Who would win in an all out hand to hand combat?

I thought you were going to ask about a poetry contest. (verses) Now that she has a pulser built-in, it is no contest. Even with the ammo removed, she can fight iron fist style. |

Good word, had to look it up. Really this is no contest, because they would refuse to fight. |

Absolutely. Should we also note that he is past 90 and she is well-trained in hand to hand combat. He might also not want to damage his hands, sort of valuable for a neurosurgeon. And what father would really want to swing at his daughter and vice versa? |

I think a more interesting contest would be Honor vs. Thandi.

One does have to assume that Alfred has taught her a few things through the years - until the only thing he was left with was developing tech for her.
But a serious sparring match would be upended by Allison. Behind every Alfred is an Allison saying "You hurt my baby, there will be consequences." Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

Does textev list the specifics of Alfred's training? Does he have a master himself?
