Or, you just have a low pain threshold, or you underestimate how much you can take in a LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.

as for the average human male, it really depends what region you're drawing from. your average frenchman will probably not fare well against your average german shepherd, but there's little hope for the german shepherd against your average zulu warrior. skadoosh | ||

I still think that most people will shit themselves when a big dog comes running to attack you. Regardless of that bullshit "I know someone who fought dogs said that kicking is best...", I'm sure those dogs weren't launching themselves at him, probably just running about his feet biting. BTW, tell me just what kind of kick would you do? Roundhouse? Too slow. Front kick? Most probably too weak. Teep? Good luck. Stomp? Only if you already have the dog grounded. Face it, most people don't and can't kick worth a shit. You're better off eye gouging and sticking your hand down the dog's throat. | ||

And i figure even if i miss the head i'm getting a solid body shot that is breaking at least a rib and sending the dog flailing. | ||

http://www.compfused.com/directlink/916/ Yea hes a cop, fine. Still, it shows how it could work. I voted man. Yea dogs are powerful and viscous, but if you ask me in life or death I would do some pretty horrible things too, lets not forget that humans are animals. | ||

And the dog is thinking "I figure if i miss the throat ill just land a solid body bite that is at least gettin a vein and sending the human flailing." Aint as easy as you think. | ||

to me, the average man is ~6 ft tall and weighs between 150-180 lbs. if the man isn't stupid and utlizies his HUGE WEIGHT ADVANTAGE, it's over for the dog. please don't point to those videos of trained dogs as evidence as dog > man. the dogs attack and the guys do nothing, and for good reason. for all of the dogs strength, it can't take a hit for shit. for lack of a better word, it has no durability compared to an "average man". don't kid yourself, you're going to get bitten; but use that to your advantage. a method, as painful as it is, is to let the dog grab a hold of you and then just drop on it with all your weight. your weight will fatally wound or even kill a dog. | ||

In The Sporting Magazine vol. XVIII, there is the description of a fight between the 'Gentlemen and the Bull Dog'. The Sporting Times reports on this fight, which occurred in 1807. Gentleman and the Bulldog (circa 1801)"A fight between a man and Bull Dog took place some time ago to settle a bet. With its first charge the Bull Dog already succeeded in throwing and pinning its opponent. Although the dog's jaws were nearly closed by a muzzle, it succeeded in sinking its teeth into the man's body. Had the dog not been pulled away immediately, it would have disembowelled the man." This story illustrates the outcome of a large, mastiff like dog charging its opponent. Despite the handicap of a muzzle, the dog was the winner. | ||

I was more amused by the story of the dwarf that beat a bulldog to death with his bare hands. | ||

"will"? It might and it might not. You and decaf are definetely overestimating fragility of the bones. Its not that easy to break em. In fact if youre just falling like a sack of potatoes, which you probably are, youre more likely to injure yourself. | ||

In fact if youre just falling like a sack of potatoes, which you probably are, youre more likely to injure yourself. we're just going to have to disagree. i still say that a person's weight will be the overall deciding factor. i'm not saying it's going easy, but an average man should be able to leverage himself over a dog and continually press down, elbow, and knee the dog until it's over. i thought this was a fight between an average man and a regular german shepard. why does everyone assume that the dog is some crazy aggressive, gone apeshit dog? is the dog trained or what, because most dogs don't continue to attack when they get hit. and is the man some wimp? if he knows that he's fighting for his life (average person or not), he sure as hell will put up more of a fight than some unsuspecting bystander. | ||
