A highly common misconception in history is that a male silverback gorilla would beat any human in a fight because of their superior strength. Well, time to debunk them.
False argument 1: Gorillas are way stronger than humans therefore a gorilla would beat a we'll trained human!
Debunking argument: Strength isn't everything in a fight. There are ways to beat people "much" stronger than you. Rule 1 is never grappling someone who is much stronger than you.
False argument 2: A gorilla has those mean teeth, it would bite you to shreds!
Debunking argument: LOL. As soon as it comes in to bite you, you could easily dig your index and middle finger into one of its eyes, or elbow its mouth, which could knock it out. Also you have teeth to.
False argument 3: Gorillas blows are very powerful, you can't block them!
Debunking argument: False, it's 100% possible to block a gorillas blows without breaking your arms.
False argument 4: If the gorilla grabs both your arms, you're done!
Debunking argument: If it grabs your arms, you can head butt its nose, that would hurt the gorilla.
False argument 5: If the gorilla charges at you, you're dead!
Debunking argument: No you're not, you could move to the side and put it in a headlock, choking it to death.
False argument 6: You can't choke a gorilla! Neck is too thick!
Debunking argument: Nope. Gorillas neck aren't that thick, you can choke them out.
Conclusion: Any good fighter can beat a gorilla without weapons.
