Re: Every time this comes up, I whip out this gif
This is gradually turning into 'I'm going to threaten to punch and kick the shit out of you, walk away, and then my friends are going knife you in an alley the second you walk outside' where I live(d), unfortunately. Scary shit and I don't know how the police are going to put get a handle on it. Japan never ceases to amaze me with its virtually violence-free drinking culture, to be honest. A few of my coworkers wouldn't believe me when I told them that fights regularly break out in clubs and bars, and insisted that "no, that only happens in the movies".
Definitely not going to disagree about the huge size difference thing, though. I was shocked by how easy it was to overpower said very experienced wrestler friend with even a modicum of training. I'd bought into the whole tiny, skilled martial artist wins the day notion myself... but she couldn't even get me into holds; I just pried her arms apart. Thinking, hey, I'm 150 and she's 100 lbs, and there's basically nothing she can do to win this fight, oh boy am I ever not going to pick fights with someone who outweighs me by this much, ever.
Re: Every time this comes up, I whip out this gif
For your second point, during officer safety training they proved that point pretty effectively. We had a woman in our class who was London champion in some martial arts or other in her weight category - but just over five foot/120lbs. They paired her up with me (over two meters/220lbs) to demonstrate the importance of size and it was comically easy to get out of half the moves, or to literally get up and walk away. Let alone her being able to get into reach to try to grab me if I was using strikes.
Except that helped drive home 'wait shit, there's plenty of people that much heavier than me, except they're not going to have the psychological block... we.. we get guns right??'.
