Title: Navy SEAL vs. Strongman in streetfight
Post by: boonstack on March 17, 2007, 12:18:31 PM
Well, let's put it like this:

6'6, 350lb+ "Strongman" vs. maybe 5'7-10" SEAL. Who'd win? Obviously a lot of factors go into play, but its supreme size vs. supreme endurance, and most seals would put a nfl running back to shame. Just a one on one hand to hand combat... I pick the seal

a punch to the throat will take out anyone no matter the size, xo I will take the Navy Seal.  Plus they are trained for combat while the strongman isn't.  If all it took was strength and size to win battles than all military combantants would take drugs and lift heavy weights all the time instead of training in many different disciplines and training for speed, agility, endurance, technique and strength to name just a few qualities of a good fighter.

I was in San Diego this weekend for spring break, we went to some club and things got a little crazy one of my friends he plays D1 defensive end 6'4" 265 started hitting on some girl. My friend is a nice guy and if he knew she was with someone he wouldn't chase it so her boyfriend gets up acting like a jack ass and starts yelling navy seal and other bull shit and hes with about 3 more dudes. My friend just starts to walk away ignoring him. The navy seal hits him in the back of the head my friend turns around head butts him and drops him cold. Two of his friends jump him but he throws one off him about 20 feet and puts the other in a headlock and starts to beat his face in. So in regards to your question maybe

a strongman and a navy seal are not equals in battle.  Now I would take a 230 pound navy seal over a 180 pound one, but even then who knows

Yeah special forces FIGHTING ability is super hyped by people who don't know any better.

The instructors are highly experienced sensais and hand to hand instructors and they get, at most, a few weeks with em.

Now tell me, if you guys sat in a karate dojo or judo dojo for 6 months would you be indestructable? 

I think not.

The strongman would most likely crush the seal by a longshot.

Yeah right... like I said everyone severely overestimates a specwar soldiers fighting ability.

Throw a strong man and a seal into a barroom brawl and the seal would prob be knocked out in no time.  Specwar training is all around combat meaning guns, demo, h2h, knives, rappelling, jumping, rescue, stealth.. but put em up in a physical contest against someone used to throwing around 3 or 4 times thier weight and is used to pain and the seal would be in for a big surprise.

Post by: Brixtonbulldog on March 17, 2007, 08:41:09 PM
Simply because an overly powerful guy can very easily make up for fighting ability.  Being able to overpower an opponent either by striking him harder, grabbing and controlling him, or manipulation of limbs isn't something that has to be "trained" and can devastate another human faster than a lot of skills can make up for.

Don't get me wrong, seals are tough.. but they're not these great fighters like you see in the movies.  H2H is a very small part in thier training.  You're over estimating what they bring to the table as a far as a fight goes.

Their are 5th degree and up black belt karate guys that have gotten their asses handed to them in the ring(MMA) against just decent wrestlers with some good ground and pound...Their isn't no seal out there that have the skills of these karate guy...That being said these Karate guys have the knowledge of the so called death punch ect and none them can pull such a thing off...And I would bet the house that some seal with minimal fighting ability is going to have an effective "death shot"...Not saying its impossible but in a legitimate fight, its the closest thing to impossible..

Strongmen are VERY strong but a Strongman and a Navy Seal usually and generally have different skillsets.

While one is specialized in lifting as much weight as possible, the other specializes in incapacitating/destroying other people.

Of course, there are many factors, the difference in size, strength, speed.

But in general, the Navy Seal have a better skillset for this kind of event (incapacitating a person).

I assume the Seal would be somewhat faster than the Strongman, and would attack his groin,windpipe and whatnot before the Strongman could lift him up and perform militarypresses with him.

There are always exceptions though, in one situation out of 10, we might have a very athletic strongman which moves faster than general and knows some fightingskills, while this Seal in question may be sloppier than normal, which would result in a victory for the Strongman.

But generally, i'd put my money on the Seals over The Strongmen.

Now, Ninjas VS Pirates, that's another question.

Strongmen are VERY strong but a Strongman and a Navy Seal usually and generally have different skillsets.

While one is specialized in lifting as much weight as possible, the other specializes in incapacitating/destroying other people.

Of course, there are many factors, the difference in size, strength, speed.

Wow, you put a lot of thought into this.

But, you can consider Navy seals as Ninjas of now a day.

Your forgetting a fight between a seal and a strongman wouldn't include weapons.  But I can only picture 50 ninjas swinging in on pirates with rappelling ropes and swords.  The pirates would be slaughtered.

lifting weights doesnt, but just bc someone is big and strong DOES NOT mean they dont know how to fight. 


Chances are they don't. How many fights have people had here? I am sure most people here aren't brawlers.

well, the open ocean is a lot different than a 100 yard field in a superdome. How many blacks compared to whites are running backs? And how many whites compared to blacks know how to swim? ;)

seals can obviously run well... AND swim.

SO are they fighting a NFL running back out in the ocean or a black strongman? ???

Most SEALs have 0 unarmed combat training.  Unless they seek it out themselves.  Give him a Sig 226, MP5, or an M4, and I'd take the SEAL.  Without weapons, the larger guy wins.  They are pretty athletic, and have major endurance, but most of the SEAL guys who have come to our school get wrecked by most of the seasoned white belts.

If the strong man has watched any MMA fighting and can take a punch...The strongman will knock the seal out within 3 to 5 minutes of fighting...All he would have to do is take the seal to the ground and use a barage of ground and pound...

If nobody stopped the fight, the strongman could kill the seal in under 5 mins...

Yes, normally strong guys are slow.

if you're fast and know the right spots to hit and are tough enough to take a blow or two, it's no problem.


Depends... Mariusz is not slow. Many K-1 fighters weight more than 110 kgs and are not slow... "One blow or two" are enough to put you to sleep, coming from a guy like Mariusz.

I was in San Diego this weekend for spring break, we went to some club and things got a little crazy one of my friends he plays D1 defensive end 6'4" 265 started hitting on some girl. My friend is a nice guy and if he knew she was with someone he wouldn't chase it so her boyfriend gets up acting like a jack ass and starts yelling navy seal and other bull shit and hes with about 3 more dudes. My friend just starts to walk away ignoring him. The navy seal hits him in the back of the head my friend turns around head butts him and drops him cold. Two of his friends jump him but he throws one off him about 20 feet and puts the other in a headlock and starts to beat his face in. So in regards to your question maybe

My brother is marine recon...a couple of years back we were in a bar fight and the huge bouncer was trying to get to me. My bro jumped on his back and put him in some kind of choke...the bouncer was walking with my bro on his back...he took 3 steps and fell to the ground. out cold. and my bro is 6 feet 190 tops. this was in SD also.
