How many 5 year olds...

[Praetorian]

The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?

The specifics:

- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious (or dead), they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy western-Europeans.
- The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant..
* 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.

I set my number at 12. I know it doesn't sound much but I fought 6 7 year olds at Judo (I practice Karate, but the hour before that is Judo time, and I sometimes watch) and they just started grabbing my legs and I was rather immobile. However, I can actually harm these so I guess I'll be better.

[Jay]

All of them. Duh.

[CNagy]

Do the bodies remain even after they've fallen? After a certain number, the kids will end up in eachother's way, there is only so much space surrounding an individual, especially with their much shorter reach.

At 6'2", 270, and no foreign objects for the little buggers to attack me with, I think I'd have to pass out from exhaustion before I lost. A day probably isn't enough for them to learn pressure points with any degree of accuracy, their little bodies don't have enough strength to disable a limb in another fashion, and I feel relatively sure that they'll go down from one hit, at least for the first half an hour or so while I'm still nice and fresh.

If the bodies stick around, that makes the job that much easier. If not, I'll put myself near a corner but not into the corner, perhaps six feet away from the two perpendicular walls, to lessen the amount that could hit me from behind.

I guess I'll set my number at 100. Beyond 10 or so, the others would have to wait for one of their little playmates to hit the dirt before they could step up, and from there it is a matter of crowd control.

[Soli]

1/2.......

[Jay]

At 6'2", 270

I don't mean to hijack Prae's thread (again... heh), but I'm 6'4 and 250 and I could stand to lose weight...

You fastass. :p

[Loc]

Sure I've seen a thread like this before... ;p

Anyway, I'd use my super negotiation skills on the kids, so I guess...all of them. :D

[Dresh]

Do I get to use the powers of the souls from the many demons I have slain?

If yes then I'll take on at least 2000.

If no then... maybe 50? I'm not sure.

[CNagy]

I don't mean to hijack Prae's thread (again... heh), but I'm 6'4 and 250 and I could stand to lose weight...

You fastass. :p

Heh, this time last year, it would have been 6'2", 330. I'll get back to you on the fatass thing when I hit 6'2", 210.

Edit: For the purposes of this situation, though, I've just that much more of a mountain to try and move.

[Anubis Nine]

I could take them on until I got tired.

I'm highly trained in the art of smacking around small things. I have a little brother that exists to try and take me down. 13 years old.

:Evillaugh:

[D-pad]

I know I could take on at least 30 if not more.

[Jay]

I could take them on until I got tired.

I'm highly trained in the art of smacking around small things. I have a little brother that exists to try and take me down. 13 years old.

:Evillaugh:

I'm highly trained in that art as well... same age...

I also had violent parents as well, so I learnt how to block blows. Now no one can get past my defenses. =)

[Anubis Nine]

Dada's violent but damned fast. Mom's just lazy. ^^;

That and I figure a five year old would go down real easy so I'm alloting one or two hits.

... but that is of course if I could bring myself to harm a 5 year old that isn't so danged annoying.

[Jay]

Meh, my bro's not that fast. He's a total pussy, I can disable him without even inflicting any pain.

He's almost 6 foot tall as well.

No matter how tall he gets I'll still be able to beat him up. :D

[Citizen]

[Anubis Nine]

Woah! Mine is 5'1-2'' ish for now. And I hold your last statement to my own. He's a wuss and I know most preassure points so I can cause him pain without making marks. *grin*

[sakana]

Well, I've actually taken on a bunch of 8-12 year olds in my neighborhood on my trampoline and they couldn't touch me. If they were trained specifically to take you down though... I'd say about 100. I'm on my schools wrestling team and I have fought with my brothers since I was little. If it wasn't a question of morals it'd be easy. I wouldn't feel right about knocking out or killing a five year old.

[Jay]

Woah! Mine is 5'1-2'' ish for now. And I hold your last statement to my own. He's a wuss and I know most preassure points so I can cause him pain without making marks. *grin*

Ooh, subtle.

