Could You Beat Your Dad In A Fight?

[gramps]

This is a question that has alway deeply concerned me. There are some obvious heavy psychological dimensions to the idea of beating the man who concieved you in raw, unarmed combat.

Personally, I'm not so sure. I mean I've got to have about twenty pounds on my dad, but recently he fought off two muggers on the mean streets of Windhoek. Old man just hit in the head with a screwdriver. To be realistic, I think it would have to involve some sort of ambush. I'd probably employ a bolo of some kind.

What about you guys, if the cards were down, could you put pops down for the count? I want methodology, theoretical play-by-play, psychological ramifications, the works. Is your dad Rampage Jackson? Could you get him while he naps before the Blitzer Report?

[DüM]

good thread.

and I could not.

[powerviolence]

I like this thread

I am adopted, and my foster dad is old and like 60 years old; i could probably whoop his ass back to the stone age

but my biological dad is an ex body builder and would kill me in like a second

[Ahlvahroe]

no way in hell would i ever be able to beat my dad, while he is not in the greatest shape right now, hes done physical labor his entire life so he is alot stronger then i am. also he was a soldier in the army so ill assume that he has some fight training behind his belt, while ive been behind a book and computer all my life. while he did show me how to take care of myself if shit goes down, i would definitely get mashed by him.

I'll never know....

[who8mahrice]

I'd like to think my years of Tae-Kwon-Do and sports has allowed to become a better fighter than my dad who's 30 pounds lighter and 30 years older. But he grew up dirt poor on the streets of Vietnam...so maybe he's got a fighter in him. I know I'm not savage enough to fish for frogs in sewers, lol.

[Jkissi7]

my dad still thinks he could beat me .. but seriously i would let him win for he could sleep better... picture getting beat up by your son lol epic

[Jkissi7]

Literally LMAO AT sound effects ^^

[Bill2]

Hell no. My Father is nearly 60 and a recent cancer survivor, but he would whip my ass I bet. Don't discount hidden old man strength

[B-Dawg]

my dad was a navy seal, i'm a classical guitarist. i'd get owned, obviously, but i'd also be worried of breaking/hurting my hands. i'd probably have to resort to the dirty tactics and go for the loins from which i was conceived...

[skistar]

without dirty tactics, my dad would end me.

[RHJS]

I luled at topic

but yeah I almost fought my dad but he won because he took a knife out on me.

gg

[chromesquared]

Haha, great topic. I actually cracked one of my dad's ribs when we were fucking aroud one time (and my mom was freaking out somewhere nearby), but my dad has prob about 30 lbs and 5 inches on me, so my money would be on him to kick my ass.

[Halifamous]

My dad works out more than I do.

I mean, honestly, I think he'd win, no bullshit.

[lestat]

now that my dad is retired i can take him on with ease. but if it was back in the days when my dad was in HK, then im a dead man. he'd fuck my ass up with both arms behind his back

[selbsttatig]

Not right now; no.

I'm right around 145 and he's something like 200. If I had kept doing martial arts for the last two years it might have been possible, but tough.

[Servo2000]

Absolutely not.

[Gilead]

Before? No, but he's got a real bad back and he's like, 60 now, so I probably could these days.

[salaryman]

Don't think so. Pops has killed a moose, three chinamen, santa claus, the easter bunny , and childhood happiness all with his bare hands.

[lithiumsys]

Both of my dads are or have been professional martial artists.

so no.

[Eason]

My dad is 5'6" and probably 135 lbs soaking wet. He cycles all the time so he has zero body fat, and all his muscle is in his thighs. I have 5 inches on him and another 20 lbs of muscle, I doubt sometimes if he is my real father. So, yes.

[superBobo]

I dont know, my dads close to 60 and starting to get old, but on the other hand he´s been in construction for his whole life and obviously is a real strong and stubborn dude. Im 25 cm taller and probably 10 kg´s heavier than him though, might give me the advantage. And i dont know how much of a fighter he´s been either, while ive been in kyokushin ("knock down") karate for a couple of years..

[Wesley Pipes]

My dad is about 6'6 250 lbs so he would pretty much put hands on me. But I'm scrappy so it might take a while before he catches me. I would probably strip down and grease up, but inevetibly I would still get the bizness.

[ilovefriedchicken]

physically im no match but even if i was my ingrained asian confucianism will take over and force my body to lose.

[sungrak]

i fought my dad once.

needless to say, to get to that point emotionally is pretty serious,

so when i got there, i was literally flailing like a pansy boy.

i was also 14.

but now?

let me wake him up when i get home.

ill get back to you guys on that one.

[Topik]

I'm 6'1 165 and my dad is 6'5 250ish. I think I could keep my distance long enough to throw some leg kicks and get a couple jabs but once he gets his hands on me I'd be fucked.

[pantheist]

definitely not.

[Charlie Delta]

I kicked my dad in the crotch once when I was younger, that took him out for a while...

[broneck]

I think my dad could punch me much harder than I could punch him, but I know I could get a nice headbutt in there pretty quickly.

"Look dad, I don't wanna figh-WHAM!!!!!

break his goofy polish nose for the 3rd time in his life

(oh, Dolly's dad would kick the shit out of me)
