Default How many 85 year olds...

Let's assume the same general rules, minus the fight training. You would have to figure that most of the 85 year olds would have inferior speed and balance, which will certainly work to your advantage. Also, they will have less stamina than the 5 year olds, as well as a slower recovery time should they get knocked over by a non-knockout blow.

How many can you take? I'm still working on a number for myself.

I'm sure my foul language alone could kill several dozen.

Depends on the venue. In an open field where I had room to maneuver, probably 200. In a racket ball court about 20.

You could probably take close to as many on the racket ball court as in the open field as long as they weren't allowed to have their dentures in. A couple dozen of them would probably go down by tripping over eachother and breaking a hip or just being unable to stand back up.

Not if this guy was one of them. I'm thinking he would have kicked 90% of the asss on this site.

I don't know if this is true since an 85 year old is probably much easier to incapacitate than a 5 year old, and probably not hugely stronger. Plus many 85 year olds won't have any teeth.

I've never spent any time with 85 year old males since I generally don't run across a lot of old people in my everyday life and all of my great uncles/grandfathers died well before reaching 85, but pretty much all of my ~85 year old female relatives have some difficulty just climbing a flight of stairs, and any kind of slip/fall would likely seriously injure them.
