How to Win a Tickle Fight
If you get into a tickle fight, you'll need to use the right techniques to win it. Go for your opponent's most sensitive areas, like the bottom of their feet, their armpits, ribs, and neck. Try to attack as many different areas as you can to keep them giggling. For example, if they hold their arms against their sides to protect their armpits, tickle their feet or their ribs. Just be careful when you tickle their feet, since they might accidentally kick you if you're too close. Try pinning their arms over their head or sitting on top of them so they can't tickle you back. If they get angry or distressed, stop tickling them and enjoy your victory.
Know how to pin your victim. Pinning your victim is crucial to your tickling success. If your opponent has free arms and legs, he will be able to get you back in no time. You must find a way to quickly pin and trap your opponent so you can exploit your tickling skills. You can try pinning your opponent a number of ways: Pin your opponent's arms over his head with your legs when he is laying down on his back. Sit on your opponent's chest and pin his arms down with your hands. Pin your opponent by sitting on his knees or grabbing his ankles when he's on his back. Pin your opponent by sitting on his back when he's on his stomach, and pushing his arms to the ground. Find the most tickle-prone parts of your victim's body. Every person's most tickle-sensitive zones are different, so you should experiment by tickling different parts of the body to see when your opponent looks the most surprised and panicked, or when he squeals, screams, and laughs uncontrollably. If the begging, pleading, and spasmodic movements increase, you know you have found your tickle sweet spot. Here are some sure-fire tickle-prone places to try: The feet, toes, and achilles tendons The belly and belly button The armpits, ribs, and sides The knees and area right above the knees The hands and palms The neck and back of the neck Have no mercy. If you're tickling so your opponent agrees to do something, don't stop until you get what you want. Whether you're tickling your opponent for control of the remote, a free massage, or a dinner date, don't stop until he gives in. Don't stop just because your opponent says, "I can't breathe!" If he's laughing and can speak, then he's still breathing. But if he really can't breathe and sounds distressed and winded, then you should stop. Put your opponent on his stomach. To get him in this position, you may start with your opponent on his back, and tickle his armpits until he turns over. Sit on your opponent's upper back while facing his feet. Keep tickling his sides so he doesn't resist. Insert your toes into his armpits or sides. You don't have to get them exactly in the armpits -- just move your feet in the general area. If you have bare feet, make sure your toenails are trimmed unless you want to scratch your opponent. Begin to tickle the armpits with the sides of your feet. Move your feet along the ribs as well. You can start tickling the lower back with your hands for maximum effect. Remember that you want to make use of all four of your limbs, so the sooner you start, the better. You can really dig in with the sides of your big toes and heels. Reach in front of you to tickle your opponent's feet. Try tickling his legs as well. If your opponent's shoes are still on, try taking them off to maximize your tickle skills. Continue tickling your opponent's feet, sides, and armpits until he gives up. Watch out for your opponent's free arms. You need to start your tickle attack pronto so he is too weakened to fight back. Make sure your opponent has been sufficiently weakened. This is a must before you attempt the ruthless Triple Tickle. You want your opponent to have no chance of fighting back. Pin your opponent on his/her back. Sit on his/her chest and pin down his/her arms. Quickly shift down to sit on his upper stomach. Release his arms as you do this. Tickle his armpits with your hands. Tickle his left armpit with your left hand and his right armpit with your right hand. Remember to act quickly so your opponent doesn't have time to fight back with his free hands. He should be so weakened that he doesn't even remember that his hands are free. Start rubbing your chin on your opponent's neck, ribs, and stomach. Remember that this is pretty intimate, so you shouldn't try this tickle move on someone you don't know very well. If your opponent is shirtless, try a raspberry on his stomach. Face the victim. Ideally, you should both already be lying down on the floor, a bed, or another soft surface. Put the victim on his back with his feet toward you. You can do this at the beginning of your tickle fight, or after executing some other tickle tactics. The Triple Tickle is an especially effective warm-up move for the Double-Foot Tickle, because you'll already have your opponent on his back. Squat in front of the victim's feet. You should be facing the soles of his feet. Grab one of his ankles with one arm. Tighten your grip. Tickle the soles of the opponent's two feet with your free hand. Take turns between the two feet, and really try to tickle the area in the middle of his foot, which is the most sensitive. Be prepared to shift around. Your opponent will try to kick his legs and whip his body, so get ready to shift to the right and left as your opponent wildly flails before giving up. Make sure to keep your face at a distance from your opponent's feet. You want to win a tickle fight, not lose your front tooth. Pin your opponent on his back. This is another great move to try after you've already debilitated your victim with a few tickle moves. Sit on his chest. Keep your knees at his sides. Grab his arms with your arms. Wrap a firm hand around each of his wrists. Lift your body until your knees are on his chest. This will take some shifting around. Tickle his chest and stomach with your knees.  Tickle his armpits and ribs with your knees. You can alternate between the chest and stomach and the armpits and ribs. Gauge your opponent's reaction to see which tickle tactic is the most deadly. Once your opponent is ready to give up, give his wrists and forearms a firm tickle. Just make sure your opponent is debilitated at this point, or he'll be able to fight back with his hands.
