Having been directed to the conversation, I must offer my opinion. Your strength is in your stability - if you move around too much, you are liable to trip on the children already "out." Plus, they will have the ability to gain position on you in a period of unbalance. The key is to get as close to a wall as possible and stay in a solid base. As you begin knocking them out, pile their little bodies around your legs. This will force them to either shove the bodies into you as a distraction (unlikely as they are not strong and the number of bodies should be too great)or climb the pile of bodies - leaving them even more vulnerable. You should strike with the palm of your hand, elbow, and occasionally fist. Grab the neck or collar with one hand and strike swiftly to the temple with the other. This will conserve energy. The problem will be the first 10-15 minutes. You will have to fight ferociously to position yourself near a wall and knock enough out to begin the knocked out kids buffer. Also, make sure you build the wall behind you - this will create a buffer in case you get pushed back.
