In popular fiction there are a lot of fights. I've been in only a few and all of those I've lost but here are some observations from Karate class and other places. Use them, if you want, to make your fights more vivid.
1. Reach and range matter. If you are too close you won't have power, too far away and you won't connect. You need to be aware, hopefully more aware then your opponent, of what range you are at.
2. Training for fighting is partially mental, you have to get used to looking at your enemy even though he or she is noisy and intimidating.
3. Fighting people who are bigger is hard. They are obviously more powerful then you and they also have a longer reach. I don't what the best way to do this is but I would think that grappling or coming in below their guard would be more useful than trying any kind of jumping move.
4. People, to a degree, rise or fall to their level of training. Training, except when you are dealing with extremes, is more important than innate abilities.
5. Powerful weapons, such as modern firearms, reduce the need for skill. An ignoramus with an AK-47 is very dangerous, at least in the short term, an unskilled guy swinging his fists around much less so.
Have good and hopefully, peaceful, day.
