Bara needs to learn how to fight better. All done!

You're a girl, who generally has better leg strength than a guy.

A guy generally has better arm strength, so fists usually work better in a male's case.

in that case, you could:
palmstrike him in the chest
spearhand him in the gut
knifehand or backfist him in the neck

or just figure out the main pressure points on people, knock him down, and knock him out. I was never taught pressure points :c

that's overlooking a lot of things. a kick in the nuts will take down any guy, and you don't have to have strong legs at all to do that. not to mention that he's not fighting a girl, he's fighting a guy, so the difference between the leg strengths of male and females makes no difference.

What are you fighting about?

Is this a competition thing or some sort of dispute?

[Visage]

If someone charges at you dodging them is always the easiest and safest idea. Anything else is a risk vs reward deal, You could go for a knee and hope they jump tackle you and get kneed right in the face, but then they could go for a kick and they'd kick your knee and forget you up. A punch is the highest risk with smallest reward so that shouldn't be an option. If you watch a lot of UFC it's generally always a knee or a dodge when someone is charging. And by charging in UFC I mean when they lean too hard into a punch or something and are off-balanced so that they are going forward, as most UFC fighters aren't dumb enough to charge.

you would definitely want to crouch down into a defensive stance similar to a wrestlers, but not too low. I would hold out my elbows and place one foot in front of the other in a fighting stance with your elbows ready to stop any punches. leg-wise, forget your legs. they don't really need protection. just have 1 arm in front of your face, the other lower down.

leg-wise, forget your legs. they don't really need protection.

Unless they kick your knees from the front, which can be really bad depending on how hard they kicked, or from the back, which'll knock you down.
That is, if you were standing up.

they would probably be too busy raging to target your leg/knees specifically, they would just want to aim for the biggest targets, your head-torso.

When throwing a punch, do not close your fist and then push forward with your strength.

Close your fist just before landing the blow.  It's more risky and opens you for a quick counter if you're not fast enough but if you do it right it will make them hurt more.

True, unless they have some decent fighting experience. But I think OP said that the kid doesn't have much experience, so the kid'll probably just be all hit the biggest targets, like you said.

Also, whatever you do, don't tuck your thumb inside your fingers, but keep it back so that it won't get jammed. If you tuck it in, there's a chance that you'll break your thumb. It's also best to hit with the base of your fingers, not the joint but with the first bones after the palm, if you get what I'm saying.

SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR KNEECAPS CHUCKLEHEAD

[Neon]

Pacifism doesn't stop other people from beating you until your face caves in, it just means you can't do the same.
Not a survival tactic

I said pacifist. While I won't instigate a fight, if someone's going for my face I will defend myself. I'm not going to just take a beating.

EVeryones acting like Bara is some professional wrestling match, no he's in a fist-fight, in an enclosed area where you don't just grab the other guy and magically get him into a chokehold and win the fight.. Granted, most of the ideas would work if it was a wrestling match with rules and stuff, but its not.

ALthough some people have given some good ideas, but the best would be to charge back at him as soon as he stands up, that way you can catch him off balance, and he might be surprised. If you find yourself in a position where you can't run back however, I would suggest blocking/deflecting his first punch then hitting him twice in the stomach or face. Also try yelling a lot, depending on his personality it can work.

If they are kicking at your knees from the front just bend your knees a bit and all that happens is they forget up their legs.