I know pressure points on most people; just the threat of using them on him is enough.

Besides, my bro CAN NOT get a joke. You just touch him and he jerks like you threatened to hit him. You pretend to spar with him and he makes like you're about to hit him. You make fun of him and it turns into an argument.

...I get so much fun out of baiting him. :D

[Anubis Nine]

My brother is more the agressor.

And he lead an attack of 15 ten year olds on me on his birthday once. I ran. >.> I ran like *Hell* because I wasn't allowed to hurt them.

[Jay]

What, you can't disable him without using pain? :D It's simple!

When he goes for you with his left hand, grab that in YOUR left, and when he uses his only free hand (which is the natural reaction) grab that with YOUR free hand.

Trip him over.

Sit on his legs.

Cross his arms over his chest. Your arms should be uncrossed while holding his crossed arms.

For extra effect, push his wrists together really hard. It hurts, but doesn't leave marks. :D

[Anubis Nine]

He screams and is damned good at faking crying.

I love it when I hit him in the shoulder and he falls to the ground screaming. "MY EYE!!"

Gad I hate most children. (I love my neice but I draw the line at her)

[Jay]

I love children. Young kids are funny. "WTF?! How'd I get down here? *cry*"

My brother never puts up a fight. I wish I could train him up, he'd be fun to spar with.

I hate starting new pages. :mad:

[RDClip]

5 year olds are about crotch height and they can headbutt pretty hard.

Am I allowed to pick one up and swing him around like a weapon. It also depends if the kids are tough or wussie.

[Jay]

That's trippy. Is that avatar even moving, Clip?

[Anubis Nine]

... hillarious! And that's one of the beinefits of being female.

I don't think I could weild a 5 year old. They're a bit heavy for my weak arms.

[RDClip]

That's trippy. Is that avatar even moving, Clip?
NO not moving but the logo of my production group.

I don't think I could weild a 5 year old. They're a bit heavy for my weak arms.
The average 5 year old probably weighs about 30 lb (give or take) But with enough momentum you could get some pretty good swing moves.

[Jay]

NO not moving but the logo of my production group.

I swear it looks like it's moving...

Then again, I've been up 20 hours.

[hapacheese]

Considering I used to teach martial arts to children, I'd say... all of them. :D

[Anubis Nine]

I swear it looks like it's moving...

Then again, I've been up 20 hours.

Hey Jay, does mine look like it's moving? :rolleyes: ^^

[Jay]

Hey Jay, does mine look like it's moving? :rolleyes: ^^

Oddly... no.

[Anubis Nine]

I think you're in a state that any five year old could take you, let alone a group. XD

[Mojinr]

*Walks in to topic*

*Points to Avatar*

[Praetorian]

Why 'him'? 50% male, 50% female.


Also, they're tough. Western Europeans, heh.

[Anubis Nine]

Hum, if they're tough then I may only the able to take about ten or so before I go down.

But I bite. And my jaws are stronger and my teeth bigger. ^^;

[Jay]

I think you're in a state that any five year old could take you, let alone a group. XD

No way. With you on my side I will LIVE! Live, I tell you!

[Shamu]

I used to be a pre-school teacher. I can take on as many as you can throw at me! ;)

[Jay]

You sure about that? I can throw a lot at you.

[Shamu]

You sure about that? I can throw a lot at you.
Bring it on!
I was a PRE-SCHOOL teacher.
On top of that, I'm a mom! I can handle it.
I now how to take on multiple 5 year olds. Go ahead and add a few toddlers to the mix too. ;)

[Jay]

Big talk is the downfall of the cocky, my young beauty.

[Anubis Nine]

What about 5-10 year olds?

[h2orowe]

Pfft, I would go down with a 0 count, I'd never ever hit a 5 year old.
Unless they were really fat, than I'd tip them over like those little weebil toy thingys, and they'd fall :D they wouldn't hurt.

[Shamu]

5-10 year olds are a peice of cake compared to toddlers!
At least they're potty trained! Well, most of them at least.
And Jay, YOUNG beauty? That's gonna get you an ass kicking little boy!

