How many five year olds can you take in a fight?

[Magic Odd Effect]

25 estimated, but I know I could take on more.

I'm a red belt in Tae Kwon Do, my legs can lift 500 pounds, I can kick as high as I am (5'6"), and these are friggin' five year olds. They have sucky motor skills.

As soon as the fighting starts, if you have maybe 50 in the room, at least ten will trip if they all run at you, and be trampled. They can't punch you hard enough to do any damage anywhere at all.

Also, they don't factor in adrenaline. I'd have some going, and that stuff is like natural steroids. It's made moms lift cars off their children, made athletes run at 26 miles per hour, makes people break someone's sternum in one hit, cracking open their ribcage...

Ooh, speaking of that, do it. Use your knuckles to whack them right in the sternum. It hurts really bad, especially to them. If you do it really hard (like adrenaline-wise), you could fracture their sternum and their ribcage will pop open, exposing their chest cavity. Gore everywhere.

Five year old kids have very little tolerance for pain, either. *WHACK* And they cry or whine.

I can take on 14. I guess I'm too much of a nice guy...

I got 25 I'm proud of myself
I'm try it at that primary school down the road...

People who are saying that you could take more, you are wrong. A high amount of kids running at you would take you down fast no matter what you do. 26 kids, the number I got, weigh 1040 pounds (40 pounds times 26).

30... the last 50 kids ran away

[TBDM]

You could take on 19 five year old kids in a fight.


yay. 4th lowest score!

[Dairy]

You could take on 23 five year old kids in a fight...

Ow , hell Im a meat-grinder  ...

[Flamingo]

Hmmmmmmmmm... I'm such a nice guy that I can only take on 17 5 year olds.

And what is all this karate-chop (knife edge of hand) crap? Honestly it's not that easy to chop in a fight. Punches can reach further although I agree theres a risk it might hit their chin instead.

I can't see a chop actually severing the wind-pipe though... The wind pipe is protected by rings of cartilage....

Believe me, if you form your hand right you can do a LOT of damage with those. It's like a knife vs. a club, which one penetrates more? (Same with 2nd knuckle vs. 3rd knuckle) Plus, unless someone is reeling back constantly, then you'd have to have a nearly impossible level precision to hit the neck with a fist. Not to mention the extra amounts of force you can get in the swinging motion. (Which you can admittedly do with a fist, but that's technically not a punch)

27.

That depends on if you live in america or not or france for that matter, i've heard they are getting fatter as well.

Also you have to apply the domino effect, if you boot one 5 year old in the face, whoever is behind him is gonna fall as well, so you'd have to run towards one side first, boot a couple in the face and then when the other side reaches you, you boot as many as possible, then you must fight it out however you can.

30... the last 50 kids ran away

These kids show no mercy they will attack you no matter what.

Also if you hit them with the 'knife' part of your hand it will apply pressure to that spot only instead of a fist which has a bigger surface area, especially if you hit them wrong.

I got 30...I expected atleast 50. Damn kids, no match for the likes of me!

Right, basically what I was trying to say with "which one penetrates more".

I'm surprised I got 31.  I don't think I could take that many.  The swarm factor is huge.  Once one latches on your pretty much going down. 


The strange thing is I had a talk about this several years ago, we were debating how many first graders we could take on in a fight.

A similar question is how many midgets you can take on.

A lion can take on 42 and win.

[Yes]

Im to nice. 14. Last few questions really got me.

[excruciator]

29, I wish I had a weapon choice.I do fencing.. poor kids wouldn't know what hit em.

Date Posted: December 20, 2007, 09:35:31 pmapparently 1 is the lowest you can go and 39 is the highest.

[Kerrazyeye]

18, I'm pretty skinny

I dont think you could take them on forever, after while fatigue sets in, and your just using too much energy snapping necks like toothpicks. Also the factor that you do need water every 3-4 days....

You're supposed to drink their blood

25.  A swift, hard knee to the face is all it takes.

They'll cover your legs to keep you from kicking when you've gotten at least 25...
