Low for me, like ten. Five year olds can be surprisingly vicious in normal settings, and in this scenario they're given a quick 1 day how to fight class by experts and are fearless and won't stop fighting unless KOed. You’re also swarmed, can’t run or hide, or use anything than yourself against them.
I’d imagine two would immediately grab at the legs and slow you down, the others holding onto the arms, punching you in the kidneys. Even miniscule stuff like if they were just pinching or tickling you is going to be bad considering there’s multiples of them. Going to be distracting as hell.
Still I think I could handle ten at once, considering if I somehow wound up in this crazy fictional scenario, my sense of morality and general well being towards children will be probably be gone at that point. I’m a heavy guy who use to take Tae Kwon Do, but I’m also out of shape and easily winded. I think I could fight ten at once, and have a decent chance of winning.
I’d probably pick one at the start of the fight just to lay out with all my girth behind a single punch. I’d imagine that wouldn’t get far before the above mentioned grabbing and attempts to pull you down while others attack. I did learn in Tae Kwon Do how it’s actually not that hard to break bones, and with five year olds, it’d be even easier. I’d figure after that I’m done with at least half of them. I’d probably be losing a lot of steam by them, but I’m pretty stocky so the actual act of knocking me out would be pretty hard for them. Between some violent thrashing, headbutting, and other nasty desperation tricks, I figure I could power through the remaining before dead tired.
Since I’ve never been in a fight with a five year at my current age, it’s kind of hard to guess. =P