[h2orowe]

Woo! Mom Vs. Jay! I'm taking all bets here. Pfft, whatever man, Jay is about to get his ass kicked.
Hell hath no fury like that of an angry young mom.

[Benaire]

Lots perhaps more then there are in the world right now.

[belladonna]

i don't know how many.... i planned on being a kindergarten teacher so i mean i know how to soothe the evil children.... i am awesome and they love me!

[Shamu]

NO Belladonna! Don't trust the soothing thing!!! It's just a ruse! They're really evil! Mark my words, learn to defend yourself against them now! Before it's too late! Teh soothing doesn't work! :eek:

[belladonna]

lol.....i still love them!

[Benaire]

Kids are Evil........ and well what does it make the person who spawns evil?

[Shadowblade]

I reckon i could take down at least 50 before i started getting tired. The only way i could lose would probably be dying from fatigue.

I am rather good at fighting little kids, i have a ten year old little brother who's main purpose in life seems to be attacking me, i also have a six foot 16 year old older brother who i can beat the crap out of with ease.

[Myrsilus]

I am light, limber, fast, and have powerful kicks. I would be able to keep many kids at bay with powerful kicks, and I could kick-jump around them easily.

If I had to fight, I would. If I was not really at any risk, I would not. So in the instance I would have to fight to... I dunno... save my life, I think I could handle 200. That's being realistic I think. Who knows though.

[GTARob]

Yeah, I'd use the smallest kid I could find as a club, wether he was concious or not. The whole no fear clause raises the big problem. Anyone who doesnt give a crap about thier own well being can do alot more damage than you might give them credit for.

[Lateli]

I have no idea how many I could handle.. I'm only about 5'4 - 5'5, 90ish pounds.. So just a few together could outweigh me.. I think if they were after blood and not about to back down I could take on quite a few. I value my life over an angry 5 year old's and won't let them take me down :P

[Jay]

And Jay, YOUNG beauty? That's gonna get you an ass kicking little boy!

What, you want me to call you an OLD beauty..?

...

[h2orowe]

Now it's on Jay, noone calls my E-mom old. You E-hoe!
I'll e-kick your e-ass from e-here to e-kingdom come.
Jay: 20/20 30/30
H2orowe: 4000/6000000000000000 1000/100000000000000000
Jay does an attack for 0 damage
h2orowe does guitar solo for 10 mana, and does 1000000000000 damage.
H2orowe, you've won the battle!
Obtained phoenix down :/

[Jay]

No. I called her a young beauty. Wouldn't you prefer that to being called an OLD beauty?

If not... well, to each their own I guess.

[h2orowe]

Jay, you are no longer in this thread. I pwnd j00, leave or I will ask the server admin to kick you.
Hahaha, well, just don't talk to E-mom likez that, even though I'm only defending her E-honor, I'm bored :p

[Jay]

I'll talk to your e-mum however the damn hell I want.

[h2orowe]

You do that, and I'll e-snap your neck! Fool, don't make me go e-loco on your ass.
I'm one crazy vato, e-aye.
E-EEE E-FOO E-EEE
Fool, I'll fucking E-Shank you, and make you cry to YOUR e-mom.

[Jay]

I don't cry. Much. :p

And bring it bitch. I'll smack your arse across the floor.

[h2orowe]

Pfft,
E-Hell hath no E-fury, like that of an E-son.
Fool!

[Jay]

Like I care?

[Random]

Assuming "no forgein objects" includes no guns, tear gas, grenades, LAW launchers, claymores, etc...

