Republic of College 2 vs 3 Tap FC attack with raised fists. But this does put them at the risk of not creating enough distance between them and these potential threats. So while martial artists have fighting abilities which may be helpful, it does not guarantee survival.

Hockey players, golfers, and cricketers all have one thing in common: they could smack the wind out of a zombie if its lungs still required air. The use of a stick, club, or bat in the respective sports speaks to the amount of upper body strength they have developed, not to mention their accuracy. Each athlete’s swing is different and harnesses a different advantage. Cricketers bat balls that travel up to 40 m/s, which decreases the reaction time in their swings, allowing for quick takedowns if they find themselves in a one-versus-many situation.
