How many 5 year olds could YOU take?

if they all ganged up on me at once i would be a grease spot.

I think all you tough guys are forgetting one important thing...THEY ARE ALL RIGHT AT BALL-PUNCHING HEIGHT. Unless you're wearing a cup you ain't lasting a minute.

that's amazing. .

. . .. and yeah, I didn't give myself enough credit (i never do) in that first post. . .
. . . 12

I have younger siblings. I've never knocked them unconcious, but it doesnt take much to fend them off.

Oh, and as far as numbers go... like 6, maybe 7. I think that dude is fucked in the head with that 13.

well, when i was in the sixth form at school i was once left with no choice but to defend myself after being set upon by around 15 ten years olds who decided that they wanted the football i had in my possession. No one stepped in to help me, thinking it was funnier to let me sort it out myself.

kids kick. hard.

in the end i was forced to pick them up and start chucking them around the playing field we were on until i ran out of strength and, tired, i went down.

they kicked me in the face and broke my nose.

if i can just about fend off 15 10 yr olds, i reckon realistically i could take about 15 of the little tykes because they'd go down easier especially if you kick 'em. once you get your face smashed by small boots, you lose the sympathy.

Probably 2. I have a 4 1/2 yo and a 3 yo. Sometimes they make me crazy, I dunno if I could handle a bunch of other peoples 5 yo.

It might be tough if they dogpile on you . I think if you take out the alpha quick you can destroy a lot of there confidence . Maybe 10 at a time I'd say .

im about 6ft4 and good a good swing, im thinking just a basic run into them as fast as i can or sue one of them as a bat, could mange about 15

At once? That's tough, I'd say a dozen. I figure I could elbow the first couple easily, but then you get tired. Those fuckers are all hopped up on sugar.

What about touching the wall with one of them?

You can see the deception and betrayal in her eyes.

Same answer I gave the last time somone posted this.

All of them.

I lived with a 2 year old, and a 6 year old. The two year old had the unerring ability to kick, punch, or knee me in the balls. The six year old had devekoped a little more control. She only hit on purpose.

Kids can be vicious little bastards.

I might be able to take 5 on a good day.

im a puss... just one 5 year old could take me... i have no skill

I think I could take at least 7 or 8.

I take some exception with rule #7: The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down.

You can't really train something like that. If you take a random sampling of kids, you're going to have some punks in the lot. I think you'll have quite a few at age 5. Once you break a few noses and some kids start hitting the pavement, you're going to have a couple runners.

I'm not overly worried about the day of training. I've watched young kids play sports. Ever see a bunch of kids playing soccer? There's almost no teamwork, no positions, etc. It's every kid for him or herself. There are 10 kids clumped around the ball, and a kid at each goal. The keeper is the only kid with enough focus not to rush the ball.

With all that, It's still hard to come up with a solid number. I haven't fought a kid since I was one, and I've never fought more than one person at a time. I'm guessing 10 wouldn't be out of the question. The key is not hesitating, dropping at least a couple kids quick and violently to intimidate the pack, and not allowing yourself to get overwhelmed. Endurance and speed will be key.

Can you wear whatever you want?