Like, 50? maybe 60.
Prehaps more, but judging by my 5 year old cousin....
I'd be fucked >.<

With above weaponry... all of the little buggers ;)

[Pete]

I'd go 15, unless I can use their unconscious bodies as weapons, then I'd say nearer 60. :)

[Snake eyeS]

you would choose your own life over that of 200 5 years olds? your sick man ;)

Ive taught kids from 6-8 year old last year, and i can honestly say... a 5 year old has nothing on me! :D but if you really want an answer.. till i got fatiqued, but ill starty singing my goodnight song and they will fall asleep aswell

[StormShadow]

I used to work at a cubs-scout camp, wher we had this game called "The Master Jouster". The game would be re-named sometimes, but the basics were always the same.
Step 1: A lifeguard puts on multiple PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices aka 'Life-jackets') all around his body. He then dons a full body wetsuit, which was dubbed 'The lobster suit', as it was all red.
Step 2: You bring in many, oh so many, small children, between the ages of 8-11. You give this little hellions foam noodles that you would use in a pool.
Step 3: Through some song and dance or cheer the lifeguard pops out of hiding. This chant or cheer is to get the blood moving in these children. Much like in Braveheart, where they bang their spears against their shields, so too would this act bring the thirst of blood to these kids.
Step 4: Kids hit you with the foam noodles for about an hour.

Now, you may think this is easy. Hell no! This is water! Only your head sticks out! Every blow is to the face and ears. I tell you, once I heard the kids yell 'Let's drown him!' You do not know fear until you have 6 PFDs on your body, with an additional 19 children, and you sink, and underwater you can't breath.

That being said, I could take on probably 500 5 year olds if I had little to no regard for their safety. Maybe another 300 more if I was wearing a cup.

[Shamu]

What, you want me to call you an OLD beauty..?

...
No, but I'm old enough to be your old baby-sitter! So you shouldn't be calling me young (it makes me think you're being sarcastic) and you shouldn't call any female old unless you really want to get an ass-kicking! So just stick with beauty, plain and simple. :p
h2owore! You're such a good boy defending your e-mom like that! *hugs*

I still say I can take on as many 5 year olds as you can throw at me!

[koku]

yeah I went along to a friends wrestlign practice once. One of the things they did was have my friend go in vs. a bunch of little kids. They set them up inside the wrestle circle(not that big at all) and tried to see how long he could last.

I did it too, when you can't really fight back and you don't know the kids...it's not that easy :P.

Now, if i could knock these little punks unconcious?? hmmmmmm.

Wouldn't they all just go for my nuts though? I don't think they need a day. The first kid to hit me in my nuts hard enough is going to have me fall down. At that precises moment all they have to do is keep kicking.

[4letterwords]

I hate 5 year olds

[Tungtvann]

I have 2 nieces of around that age, one of them is even quite big and tall for her age, so I have an idea of what they can do. And a 5 year old, I'd bet ANY 5 year old, cannot exert enough force in a strike to hurt you. Maybe if they boot you in the shins with shoes on, but still, it wouldn't make a grown man fall to the ground. And you'd have to be standing still, because 5 year olds don't have the balance to do a proper running kick on you.

Also, 1 single kick or punch to a 5 year old would disable the kid. If you at least had some fighting skills, and weren't too small (I am only 5'9" and 160 pounds but could still knockout a 5 year old in 1 hit) you'd have no trouble.

So really, until I am exhausted, I'd have little trouble. The only way they could do any damage, is to trip you up with their bodies, and smother you under the weight of about 30 of them.

I'd fight a good 50 of them, and then once their bodies were cleared out, I'd fight another 50. My personal fitness would be the only limitation.

10 year olds though, would be more of a challenge!

[Pierrot le Fou]

I'm 6'2 200 pounds or so, and I was tackled by 20 of my 6 year-olds who weren't even trying. I mean, they just grabbed my legs to try to prevent me from leaving the room, and one kid started climbing my torso, and I just went down HARD. Anyone who thinks they can beat 50 6 year-olds has never been bum-rushed by a bunch of kids. You would be eaten alive.

!
All in a day's work M'lady e-mom, all in a day's work.


I think I could take quite a few, if I had no feelings.
But like, I'd break off their arms, and tie them with a piece of clothing I ripped off their shirts, and would make armchakus out of them. They'd be pwnd in a matter of seconds! SECONDS!

