An effective way to physically intimidate a bully without getting into trouble is to stay calm and assertive. Stay out of the immediate area and slowly walk towards the bully, making eye contact. Breathe deeply and speak calmly while using assertive body language such as standing tall, square shoulder posture, maintaining distance of several arms length away, not making direct physical contact but coming close enough that you can safety deliver an instruction or warning like "Leave him alone". Maintaining direct eye contact also helps keep the person fixated while speaking in an even voice. Do not act in haste nor confront with verbal aggression but make sure your instructions or warnings are heard without sound too intimidating.

An effective way to physically intimidate a bully without getting into trouble is to stay calm, look them directly in the eye, and lean slightly forward with your body. Make sure you seem confident and non-threatening though, so that you don't escalate the situation further. It might also be beneficial to have support or protection from friends or other adults nearby in case the bully reacts aggressively.
