Holly Bush Pruning

The previous tenant let some holly bushes get overgrown. I want to trim them back heavily (i.e. cut back the sides by 4-6 inches toward the trunk) – but do not want to potentially damage the bushes. I believe they are either American or Chinese holly. Thank you very much for your guidance.
