I think kicking as hard and as much as I can would be my strategy. Since were are talking about 3 feet tall kids it would be much easier than punching, and I would imagine it would hurt them more. Also it would keep the legs moving thus keeping the kids from immobilizing you. The only downside I can think of is balance. If you somehow lost the leg you were standing on during the kid you would be screwed.

You know, I have recently completed some defensive tactics and ground fighting training. I also have really upped my stamina with an aerobic exercise regimine. I think I have doubled the number of five year olds I could take.

OK. We've all had more than a year to give this some serious thought.
What's your final number? Me, personally, I think I could take on about 50. I'm not the athlete I used to be, and endurance would be the killer. Another point to remember is that punching really hurts your fists. You take down a couple of these kids and your hands are going to swell up, leaving you with just your legs. You throw a single way-ward kick and 10 of the little buggers are going to grapple your leg and it's game over. With this in mind you need to throw a couple of roundhouse kicks right at the beginning to clear some room, and then go in for the grab. Pick up a kid and just utterly destroy him by hurling him head first in to the ground. Then you gotta keep the rest of them at bay with your kicks, and take the fuckers out one by one. You pick up a kid and twirl them around and you may knock them over, but you won't knock them out. The key is using your energy wisely and making sure each attack you use is a KO attack.

I missed this one earlier. Do 6 year olds count, or do they have to be 5? My six year old son is driving me nuts these days................

I think it would be kinda like breaking the seal when you're drinking... probably take you a long time to kill the first one, but after that you could get rid of 'em fast and furious.
Unless they were bloodthirsty zombie kids, that would change the formula completely. |

5 year olds I can take, they have learned fear. It's the three year olds I worry about.
I took my 3 year old to the barbers yesterday, and he was great and sat in the chair next to me while I got my haircut. When we were done, he went to get up (ignoring me telling him no), and got his coat caught in the chair and smacked his head on the floor. He had a black and blue knot the size of an avocado pit that stuck out about 3/4". Took him to the doctor and he was alright. Got him home, what's the first thing he does? He climbs up on the biggest chair he can find, and then jumps off. |

Just did the howmany5yearsoldscanyoutakeinafight.com or whatever Radii posted above, my number was 26. I think thats a little low... Somehow I missed this thread completely until now. I think it is all about the initial rush, once you start getting a few knocked out, if you are in shape you can take em all.

Elbows are your best friend. Swinging, punching, kicking, these things will tire you out too quickly. But you can swing elbows all day. Little bastards wouldn't have a chance.

Well, that becomes really problematic because then you have to start factoring in stuff like how soon after zombification starts taking effect and how you'd fight very conservatively because you'd be afraid of being bitten. SI

i just thought of this question over 3 years after this thread got started:
when you say "how many 5 year olds can you take?", do you mean you're going to put me in a room and keep sending in wave after wave of 5 year old warriors until i eventually succumb? cuz if that's the case, the question is more "how many 5 year olds do you think you could take before you are beat in this challenge?" is there a finite number of combatants? how do i win? or have i forgot the rules or something? what is the criteria for winning this challenge? i still think i can take on 100 minimum. i've packed on a beer belly since this thread came out, but due to a steady consumption of red meat/protein and an occassional arm/shoulders workout i've added more muscle to my upper body. i can get up to 200 kids with the aforementioned ninja outfit and black headband, strobe lights and a song like "Survivalism" by NIN blaring loudly, with sounds of ravaging animals interspersed throughout. |

On the local CBS they were interviewing the mother and kid. The mother said the child didn't kick the teacher. They asked the kid and he said, "I don't know. I forgot." I have a seven year old. I've heard that lie before.

I think the point of the game was how many 5 year olds you can take, not how you somehow have to get this stinkin' 5 year old to the principal's office without touching him, without saying anything remotely negative, while at the same time he can do anything he wants to you without any repercussions. I'm sure that one forearm to the back of the head would have knocked out that kid for 6-8 weeks but good luck ever finding another teaching job.

My son isn't even three yet and he beats the crap out of me (unintentionally, most of the time). I think my original reply of 47 is WAY too many.

So apparently I can't even take 1. Maybe it is because he is actually 6 instead of 5. Yeah I'll go with that. So last Friday I was wrestling with my son. He came running at me and jumped and his knee came down full force. I had a lot of pain almost immediately. The pain lasted a little more than 2 hours. I had no more problems until Monday night. I was sitting in a chair watching the Packer game. I moved a little to readjust myself and I felt a pop in my back followed by immediate pain. Again it lasted a little more than 2 hours before I was able to fall asleep. I woke up at 2 a.m. In very intense pain. So I called my dad to come sit with the kids while I went to the ER. They ran a CAT scan and the only thing that showed up was my white blood cell count was high, and my liver was slightly inflamed. So the ER sent me home with a prescription for Vicodin. I took those for the full day and they did absolutely nothing for the pain. So I called my primary Dr and went to see him. He was feeling around in my back and he said he was pretty certain that I tore a muscle. So he sent me home with some muscle relaxers. So I took those for the full day and they did nothing for the pain. I would say I was expierncing about an 8 on the pain scale. So I called my Dr first thing in the morning and more or less begged for something stronger. So he gave me an order for oxycodone. I took 1 pill at 2:00 yesterday and it knocked me out. I woke at 4 and by 4:15 was in complete pain again. So I called the Dr office and asked how long the oxy should last. After I explained that it lasted about 2 hours they suggested that I return to the ER. So they run another CAT scan and it shows my white blood cell count was higher than it was Monday night. So the ER Dr consulted with another Dr and they now believe when Lukas jumped on me that I suffered severe trauma to my kidney. They believe I have a clotting in my kidney. If this is the case I was told my kidney is dying and too much time has passed to save it.
So if you ever find yourself one on one with a 6 year old, take him out before he does you.

Better yet, hold this in your back pocket and if your other kidney starts to fail, pull this story out for the guilt of getting one of his donated to you.
