How old is too old to get punched?

[Fedorgasm]

Let's say some young guy is being a total dick, and you can't take it anymore, you gotta punch him.

Not punching him is not an option. Maybe he grabbed your wife's tit. Maybe he grabbed your tit. Maybe he disagreed with you in the war room...

Whatever your own personal threshold might be for punching someone, this guy definitely crossed it.

Now, same scenario, but the dude looks like he's around 50 years old. Do you still hit him?

What if he looks 60?

What if he looks 70 or 80?

At what age do you draw the line and not hit the guy?

Violence does not discriminate by age

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

I passed an old guy on a bike, who was slow and swerving everywhere, so I took it slow.

I saw him gobbing off, but he looked frail, so I just drove off.

As I looked in my left side mirror, I saw him flip me off.

I was tempted to pull over.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

I'm getting up there myself, so everyone is fair game now.

 

[RoastBeast]

I'd say hold off on the uppercuts if they can order off the senior menu at Dennys.

 

[Spam On Rye]

All depends on the situation.

 

[ROKKO]

I feel it depends on MY age. If I'm 20 I'm not hitting an 80 year old. Now if I'm 60 then the last applesauce is mine!

 

[SirRealKiller]

I don' think it's necessarily an age thing as much as a how likely you are to seriously hurt someone type of thing. I wouldn't punch a woman because I have damn near hospitalized men with a punch before. Now guys are difficult to judge. I have seen some guys in their 60's that are still units and others that are already getting frail. I think guys in their 70's are generally all off limits.

My general rule is if they're more than 10 years older than me (and i'm 50) I'm doing everything I can to avoid punching them unless they look like a complete unit then it becomes more of a legit threat.

As for the guys in their 50's, these guys are still potentially a threat. Most men do not lose a lot of strength in their 50's. They might be a little slower and might not be able to stay in the fight if it goes a long time but they can definitely still throw hands at that age. I'm 50 and still pretty confident I could quickly take out most guys much younger than me. But I was a Division 1 wrestler and trained Boxing and BJJ up until the last few years.

I can’t risk killing anyone while I’m on probation.

I feel like we should look to McGregor for an example.

Here is my formula when I have time to calculate: Up to twice your current age. Add 10 years for every weight class advantage the old feller has, subtract 10 years for each weight class disadvantage. Add 5 years for every female family member of yours that he's offended. Subtract 5 years for every bystander with a camera.

Ask the old timer Conner punched

 

[NoSmilez]

I wouldn't punch old people. I think at most if the old person was being violent then I would grab him from behind and sit down. He will land gently on the ground and I will laugh as I do a kip up to get back on my feet.

I want to punch the fuck out of a 15 year old though. This little mfker said my biceps are not aesthetic because of my insertions. The whole time I was just like where this person's daddy so I can punch him in the mouth. That kid is lucky because I like his mom.

We're the same age and even as a full natty, I'm about the same size and strength I had as an athletic dude in my 20's and 30's though obviously less explosive and with a smaller gas tank. But in recent years I think TRT has been a game changer. I roll with 40+ dudes every week who are on it and they are for sure stronger and more aggressive than they'd otherwise be. I think some of these guys would be more dangerous in a fight in their 40's and even 50's than they would have been as a natty 30-something.

Yea I seen a couple of those old TRT guys. It's always the guys who are grey but their body is still young. Their faces are always slightly chubby and they turn really red.

How old was Chuck when he fought Franklin?

Old enough to not get hit should be old enough to know to keep his hands to himself.

Therefore ...

If he is young enough to grab my wife's tit, he is young enough to take a PASSIONATE and deeply personal ass whooping.

Yeah, a guy in his 50's that's staying fit should be considered a threat.

I coach wrestling and still dominate some pretty high level High School kids when they want to take a crack at the old man. Granted, they're not at their peak yet but I'm like 33-35 years older. Even could give some current Div 1 guys that drop in sometimes a run still. I just don't have the gas tank I used to so they usually get me after about 5 minutes of a good pace.

50's is a weird place for guys, you're definitely diminished a bit but you can still go. It's like Toby Keith said, "I'm as good once as I ever was". I think that's being 50 in a nutshell. I can go as hard and be as strong as I ever have been still but not for as long and trying to do it on a regular basis would not end well.

 

[Natural Order]

Nobody is too old to get chin checked.

It’s all on a case by case basis of course.

It's pretty magical sir.

I would not recommend to men below 40s, but for 40+ give or take, why not allow science to improve your quality of life? (Personal choice of course)

(presuming you aren't using it to hurt anyone or cheat in a non even playing field, because let's be honest everyone knows the BJJ world is juice central)
