when my dad served on the army he was at is top he is clever and know animals. he was able to win over a german shepherd of course he thought that why he choosed to fight like that to be honest that seem superiour to many fighters. if i was stuck on a thing like that (once i scared off a pit bull,risky but worth the risk) i'd act like a baboon it worked for me and my dad today we are fat ,stuipd ,boring,lame, with no sence at all and domestic douche bags some stand higher and better and some just don't...

Making yourself appear not worth the risk is certainly a good idea, but you can't just expect to do that every time without the dog calling your bluff. My father also served in the military, and despite it being so long ago, he's still in relatively good shape. He has two big dogs that I enjoy wrestling with, and once I was actually bitten (it wasn't serious or anything; it was merely a bite the dog would normally apply to another dog). When fighting a dog, I utilize my arms to control their head. The only dog I got my behind kicked by was our friend's American Akita . He is absolutely massive. The funny part is he didn't even try to bite me; he simply shoved me to the ground. It was pretty funny.Aaaaanyways, it's always good to know how an animal you see daily fights. I have no doubt your father beat a GS, as I can wrestle my dad's yellow [specifically the shade of fox red] Labrador to the ground. But humans, in my general and changeable opinion, are not exactly good fighters unless we have an "unnatural" weapon. |

how much do you weigh? wrestling a dog isn't impressive. becuase they are poor at it but it is fun the dog was set free and chased my younger brother as a loving protecting figure i chased the dog my self holding my hands up and shouting "i am a cat fear me" it worked he tried to tackle me but i maked a sharp turn shout louder the dog thought i was superiour so i am sure i can hold a good fight becuase i know the animal i know how hard to hit yet as a child i don't favor me agianst a pit

I am about 58-59 kilos (about 130-ish pounds). And wrestling a dog varies on impressability, depending on the size and status of the dog. It's not impressive to mess with, say, a chihuahua, but it's very impressive to wrestle with the bigger breeds and come out on top, especially as a smaller person at 15. Just because you make yourself look like the more dominant opponent, your skills would still need to be spot-on if the dog tries to contest you. Again, making yourself look superior is vastly different than truly being superior. |

I agree for the most part....A large and well trained Human with the right fighting ability and mindset (and most importantly game-plan) can be a tough challenge for many large animals (predators and herbivores alike)....However there are also some predators that I have a hard time seeing Humans win against (atleast most of the time)..... Styles make fights....As you said grappling (mainly through position/body control and then strangulation) is the best/only strategy for any Human trying to kill or disable any large predator or herbivore...I cant see strikes or blunt force trauma being effective with just fists/elbows and feet alone (picking up a pipe/log/bat and swinging it repetitively is a different story).... Big Cats just seem like a bad style match up for Humans....I can't really see a Human grappling/controlling and then choking a Leopard, Puma, or Jaguar to death without receiving massive injuries and potentially dying from blood loss...Felines are also great at fighting off their back and maneuvering out of disadvantageous situations....Its pretty rare for any animal to just pin a Feline down to the ground like that....Their incredible flexibility allows them to escape (twist/turns etc) out of even really bad fighting positions.... I think Humans fair (style wise) better against Dogs for sure...It would be easier to pin a Dog to the ground and strangle it ....or control a Dogs legs/back and strangle it from behind....without getting massively bitten/scratched up in the process...

I doubt a human is going to beat a dog equal in weight to them. Clearly they've never tried restraining a Mastiff without a tool. |

To be honest, though a canine is easier to control and best, I'd rather take my chances with a cat. It'll be bloody and suck horrendously to go through definitely; but I'd rather risk death by cat then death by dog/wolf, I doubt that I'll need to explain why. |

Is it cause the canine will start eating you alive but the feline will graciously kill you first? |

Oh I doubt a cat would care too much but yeah seems to be less chances of hamstringing and evisceration. Loads more lacerations but yeah. |
