Default Giant Killer martial arts style

Is there a martial arts style anywhere designed for smaller characters to be able to take down much larger opponents?

Not that I know of. How much larger are we talking about here?

I would say large enough that the character would be limited to hitting the legs and groin unless they jump a lot. I'd say a size difference of 3.

The Grundemorgen Monster-Slaying style in Pyramid 3/22 is definitely aimed at some size difference (humans and gnomes who fight ogres, mainly), but the size difference isn't quite that severe.

It may be something to look at as a start in building a custom style, though.

If we're cinematic at all, something need to be done for the technique of scaling your opponent and attacking the back of the neck.
