In a fight to the death, who would win? A peak teenager male, versus a peak grown woman?

[Anonymous]

Hand-to-hand, fight to the death.

R1: Both of them are average people.

R2: The teenager is a college level boxing and wrestling champion, the woman is a amateur Krav Maga.

R3: The teenager is a amateur kickboxer, the woman has a black belt in Taekwondo.

Bonus R4: They have to kill each other with medieval armour and weapons.

R1: Assuming he is average, and not a nerd or something the teen likely has more experience and aggression and would win 9/10 times. The 1 for if he gets overconfident.

R2: Without rules, despite her fighting style being more lethal if she is able to flip the "kill or be killed" switch quickly enough she gets knocked out quickly. Otherwise, she wins with poking his eyes and repeatedly kicking him in the nuts.

R3: Taekwondo is ineffective against opponents who aren't using taekwondo, 7/10 for him. 3/10 if he slips up and gets a heel kick in the face.

R1 - Man probably wins.
R2 - Depends on luck, Krav Maga has no rules, even if she is an amateur, a single lucky strike can end the fight.
R3 - Black Belt in Taekwondo woman has the advantage, but still depends on the level of black belt (1st dan, 2nd dan, 3rd dan etc) and on her experience in full contact fights.
R4 - Medieval armour and weapons are usually heavy, man has the advantage.

I'm going with the teenage male for all those scenarios. They can be strong as fucking oxen at that age and have stamina like nothing you've seen.

What about in R3 where he is amateur but she is pro level? doesn't the martial art leverage that. another commenter said that taekwondo doesn't work thou

[joanofarcher]

She has a black belt in R3. That doesn't mean she competes at a professional level. And its still not enough of equalizer to match someone with a height, weight, reach, and muscle mass advantage who has also fighting experience. A black belt in TKD may enable her to get her ass kicked in a semi dignified manner, but won't do much else. If we're being honest she'd probably fold psychologically once she saw the speed, striking power and stamina she was up against. She would just be fighting to hold on for as long as she could. She wouldn't be able to inflict any real damage on him.

[Asker]

Wouldn't a black belt be able to strategise strikes to weak points like the neck or groin while defending?

[joanofarcher]

Her strikes wouldn't have to power to incapacitate him that way. All it would do is piss him off. Despite what TV and movies show us, its not that easy to take a guy out with a shot to the nuts, especially if they are squared up and anticipating it. Guys instinctively know to protect their nuts in a fight. Its probably their first priority. My ex once told me his would actually partially retract when he got into a fight or his adrenaline starting pumping. Nature's way of protecting them I guess. Either way, the only time that seems to work is if you catch the guy completely off guard/unaware.

I remember seeing this about soccer. A high school team of soccer players beat a team of pro women's soccer players. But that's soccer. In fight to death? Depends if there was training involved.

Out of curiosity why ask this question? Did you challenge a guy to a fight or have fought/wrestled a guy before?

And my vote would be for the guy in all scenarios.

[Asker]

My teenage brother and my best friend were discussing who would win between them if they fought. She grew up in a rough part of town and has beaten guys before, but they did not have his training. She is also trained

[Zack1992]

Why not have a wrestling match or something to settle it?

[Asker]

Because he is heavier and stronger than her, and her moves mostly target vital points, so they both agreed win or lose, and both of them are unwilling to risk trying it

If this was about who could out fuck whom it’d be the woman hands down

[Anonymous]

No rules death match the guy wins easily.
