Fighting a Taller Opponent

Sooner or later we will all come up against someone who is taller or
bigger than us.
This shouldn't worry you too much.
All this means is that they have a longer reach with their arms and legs,
so you have to adjust to allow for it.
In Kung Fu San Soo we use what we call "your safe distance".
This is determined by the length of the opponents leg, plus a few inchs,
so you stay just out of kicking range.
With practice you can eyeball this distance and keep yourself at a safe
distance from anyone.
So it doesn't matter how tall the other person is.
The way to neutralize someones reach advantage over you is to stay out of
reach or get so close they can't use it against you.
Don't stay in their punching or kicking range or power zone.
What keeps you safe here is movement.
Personally I perfer to move to the side, go under their punches , move inside or
outside their kicks even get behind them.
What you do just depends on your style or training.
But i disagree with the take a few to give a few idea.
Hurts too much !!
As far as striking someone taller you punch or kick were you can reach ,to the body.
This in turn brings the higher targets down to you.
Kick them in the groin and when they bend over punch them in the face or chop them
on the back of the neck.
Buckle their legs and kick them in the solar plexus, get the idea?
Don't try to reach a target by stretching yourself out , this will get you knocked out!

So how do you fight some one taller than you ?
You stay moving, get close, jam them up, go to the side, get behind,
keep those punches and kicks going to vital areas.
Stay focused.
And practice using your skills in this way.
