An untrained ultra athletic male may not know how to throw a punch better than a guy 50 pounds lighter than him. I think strength isn't near as much a factor as people think. A 300 pound body builder may be able to bench 500 pounds, but if he can't throw a punch or block correctly, he's likely toast against someone like bruce lee.

Chimps are built differently so their brute force may be seen as more of an advantage, but a chimp's untrained mind will have many limitations of the 300 pound body builder. They don't know how to punch with their full body weight, they don't know how to throw their body. They just reach for you and rip wildly. If you know exactly how something is going to attack, you can know how to respond. Foresight, planning, accuracy.

The chimp would still win handily, they fight to the death, no logic needed. If a man came within 5 ft of the chimp it would be over.

That drunk dude is just fucking around in the monkey moat, dipping his open wounds in the sludge.

Seems like that would sober you up.

Hmm... chimp vs. German Sheppard? I figure if it comes to it, a Human could likely take down the dog, so I'm guessing the likely conclusion is the chimp could take the dog?

Ooooh, how about chimp vs. anaconda? Could the chimp concievably rip it apart or beat it to death?

I would say a dog would have a better chance than a human.

Animals fight like animals. A dog would pounce on the chimp and sink it's teeth into his neck.

A human trying to throw punches at a chimp isn't going to work to well.

A trained fighter could do what to a chimp? punch it in the face and just make it more mad? You're not going to knock out a chimp, guys. Whens the last time you saw a wild animal knocked out?

Choke out? ummmm, not before it gouges your eyes out, rips the skin off your arms, and breaks and rips off your fingers.
 
Depends on whether or not the martial artist is armed. A one hit kill weapon like a katana? The martial artist has one shot to win. Unarmed? The chimp takes it.

the eyes, the balls (sorry guys), the throat. Our circulatory/nervous system is similar enought to a chimps that a lot of pressure points would still apply.

They aren't. They are just more efficient/flexible with their movements.

I also read somewhere before that the apes have greater bone density than a typical human, so it's not just their muscles that are tougher.

Strength is more of a factor than anime would have you believe. Trying to block or redirect isn't going to work if the chimp is immensely stronger than you. You don't even make a good case for the human winning considering that their strategy is "planning".

Ok what about a martial artist who is having a mental break down and is temporarily insanse vs a chimp butler that's a little bit more docile than a regular chimp because he's been smoking cigars since he was a baby.

they have to or else they'd snap their own bones with their strength. just like powerlifters have more bone density.
 
Elite fighters can put a pretty ridiculous amount of force into a strike. As long as the martial artist didn't try to grapple, he'd have great shot.

The chimp. Of course it's the chimp. Ignoring the extra strength even, how the hell do you martial arts yor way out of a bite from this:

Let's make it more interesting:
Chimp martial artist
Vs
Fat dude with a gun

Within 30 feet? The chimp.

By the time you've reached and grabbed the balls, eyes, or throat, a bunch of your shit is already fucked up.

That guy in the water just let the thing eat his arm off, the lady probably just let it pummel it and have at her. I'm talking top tier fighter for a living martial arts master.

Okay, step by step, best case scenario for the martial artist, he sneaks behind the chimp and drop kicks the back of its head.

If that doesn't immediately incapacitate the chimp, the guy is dead.

If they grapple, chimp wins.
If they exchange blows, chimp wins.
If it's a speed/evasion thing, chimp wins.

How do you see the martial artists winning?

The problem is if you miss a one-shot KO you're essentially guaranteed an injury, whether it's from a bite or some other manner. Even Jon Jones can take a few minutes to deal with an opponent. What if his arm or hand muscles are shredded in a bite from a missed punch?

Name me an instance you know where it's not some old lady who owns chimps as pets.

Do some research. You'll find plenty of gruesome stories. Chimp fucked this man up, who was on a chimp farm. He just looked at the monkey wrong. Monkey fucking ate his fingers, went for his eyes, and genitals. The dude survived.

Now people shoot at eat chimps on the regular. But you won't see them challenge a chimp to do anything but dodge bullets.

Do I even have to point to the pressure point?

dude you wanna kick that monkey in the balls? you go ahead. I wouldn't do it for 10 million dollars.

I would instantly rip my kimono off and throw it over the chimp. While it was blind, confused, and trapped I would start pounding that mother fucker to death.

A chimp isn't going to go toe to toe - it's going to grapple and it's going to close in extremely fast and jump straight into the fighter's face. The fighter can't block or parry because the chimp has two hands and two feet to grab whatever arm the fighter puts up. It would be a very lucky strike to get in a blow that incapacitates a charging chimp.

A chimp doesn't know how to evade or use it's speed. It has potential to use more, but it's lack of focused power would limit a lot of it's advantages in certain situations. A chimp can run away, but it can't block a punch. Guys can punch through bricks. Guys can kick with incredible force. If they dodged a chimps pummel, a martial artist would have the advantage.

What if we give the human meth, coke, and bath salts?

I'll also allow it. It's human nature to use drugs.

Doesn't matter, man. The brute strength of a chimp plus their play to kill and maim tactics will destroy any unarmed human.

Punching a chimp is going to be completely ineffective, what the fuck am I reading. It sounds as insane as trying to punch a Rhino to the ground.

You're all assuming the chimp wants to fight.
Alright, wait. Do they all want to fight?

Chimps are extremely aggressive. I'd prefer to be locked in a cage with a Gorilla than a Chimp.

A brick isn't unevadable and it can't tear your body parts off easily. But hey, if a guy can focus for 15 seconds in a kata stance and then punch while the chimp stands still, maybe the guy can deliver a skull crushing punch, I'll give you that.

would love to see a huge silverback beat up on some poachers!

But the chimp would win against the martial artist for threads sake!

They're very aggressive and i'd imagine when you start attacking the chimp that might just piss them off.

I don't think you're grasping the level of difference in strength between a human (even an incredibly well trained one) and a chimp. Bunching through a brink isn't impressive and i have to laugh at the idea that somehow that qualifies you for fighting a chimp.

After ripping your dick off the chimp would use your newly created gaping vagina as a cigar holder.

What are you expecting the connected punches to do? The chimpanzee skull has a thick, small brain case, tucked behind a thick brow ridge, nestled in thick cords of neck muscle. Not to mention the blind animal fury they fight with. The chimp will hardly notice any punch as he instantly grabs and effortlessly de-digitizes/castrates you the moment you're within reach.

Chimps can rip apart spider monkeys with their bare hands. That is much more impressive than punching through dried clay lol.
