Fighting larger opponents

what are the best pressure points to use in a street fight situation?

In my opinion, I believe you have to put your mindset in the offensive. You are already at a disadvantage against someone larger than you and defending yourself will never work. I will share a real experience I had in school. One kid hit me in the throat and I was literally choked up for half hour. From experience, believe me, it works. I believe you may also strike him in the side of the neck with a hammerfist (stun) or stomp his feet with your heel.

All right heres how it is just because the guy is bigger and stronger doesent mean he has the advantage because your smaller and faster and if you get more aggressive your problems will be solved see im not much of a martial artist because i dont live anyaere near a place to learn it but let me tell you iv been in enough street fights to no that if your aggressive and go right at him like crazy there is no way you can loose so loose the fear and get psyco!

Angry fighting only works against other angry fighters. Anger vs skill is another story in which skill wins.

If you are untrained and let loose against a trained fighter it will be a short encounter. The punch of a trained fighter is roughly 2x the speed and 4x the power of a pedestrian. Also the counter strikes and kicks would be devastating.

ive been reading some of these comments and all i needed to know for my up coming fight, is how to turn my opponents weight against him i do know he will use this as a weapon amungst my own strength itll just wear me down and make me burn my own stamina most would say go for his legs hes round but smart. I thk besides relying on taken the bigger opponent out by his legs is lock up with them in a clinch lett them get comfortable and then put them on there ass. or just do some dirty boxing roughem up with some elbows and knees

At my kickboxing class I spar with a taller and stronger opponent.It is simply a case of power and strength vs agility, i've only been doing kickboxing for about 4 months however so when i'm blocking these powerful strikes i'm finding it tricky to find the time to strike back effectively, could anyone please give me any tips on how to overcome this, or the best way in which to set him up to get in on the inside, thankyou all.

if i werre u i would use leg kicks to set up ur power punches.fake some shots and come in with some thing else.