Or, I could start singing and dancing and entertain them, than when they're all taking a nap, I quietly kick them in the back of the heads, killing them, and splattering blood on their nap buddy, and the nap buddy would wake up, and I'd sing and dance and they'd go to sleep again.

[Myrsilus]

you would choose your own life over that of 200 5 years olds? your sick man ;)

If they're trying to kill me, then to hell with 'em. :D I've got plans.

Little kids climbing all over you can be a strange thing to deal with, but I've had at least SOME experience in these types of situations. Back when I used to take Tae Kwon Do, some little red and black belts ranging from 8-10 years old fought in the class. At the end, there would be a free-for-all... Well I got rushed by a bunch of tiny martial artists and they started trying to trash my legs up. Hurt my legs bad... So I sent one flying with a kick to the chest (he had gear on) and made him and some of the kids fly back with him. The others were easy to pick off since they could not get close anymore with my kicks intercepting them.

Sooo... With practice, it is possible to go Dynasty Warriors on a bunch of trained kids.

[h2orowe]

Dude! I call Lu Bu.

[kensei]

Has anyone stated that the wouldn't beat a 5 year-old to the point of unconsciousness or death?


*raises hand*

[belladonna]

i wouldn't do it! i love kids!!!!!!!!!

[h2orowe]

I did! I did! My first post here!

[belladonna]

wow..... dork

[Josh]

Well, I have a few years experience with boxing so that would help, mostly with the high endurance levels I've built up. I'd just hold up close to a corner so only a couple could get behind me. Then when they got close I could just pick them off from a distance, I've got a pretty long reach. Honestly, as long as I stayed on my feet I could take out any and all sent my way until I got really tired.

[Urban~Ninja]

A good 100 before i hit the deck, but thats because i have done Martial Arts and i would take one kid down, a prolly shrimpy, twiggy oen and use him like a limp club, and also i would be using alot of Elbows and Knees.

[koku]

you are all wrong. All they would have to do is kick you in the nuts one time. one good kick, you cannot block 20 pairs of leggs coming at your balls.

[kensei]

Honestly, it should be a one-hitter-quitter for each one of them...not that I would, though...'cause, come one, 5 year-olds!

[Myrsilus]

you are all wrong. All they would have to do is kick you in the nuts one time. one good kick, you cannot block 20 pairs of leggs coming at your balls.
I've been hit in the balls so many times in martial arts I've learned how to keep moving while the pain is making my eyes tear up. So I'd be conditioned AND aware. And one of the best ways to take down people shorter than you is to go aerial on them. Luckily I'm so light and my legs are so strong I can fly. :D

[Josh]

I too have been hit many many times in the balls. It hurts a whole lot but it doesnt really "cripple" you. Just have to work past it. Work past it with tears rolling down your face and a shortness of breath.

[koku]

well...you are all strong, crazy, and apparently *ariel* people.

If a 9 year old girl hits me in the balls hard enough I'm going down. I'll be yelling, cursing, and most likely 3 feet taller than her but i'm going down.



curse you lightweat Fujin.

[Myrsilus]

:D You can't hurt the wind. Simple as that.

[kensei]

Taking various kicks, punches, and an instance of my 200+ lbs. buddy jumping and landing with his heel in my crotch has been great pain conditioning. I recommend it to none.

[Pierrot le Fou]

You have no idea what it's like getting swarmed by a gaggle of kids. They are NOT going to be easily punchable with your long reach, because they're coming up to your waist. And they won't be easy to punch latched onto your legs, which would REALLY hinder your ability to move around and punch them. You would be screwed come the first wave of them. Everyone would.

I could definitely punt one away before I got mobbed. That's 'bout it.

[Myrsilus]

That's a good point. Boxing won't really help you when you're being swarmed by groups of kids. You can KO a few, but they'll take away your legs and then you'll be strong-arming. You'll either tire your arms out or be taken down before it can happen.

