In a physical confrontation, the best way to handle the situation is to diffuse it as quickly as possible. Avoid engaging with your opponent physically and calmly try to talk him out of the encounter. Reason with him and explain why what he’s doing is not acceptable or dangerous. If talking doesn't work, use whatever means are necessary—even submitting voluntarily—to end the confrontation safely. You should also consider how to minimize further damage or injury, such as taking steps to separate you both if there is any form of danger present from engaging in an altercation any further

Remember that size and strength are not necessarily related to violence. Avoid physical contact and do your best to remain calm in the face of confrontation. If talking doesn't seem to be working, you can try finding a way to deescalate the situation without directly engaging with your opponent (for example, by backing away slowly). Never antagonize or confront them directly - instead, focus on leaving gracefully.
