Don't be silly. Of course there is. Simply... release the tiger. The  
great advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that he eats not  
only the fruit-laden foe, but also the red currants. Tigers, however,  
do not relish the peach. The peach assailant should be attacked with  
a crocodile.

some red currants...
