What skills and knowledge would I need to defeat a gorilla in hand to hand combat?

So, you’re sayin’ my romantic zoo-in-the-rain date would have gone better if I threw it back?
:slight_smile:

Ninja skills, Bow Hunting skills, Computer skills… :smiley:

I’ll get my coat…

Were those regarded as unprovoked attacks?

Well no, actually he had help from someone more experienced in fighting gorillas.

Any decent martial arts system will teach you what you need, because it will teach you to avoid conflict: RUN!

Apparently that is bad advice

You sure about that? I’ve read where people have been bitten and/or attacked, but nothing even approaching the chimps’ smackdown of St. James Davis.

Important caveat I left out/forgot: I think he said only one verified unprovoked attack in the wild. A gorrilla got loose in the Dallas zoo in 1998 and again in 2004 and bit and injured a few people each time. So, maybe stay out of tall grass and zoos.
