evade places where such events are most likely to happen. Best regards. Paul, 66, retired instructor of Goju- ryu Karate.

I love Andy and Company and other martial artists here on KZfaq who show you how to defend yourself right not attack someone but defend yourself against someone! I was doing some martial arts training before I had knee surgery which never went well and I have been offered to train in California with Paul Vunak A friend of mine who definitely knows something about martial arts! I learned a little before surgery some basics but I look forward to going to California to see my friend and training with him in whatever limited capacity I can do since I am now disabled! Because then I will be able to defend others as well if I see they're under attack!

Years ago, I had the chance to arm wrestle the Northern California arm wrestling champion, as he was visiting our Tracy dojo in the Midwest for a national karate tournament. We got ready and he asked "ready?" Yes, I replied. He had my arm down in a millisecond. His acceleration of power was amazing. It was exactly the point that your Sifu was making!

Why I always loved Gene Wilder. I knew this trick as a young martial artist when I was thirteen. It is about leverage and brains. This is what THE ARTS are all about. Sorry about the Gene Wilder joke. He is laughing now because he is still remembered for his ground breaking comedy and would love the reference. RIP Mr. Wilder.
