How would you defend yourself against a zombie in hand 2 hand combat??? Say if the zombie was about the same size and strength and you had to be careful not to end up getting infected or bitten?

Explain how exactly you'd defend yourself???

You never go hand to hand with a zombie unless you are one of the power rangers. Duh.

What happens when an unstoppable object strikes an immovable object?

stand-off capable with an optional MAD button
and little tasers too

Eyes,throat,testicles.....

Even a small woman can beat off an attacker if she is determined.

And get close. Watch UFC, you can take the advantage of size away by getting close and go for the weakest spot you can get. Act like an animal not a human.




edit- zombies. You could keep some brain in your pocket. When you see a zombie, toss it and run.

All I need to do is out run you...no need for hand for hand combat.

I win.

Rope, thick packing twine, or wire.

loop one end, get it around an arm, throat, anything, then quick tie the other end to something secure.

Wallah. Zombie onna leash.

More zombies might require long lengths of rope, packing twine, or wire where one needs run a circle around a group to get them all caught in a loop, but, it's silent, and doesn't require the exertion of typical 'combat'.

It further does not require any physical contact that could prove infectious.

Additionally, it saves the zombie(s) for later use as a weapon against a bigger threat to your safety during a zombie apocalypse; other people.

Other people that manage to survive will likely be more dangerous than zombies.

Pfffft... Zombies?

What about evil elves, ogres, orks and dragons? Oh wait, they are just fictional things!

What's with the Zombie stuff all the time. Do people seriously believe there are real zombies? Are they on strong medication?

Thumbs in eyes, not only do you blind the opponent, but you also have control of their head (teeth) at arms length and could then snap the neck, or at least control their movements enough to toss em down.

now..if its the scratch = infection type zombie..meh, your screwed...start thinking of various ways to serve brains.

if it was your classic slower zombie. I would take off my t shirt off(simmer down ladies ) and use a step behind move wrap my tshirt around its neck from behind and pull the zombie to its back so it lands on the back of its head and procede to stomp assuming i have no open wounds on my legs and ankels if it was a fast zombie i would run untill i had chance to to use my environment to kill him. hypotheticcly speaking.

In your scenario, I'd run away. In my scenario, I'd shoot it
Now my turn, how would you defend yourself against a Bengal Tiger, Kodiak Bear or Great White Shark in hand 2 hand combat... I want exact techniques as well!

If it comes down to it you'd need leg power over anything else and then running would be priority.
Quick jabs if they get close and then a kick to get some distance to run.

It's all about getting away really, you don't want to stand and fight something like that.
If you have to kill it with your bare hands go for the vitals. Get your hands on it's fingers and break them etc..
Kick the kneecap with excessive force like you would a soccer ball, as hard as you can.

Rule #1 and rule #18 come to mind

respectively "cardio" and "Limber up"


Remember- the fat guys go first. Sorry chubby mates....

kevlar, motorcycle helmet and one of these....

How to defeat a zombie in hand to hand combat:

1) Approch the zombie. Zombies are not known to be terribly agile so this should not be a problem.

2) With a firm, twisting motion remove the zombies hands. Place them in a suitable container. Disarming a zombie uses the same motion, but requires more force.

3) The zombie, with no hands, can no longer participate in combat and will slink home to cry.

4) Savor the sweet, sweet taste of victory.

I got me a Machete at the last gun show here. Works very well. >=)
And other knives/swords. They should help too. But if I was caught off guard, I'd go to using martial arts, or the environment around me like throwing rocks, etc. Or I'd just run and parkour around the area I know so well. lol

Do a 'Michonne' and snap the jaws off the thing

Hand to hand with a zombie should definitely be avoided. Like with all self defence, it's better to shove the thing over and run to avoid getting hurt. If it falls, stamp on its head. If it stumbles, use that opportunity to get the hell out of there.

I have two words for you:

Cricket Bat

Do you really need anything else?

Pop Eye would, after eating his spinach.

Spinach doesnt have the same effects on me.