I stand by my strategy... aerial techniques would help immensely. Also knowing how to use rolling to one's advantage would make life much easier. Some people don't realize that a roll can actually be a vicious technique while being evasive at the same time. Grappling involving distance throws would also be highly beneficial. Luckily ninjutsu has prepared me for such battles very well.

The side kick Bruce Lee made famous is also awesome against multile enemies if the situation is right... And now I am wondering why I am planning strategies for taking down 5 year olds... Man I need a real sparring partner, I'm losing my mind.

[kensei]

Seeing as I had a very, very brief stint helping to train children in the martial arts, I have an idea as to what a wave of children entails.

I stand by my previous statement.

[Shamu]

People, you're going about this the wrong way!
You can't just fight them off! First, you have to be able to yell REALLY loud! Then you have to tell them there's a special surprise in the box that you brought, that will get their attention. Then you tell them to sit down and you'll show them what the special surprise is ( and believe you me, they will sit down, because they really want to know what that surprise is). After they all sit down, you take out massive amounts of play-dogh from the box that you just happen to have. Then, when there all sitting playing with the play-dough, that's when you attack! And make sure you yell really loudly as you're attacking them, this might cause them to cry and possibly pee there pants, but you'll have the upper hand! And that my friends is how you handle five year olds! This method also works on 3,4, and 6 year olds. I do not recomend that you try this with 2 year olds, their attention span is almost nill and most of the play-dogh will have been eaten by the time you have a chance to attack and you don't want to know what happens when a 2 year old eats play-dogh

[h2orowe]

Jeez. 2 year olds eat play dough? I can barely stomach the stuff myself and I'm 15. Well, Play dough is awfully good though.

[akitaka]

Shamu is a certified OP9 mom. I think she'd do the best out of all of us, well, maybe except for Hapacheese.

As for me:
Enough to fill the court. I'd be smack in the middle; they would be packed like sardines, and would have no moveability. With this said, I'd knock them out, one by one, using my height. They would then end up walk on each other's KOed bodies to get to my height, but by then, I'd have leg mobility; spinning heel kicks for the win. They can't have nut shots either, if I use their bodies as a waist-check.

Also, my shins are conditioned; the coffee tables don't know what's coming until it's too late.

If, however, the number was in the hundreds, but enough for them to move, then I may be in trouble. In this case I might be able to incapacitate (not completely knock out) anywhere from 80-120. If the kids were really paying attention enough to warrant a survival lesson on training, knock it down to half the previous amounts. REMEMBER PEOPLE; THEY BITE.

[kensei]

The side kick Bruce Lee made famous is also awesome against multile enemies if the situation is right... And now I am wondering why I am planning strategies for taking down 5 year olds... Man I need a real sparring partner, I'm losing my mind.
The jeet kun do sidekick is one of my personal favorite kicks and will end damn nigh any fight quickly. Like you said, though...conditions have to be right *nods*

[Myrsilus]

Ha ha. Yes indeed my friend. Glad I got some support on this one.

Deadly kick.

[Tungtvann]

Come on! I think some of you are overestimating this far too much. The kids are going to try and fight you, sure, they won't be scared (like a 5 year old would normally), but they are not mindless animals. People who say "I got mobbed by some kids and they took me to the ground", well, you weren't exactly trying to kill them, were you? I play fight with my nephews and nieces, and I don't start kicking them in the face, I let them push me over and fight me.

Also saying how you couldn't dodge 20 pairs of legs trying to kick you in the balls, erm, you just gonna stand there? Are they going to have ladders? You are not going to stamp on them?

You could easily bowl over a crowd of 5 year olds with a charge, this would knock lots to the floor. 5 year olds don't have the strength or body mass to do much damage. If you stay on your feet, and have some proficiancy in fighting, it would be easy.

So, who is setting up the first round for me?

[Iekleane]

I can take them all on. Just pic one up and use it to beat them all!

If you think Bruce Lee was great at kicking, you should see muay thai competitor Samkor. He has the strongest left leg in the sport, though he wasn't the best fighter overall. It's still neat seeing how he's able to break guards using a simple round kick to the shoulder. TKO by guard break? Yep. Samkor.

