28 kids. I'm confident I could take a few more (because I used to do it for a living), but I didn't have any previous martial arts experience - I think that hurt my numbers a bit.
It doesn't seem like any number of 5 year olds would be able to take a grown man in good shape. I mean, what can a 5 year old do to a grown man?
15 , since i don't feel comfortable fighting5 year old children. I mean, unless they were bloodthirsty zombies, I don't see why I would be compelled to fight them.
All they have to do is hit your knees or ankles enough that you drop to your knees. After that, it evens things up quite a bit. If you drop down and they are swarming, odds are they'll take you pretty fast.
