I think we'd all agree, one of the most beautiful and rewarding relationships life has to offer is that of a father and his son. It will be an honor for you to damage such a union. Let's begin.
You know that old myth about twins? How, if you hurt one the other will feel pain, and vice versa? (Popularized though probably not originating with G.I. Joe's evil twins, Tomax and Xamot... That's right, there's something curious about those names isn't there? Look closely at them. In fact, write one of the names down on a piece of paper, go into your bathroom, and hold the piece of paper up to the mirror. Now look at the person holding the piece of paper. That person is a zero.)
That myth about twins isn't true, but it kind of applies to fighting father and son teams. Because they have feelings for each other, because they care about each other so strongly, hurting one will hurt the other (I'm not talking, like, magic or anything. If you break the father's pinkie the son won't feel pain in his pinkie, he'll merely feel awful overall. I don't know about you, but I'll take it). Use this to your advantage.
Approach the father and slap him as hard as you can. This will freak the shit out of the son. While the son is distracted, quickly slap him, which will likewise freak the shit out of the father (Unsure about this? Picture some guy slapping your father in his dad-face. Awful, right?) Repeat this until both father and son's faces are tear-soaked, red and raw as uncooked hamburger, and begging for mercy. This method only works on fathers and sons that get along. If they don't get along, you'll need to keep reading.
Now, the father and son team who despise each other is a much tougher foe than the happy-household variety above. First of all, hurting one has no effect on the other one, and may even make the other one happy. Second, the kid will fight twice as hard in order to earn the grudging respect of the absentee father who never loved him. He'll be anxious to show off the punch that his mother's "special friend" taught him as a reward for not making a fuss when he had to crash with them that one time for a couple of weeks while waiting for his bike shop to get off the ground. The dad will also be fighting hard as he'll be anxious to show his good-for-nothing kid the old man's "still got it."
Divide and conquer, that's how you take out these two. Temporarily incapacitate the dad, (Are you regularly carrying a small vial of mysterious powder you can throw into the eyes of your enemy to blind them? You really should be. They're easily concealable, cheap, and quite effective. Legendary wrestling manager Mr. Fuji built an entire career on this tactic. Don't tell me you think you're better than Mr. Fuji?) then concentrate on the son. His shock at seeing his father blinded and fumbling around with his hands out while screaming "Damn it, Billy, what's happening?! You need to be my eyes!!" will have him at 85% effectiveness. That should be enough of a disadvantage for you to dispatch him, after which you can quickly finish off the father...
I guess you could blind both of them and then just have fun punching them and turning them in circles, but that hardly seems fair.
