Could you take your father down if you had to?

This is just a

thread.

I'll start.

No, I am 34 and my dad is 60, but due to his career in brick work and mine in computers, he would break me in two. So for me, I'd run like hell.

I would not have to take him down, the booze does that every single day...

Me: 135 lbs. Dad: needless to say, I weigh 135 lbs. and haven't done a hard day's work ever.

Fair match: me vs. my sister.

I'm a bit taller than him but he still calls me the little one

To answer the question though I think we'll be about the same if we ever did get in a serious fight. On all other occasions he wins though, just because he is my dad.

Family toughness hierarchy:

Dad > Grandad > Girlfriend > Me > Mum.

Well I guess a kick in the nuts can put any man down, but to say your girlfriend can kick your ass.. Well you must of grown up in a tough neighborhood thats all I can say.

Watch me marry some lady that can eat me alive

I can't imagine getting into a fight with/hurting my Dad.

He and I are like this.

On the other hand, my Mom could use a good smack from time to time.

I can beat up all your dads. And mine.

I can beat up all your dads with mine.

this would have been a good question to ask if nearly all of the posters in this forum were the age of 6-10, whom probably have dads who aren't dealing with as many health problems as ours

My dad likes tacos.

I am my own dad.

Yeah, I think I could kick the shit out of my dad at this point. He's had at least one heart attack, and all kinds of other shit though, and is approaching 70. He's no small man though.

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Mon May 22, 2006 11:47 am

I guess I could, but just because he's almost blind. If he could see, well, probably I still could if I managed to beat him to the ground

I was adopted and so have a different build from my dad-- I've always been a bit bigger, stronger, and faster. But he's a seriously tough dude. He ran five marathons back in the day. Waaay more endurance than I have, even now that he's in his 60s.

No.

The question for me is "when are you going to take down your dad?"

Not soon enough, but it's coming at some point. He was green beret but I think I can take him if I start hitting the bag more often.

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Mon May 22, 2006 3:53 pm

I did it when I was sixteen. I moved out the following week. He died of complications from his fifth heart attack six weeks later.

Not proud.

I don't care what anyone says, if your mom can put wrestling holds on you and even use "pressure points" there is no amount of brute strength that can win.

My mom is the reigning champion of our family by far.

DC906270 · Post by **DC906270** » Mon May 22, 2006 4:25 pm

my dad is not strong, but he is tall and long-limbed, so i would need to think of some strategy to avoid his long reach. i think he would easily be a tough opponent though. dhalsim off streetfighter

but hes not asian

Bloodreign · Post by **Bloodreign** » Mon May 22, 2006 5:51 pm

When my dad was healthy, I'd never would have messed with him, he'd have killed me. When he was drunk he wasn't a man to mess with either as he had a 12 gauge shotgun and deadly accuracy with a weapon.

Much respect to my dad though (*thumbs up*), as for my mom pfft.

With me being taller, stronger and almost twice his weight, the answer to the queston is: quite easily

Diabollokus · Post by **Diabollokus** » Mon May 22, 2006 7:26 pm

Yeah but I'd hate to do it, Guys been tough on me but I needed a bit of discipline.

More interested in fighting my brother full contact, never been able to beat his clinch/holds, despite my strength advantage.

Arcatech · Post by **Arcatech** » Mon May 22, 2006 7:30 pm

Considering my dad was some sort of wrestling champion in texas in his college days, there be NO CHANCE. He is getting up there in years though.

Man Pa you have been through some serious shit. No need to be ashamed, it's pretty inspiring someone can go through all that and still be a decent human being.

Mine just turned 55, he's got his faults as a person but he's smarter and stronger than I am

the ol' bastard.
