Yeah but that's because the oppenent was maybe just a nancy or something. I have never seen a fight end in 1 punch.

No. You got it wrong. Don't mess with tasers or guns. You will get in trouble after. Non lethal weapons will do no good, as the bullies will just try to kill you even more.

I vote for explaining to the cops/talking to your parents and stuff.

by getting "neutralized" by your target's friends or family a few days later. bad idea.

Size and strength don't mean anything in a fight.

So you're saying that 10 year old boy with asthma could take down a 6'5 lumbering world champion weight lifter?

Dominik, of course try and reason with cops and stuff, but I'm talking about if he gets attacked? Asking the bullies kindly to stop beating him up is not going to stop them. Now I vote against using a gun, well, because that's just plain stupid, because he will be in even more trouble for killing some one. But stunning the bully long enough to get away might save his life. 5 mins is long enough to get away. Plus a stun gun is dirt cheap. I'm also assuming that he doesn't know martial arts, even if he did, this guy sounds huge. So.....Pepper spray, nah, he can still move. But even if he is huge, it's not going to matter when his muscles are frozen.

And yes Temp, strength does matter in a fight, very much so.

.

Yeah, if he gets jumped, I guess using a taser would be a good idea. However, the taser will just make things worst between the taser-ed and the taser-er.

Oh, but I do Monoxide, I have the Super Soaker 3,000,000! *Fires first shot*, Whoops, lol, guess I left it at home, I get them two mixed up a lot.

Well, one of them was his size, and the guy ended up vomiting with a concussion.

Two rolls of quarters ($20 worth), akimbo.

Roll of pennies ftw.

Seriously, when you're fighting, have a roll of pennies in your hands. It's a dirty, dirty tactic, but if they're going to try to kill you...well...I think exceptions can be made.

Not really. It matters if you're grabbing eachother and trying to throw one another, but other than that, strength means crap in a fight.

I've seen many many guys who were tiny take down/ beat the **** out of guys that weightlifted.

Speed is the most essential thing in any fight, if you've got a lot of speed and can packa nice punch, you can pretty much handle any sized person. Martial arts training teaches you this, its one of the main principles, size doesnt matter.

they stab you before you shoot them

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

...Says the guy who said "shoot the ****ers."

Temp, I don't know what martial art you take, but it's wacked up some logic. Lets say a 4 year old and a guy who's 6'8" and 230 pounds of mostly muscle each take a punch at eachother, both are at the same speed, but which one has more force, and which one is going to take the worst beating? Yeah. That's why there are some 11 year olds who can't break through 10 bricks with a downward kick yet, they just don't have enough defined muscle. So, strength does mean crap

I think it's a little bit different when you're comparing an 11 year old fighting a 40 year old...

Strength doesnt mean much in a fight. It doesnt mean absolutely nothing no, but it definately doesnt turn the tide of a fight.

I guess that explains why you can download videos of martial artists that arent that big muscular wise, yet they kick the crap out of guys twice to three times their size. What about UFC, it happens a hell of a lot of the time.. Just because you're big and strong, doesnt mean someone smaller can't kick your ***.

Right you are, I was just saying that strength doesn't mean crap, period. I've been doing martial arts for 6 years, and I know, that a 11 year old with enough training in martial arts can waste a 15 year old punk off the streets anyday.

Oh, my bad, I thought oyu were saying the opposite. I thought you were saying that strength is everything in a fight. :p

Of course not, it can help though, combined with speed and control.

Most definately. What I like about martial arts too is that if you quit taking classes, and you have the knowledge, you can continue training yourself. That's pretty much what I've done, since where I live it costs about a grand per year.

uhhh... since this thread has gone slightly off topic... I sugest we make a poll:
What should he do?
a. Talk to police/parents
b. Use non-lethal protections
c. Lethal Protection
d. Hide/pretend to be invisible

I vote A.

I vote for option A as well... it's what I'd do.

B. Kick their ***.

Meh...advising violence is a bad idea in this situation. This kid is obviously not "crazy" as I would call it. If it were me, I would use violence but quite frankly, if you don't have it in you, it's not the best path. I've seen many people get stomped or stabbed for ****ing with the wrong people. To me, these people don't seem that crazy. They are rich kids with a gangster mentality, but they ain't ****. I know people who sell crack everyday on east hastings (vancouver) and those are the people you really can't **** with. Rich kids in highschool who think they are hardcore because they pack switchblades? That's nothing. But quite frankly, I don't think you are up to even that. My advice to YOU -the legal way out (ie: parents/police)

Oh ya, I forgot, if you want to, I strongly suggest buying bear spray. It's expensive, but it's extremely potent, and by that I mean it will stop ANYONE from attacking you. Plus it doesn't take much balls to use besides pressing the button. It's the weapon of choice in my area for good reason.

After reading everything, I vote A.

Physical leverage > All

Brazilian Ju-jitsu ftw! :p

Oh, and I vote for A and B.

A

Btw, where did the starter of this thread go, anyways?:o

I'd slash their tires. Spray paint theirs cars and egg their houses.. Get them all fired up to do something stupid. Don't ever let them find out it was you though. Big, strong, rich kids that pick on others are dumb.

Lift some weights, take a karate class, and the next time they try something, kick em in the balls.

I vote A.

Assuming A doesn't work (A being my first choice), I'd go with a combination of B and D -- try to avoid trouble, but be prepared with the pepper spray and/or other protections.


See attachment...

(On a side note, while I was searching, I stumbled upon this :D)

We should form the massassi militia, and go to mexico to take em out!

¡'URAH!

you should find a way to keep retractable daggers in your shoes, SPECTRE-style.

JDKNITE188, good idea, or in your fist like on Republic Commando.

sawed off shotgun to the groin.

easily done.

I thought that stuff could kill a human?

That's why it's so effective.

Hahaha. That's a great movie.