However, don't use sidekicks against multiple people/kids. It leave you wide open for a nut shot. The only exception is if they happen to have been standing linearly.


Tungtvann: Use slain/dazed bodies as shields. Another tactic is to back up into a corner so that all of them have to pile on each other to reach you; in other words, only about 7 will be able try to knock your nuts, and they will ALL have to be in front of you. With this, you can either cross your legs, or resort to the former option.

Muay thai fighters specialize more in roundhouses, though. Those, I think, are horrible for fighting groups of people unless you aim at just the legs. And even then it's a risk since there needs to be plenty of momentum behind it. But I know what you are talking about, many muay thai fighters have some extremely vicious kicks. Had one planted on my thigh once and my leg didn't work for a few minutes. At all.

And like I said before, the sidekick is good for only certain circumstances. It takes planning and strategy to set the right moment up. And luckily I am great at setting people up. Kids won't stand a chance.

Hmm tihs is tough. I don't consider my hooker boots to be outside weapons since they are footwear. Assuming I'm allowed to wear them, judging by damage done to peers my age (14), a good kick to the head or neck ought to take them down at least, since I do have fairly good kicks and boots hurt pretty strong. I am about 5'9 and weight about 175 lbs. My punches are less than average, however due to their height I probably would'nt need to use htem that much. I have fialry good smacks/slaps however they would'n't be very useful except to stun and retreat. My jumping range is pretty good and I if I had the room I oculd probably pounce on some, and I'm rather good at scratching so I could possibly cut their throats with my nails, since I've been letting them grow out however, they aren't too long so that they'd break easily. Problem is getting up though, if enough were to pile on me I would fall. If they latched onto my knee i oculd either slash at them, however that would be hard, considering their height and it wouldn't be as effective as option 2; bending forward and elbowing the lil' buggers on the head. I doubt I could charge through them well, or use one effectively as weapon. However, if I was ofrced to the ground, I could do what Takako Chigusa did and drive my nails through their eyes, blinding htem, this may help me get them off me and put me at a slight advantage. My worst drawback though would be my energy, depending on the situation dpeends how mucj energy I put fourth, like I tire out easily when running to my friends house, however wen racing them I put fourth more energy, due to that effects then umbmer I cna take down. My estimate owuld be atleast 30 or so.

I choose you Pikachu!
Pikachu won the battle.

All of them....

My buddy is a muay thai fighter. I think it's right up there with any form of kickboxing, but there seems to be very little spirituality in it. You know, no focus on chi/ki, which in my humble opinion, omits many of the most devasting strikes in martial arts. Of course, in a situation such as this, you wouldn't very well have the time to focus your chi/ki into an offensive posture, so *shrugs*

[akitaka]

Kensei's on the dot. Less spritual, more brutal. However tradition is still there, at least for those who practice Ram Muay, and where the correct Mong Kon.

I can tell you that 5 year olds won't have the great instinctive advantage to stop a good muay thai kicker, especially if he's at a good weight. Toss back-fists on the recoil and you have an unstoppable striking tank. But in the end, I'd say the best MA style in this is either Systema, or Bujinkan Taijutsu; both train in aversion of damage when within a crowd. It's awesome seeing a Bujinkan Ninjutsu practicioner flawlessly redirect an inexperienced fighter around a 4 foot radius :)

[Myrsilus]

Exactly. Which is why I would rule in this battle. :D

[akitaka]

Fujin does Bujinkan Taijutsu? I wonder how I didn't catch that :\

[Myrsilus]

? I thought I made that clear in a few posts... Especially since I talk about rolls a lot.

[akitaka]

Rolls: I did them in Wushu, Taekwondo, Capoeira, and have seen it done many times in Jujitsu styles + Judo. But alright; I just thought you were making referrences.

SO FUJIN. You're a ninja huh.

[Myrsilus]

Yep. A ninja. And I know those others do incorporate rolls... Sometimes even Taekwondo... Just never did it in mine. =\
