I have to agree with Laz here... Attack a joint to get it down

ex: My right foot to the inside of your left knee... Leg is broken at the knee

After the zombie falls I would run/jump/hop and skip my happy @$$ over him and get the hell outta there. Screw worrying about the other 1,2,3 zombies that are left. So long as the one I took down gave me an opening I'm gone. Considering I have no gun or weapons aside from my hands.

I have to laugh at the post about ripping the head off...who is this guy the incredible hulk? Thats just a rediculous suggestion in and of itself.

I also have some training in a martial art and been in enough actual fights where I was out number to know that real life is no movie and any martial artist will agree you do what you have to, to remove yourself from the situation. Disable and move forward...One can only fight for so long, and even 1-2 minutes of fighting can be seriously exhausting. Take into account how pumped on adrenaline you would be and how scared out of your mind you would be and you had better just do what you need to do to escape...otherwise in my opinion you get what you deserve.
I was the one talking about "riping the head off".
No im not the incredible hulk.
Yes i was joking about "riping the head off"(dont say it wouldnt look kickass :P).
You don't ever fight with your fists, you can get much more power with open palms or your elbows. You have a much smaller risk of damaging yourself too.

The only time you should be using your hands and feet against a zombie is with your back up against a wall and no where to run.
I would use their momentum against them. Step to the side, trip them as they pass. Just basic self defense stuff.
I say a good round house kick to the head or the knees will incapcitate the Zeds while you ca run away.
I agree.
That is awsome.
i would`nt like to grapple with a zed all that rotting flesh and kicking the head could throw yourself off balance in a fracas so i`d have to go with a good hard kick to the knees putting the zed down long enough for you to grab a suitable weapon or head for the hills .. :)~
Nothing quite like a steel toe to the side of the head or a vicious fist between the eyes to disable any humanoid. I realize the fist wouldn't very likely kill it, but it would sure as hell topple one, being they have no reflexes and wouldn't catch themselves or even stumble back, basically like punching a mannequin in the head. As for grappling, if at all thats a very temporary solution, unless your breaking a neck to disable it. As for armour, chainmail (which is actually not that hard to make, if you know what your doing all you need is a pair of fence cutters, wirer and a half inch wooden dowel.) works wonders against bites, so long as your wearing full sleeves underneath it, I also recommend fully waterproof knee high boots, and some kind of steel plating on all of your striking limb surfaces. Meaning toe to knee, shoulder to fist, and possibly even your head, but in that situation I reccomend some kind of headgear regardless, with tac com if possible. SO LONG AS YOU DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF DOWN, and thus defeat the purpose.
Or just bike gear: flexible, kevlar, bite proof, waterproof, easy to find etc...


No need for plate armour as it weighs a ton and makes a lot of noise. The only thing you need to protect against is bites, not swords strikes or bullets etc...

As for punching between the eyes to kill someone, only in the movies, and only bad ones lol. The only strikes you should ever do with full force is with an open palm. Even then unless you hit the nose in the right place you are not going to kill them.
Yes thats what I mean, it won't kill them but it'll knock them over. Good idea with the bike gear, hadn't thought of that.
A general knowledge of the human anatomy helps, along with some experience in martial arts * Specifically those that utilize momentum more then strikes, I'd recommend Akido*

Aim for the knees. While an immobile zombie is still a threat, it can significantly increase the likelyhood that you'll escape unharmed. Also, a big factor is to pay attention to your surroundings. When cornored, anything can become a weapon. We're not just talking pipes and bricks here either. Walls, lamp posts, sidewalk ledges, all of which can be used as a surface to toss an assilant into, duck behind/around, cause the zombie to stumble over make a clean getaway.
