Fighting a Stronger Opponent

By nature, an opponent will rarely be both extremely strong or extremely quick. Assess which characteristic is predominant in your opponent. If he relies primarily on his strength, counter him with speed and smarts. Avoid his full power attacks by evasion, deflection and intelligence. Frustrate his attack by striking in sudden unexpected ways to soft, weak targets like the eyes, groin, or throat. Make him doubt the effectiveness of his power by avoiding his blows and hurting him with quick, sharp strikes. When he is surprised or confused, use
your best attack and commit to finishing the fight immediately.

Key points against a stronger opponent:
1. Use speed and smarts to avoid power blows
2. Frustrate with sharp, surprise attacks
