How to win a large and a technically rich opponent?

Meijin Ohtsuka said Mental, technical, and physical strength are more important for a martial artist. We call it Shin (mind, mental), Gi (technique), and Tai (body) in Budo. 

One has to train diligently to attain balance. These three aspects are interconnected. Now the answer is: if you're weaker in any of these aspects than your opponent, then you should use more of your technical strength to compensate for the weaker side of the aspects. 

Ex: Maai 間合い and Sente先手. 

Maai間合い: means "Suitable distance" . 

One must maintain a good pocket of space with the opponent. 

Sente先手: 

Sente means roughly as "timing." The original translation of the kanji character is "beforehand." It's a study to practice; one should counter the opponent at a specific time or in a  specific movement. 

In short, if you win or loose, it depends on how you maintain the Maai and use your Sente. 

In short, if you win or loose, it depends on how you maintain the Maai and use your Sente.
