This is HOW TO SURVIVE Fighting Multiple Attackers
As high as 90% of #selfdefense Coaches out there are full of S*&t When they talk about this subject Because they simply don't have the real world experience. I have lived it more than once and this is how I survived. Some of you guys out there have experience with it as well. Drop your wisdom down in the comments if you have lived it too.

Been in martial arts 37 years grew up in the damn war zone ghetto and I can vouch for this information. This is the way guys mobility and don't play their game. Play yours. Stay off the damn ground and for those that always wanted to know why rolling was something they taught in certain martial arts this video shows you exactly why.

I got total F-up by multiple attackers outside a shady nightclub in the 90s. I was taking down to the ground and stomped and kicked. I had No chance of getting up, I just curled up and took it. When it was over i had a broken jaw, bumps and bruises every where ,ribs face all f-ed up. If you can run, then run.

Yeah. Sometimes you're just SOL. Well said

[@jcar1417]

Something similar happened to me but I was lucky, I got a hold of a guy and took him down with me and used him as a shield, his buddies were kicking him have the time and he was screaming at them to stop. I had tried to avoid, then descalate, tried to escape, but got blocked unintentionally by a group that wasn’t aware of what was going on. Get out at the first sign of trouble, your ego is not suit of armour.

[@TheProfessorExplains]

As someone who has been in far more fights than my name would suggest, every word he said is 100% accurate. I’ve dealt with multiple attackers three times in my life and talked my way out of two, while using my brain and some brutality to get out of the last one. The first time I was about 19 and a huge hit head. About 15 guys were messing with my friend so I went out there with a screwdriver. I told them that they were going to win but I was going to kill the first three that got near me. I asked if they wanted to vote on who those three were, or draw straws, I didn’t care but let’s go. They all left. The second time, a buddy pissed off this guy and when we walked out of the bar, there were about 12 of them waiting for us. The main guy’s girlfriend was yelling at him not to fight and I used it to my advantage. I told him that they would win, but I was going to wreck him until his friends dragged me off. So basically, he could go have sex with his smoke show girlfriend or end up in the hospital bed next to me. He walked away. The last time, I was in my late 30’s. A little wiser and less of a hothead. Three guys decided they wanted to fight me in a bar. The most aggressive one started to push me and I let him push me until we were about 8 feet away from his two friends. Then as he came in to push me again, I timed it so he walked into a crisp right cross that sent him through their table unconscious. The other two weren’t very excited about fighting after that since it was clear I was well trained and they weren’t. Long story short, use your head and stay calm. If you get an out, take it. Otherwise, give the aggressor an out and single him out as the one who is going to get hurt. This shatters the tendency to feel what’s called “diffusion of responsibility” in the group because the most aggressive guy now knows he’s not getting out of this without taking a beating. Usually, that will be enough. However, when it’s not and a fight becomes inevitable, hit first, be brutal, and don’t give up. Most guys don’t want to get hurt over someone else’s problem. Most of them are there for the fun of stomping you out. If you start really hurting people and use movement to set up one on one’s, a lot of people will not want to be in that situation. If you seriously hurt a few guys, most of the rest will start to rethink the fight. The looks on the faces of the two guys after I shattered their bigger, stronger friend’s face and left him lifeless on the floor in the middle of a broken table with beer all over him, made it clear they wanted no part of me. So I just walked away. Three times I was in a really bad situation and all three times I walked away untouched by using my head, staying calm, and when I had no choice, using my training to send a message that I wasn’t going to be easy to bring down. Bottom line, you can walk away from those situations or at least not get terribly hurt if you can keep yourself together and not appear weak. Predators thrive on the weak. If they know you will gladly take an ambulance ride so long as five of them are coming with you, you became a far less appealing target. And finally, if the fight happens, they are no rules. There is no pride in an “honorable” defeat. Punch guys in the balls, kick out knees, gouge eyes, bite, and do whatever you have to. You’re not in a ring, you’re in a fight for your life, so fighting dirty is fine. And as he says, never go to the ground. I fight best on the ground, but against multiple attackers, going to the ground to choke one guy out just means 11 guys start kicking you. Stay on your feet and NEVER kick above the knee. Finally, if they have weapons, do whatever you can to avoid a fight and get out of there. I always carry a knife but even with it, I’m not doing anything to a bunch of guys with weapons. Don’t get surrounded and get out of there, even if you have to run away. And if you do run away, you’re likely not outrunning them all so run until you find any place that is open, get inside, and have someone call the police. It all seems like a lot to remember, but if you can remain calm, the best course of action will usually make itself clear to you. Stay safe out there.

[@bat7519]

Thanks for the story ,there are a lot of great tips!

[@tappajaav]

By the sound of it you have something most people don't, ability to think under imminent threat of violence. That's something that is very difficult to teach or learn! Very sensible tips and and interesting stories, appreciate the time and effort you spent sharing them! Also formating was solid :)

[@TheProfessorExplains]

@tappajaav - That’s a really good observation that I hadn’t even noticed myself, but looking back, it does explain a lot. Being able to assess what it is that others want or are trying to achieve makes it much easier to figure out a way to deescalate a situation. I can’t tell you how many times I have been in a situation that could have turned violent and instead, it resulted in my making new friends or at least having a drink with someone. There have been so many times where I realized that a person’s aggression towards me was not driven by them actually wanting to fight me, but by something (or someone) else. Some wanted to save face, some were pissed about their girlfriend and just wanted an outlet for that anger, and some were scared I wanted to fight them so they got aggressive as a deterrent. That’s why I always say that the three most important things in any conflict are staying calm, maintaining situational awareness, and being willing and able to fight if you have to. If a guy just had an argument with his girlfriend and watched her storm out of the bar and then accidentally bumped into me, his reaction has nothing to do with me. He’s angry at her and I just happen to be there. On several occasions I’ve just told the guy “look, I saw what happened, I get it. Want to grab a beer and tell me about it?” And just about every time they have said yes and I end up drinking a few beers with a guy and talking about relationships. The part about being willing to fight is important because the other person is far more likely to accept your proposal to deescalate if they know you have no problem fighting them. Just like with animals, predators look for weak prey. If a big guy gets in your face and you look terrified, he knows he’s in control. On the other hand, if you are calm and speak logically, he knows you are not afraid of him and he realizes that you have probably done this many times before. So all of a sudden, he is reevaluating the situation with the knowledge that a fight may not be in his best interests, and that will make him far more willing to walk away. Two guys jumped my buddy around the corner from the lounge we were at. I was talking to the bouncer and walked around the corner to see them. I said straight out “2 on 1 isn’t fair, can I play too?” They immediately backed away from him. I kept telling them “What, you can fight my buddy but not me? I’ll even let him sit this out and you can go 2 on 1 against me.” They just kept backing away saying they had no problem with me and ended up running away. They knew I was willing to fight and offering to fight them 2 on 1 made it clear it wasn’t going to be my first. So to your point, I agree that staying calm and not letting fear take over is a really important thing when it comes to fighting. It lets you control the situation because you can assess why the person wants to fight and if that need can be addressed without fighting. It also allows you to be strategic if a fight does happen and put yourself in the best position for success.

Here's my story about surviving multiple attackers. It's the mid-90s, and I'm on the bus on the west side of Chicago in my sophomore year of high school. The previous year, I attended a Catholic high school and got kicked out. (This will come into play later.) I hear these guys talking about who will swing on me first. I get up from my seat and go to the back of the bus. I figured my chances were better if no one would attack me from the back. I'm telling myself to think, and that's when I remembered I had this little Bible in my backpack from Catholic school. I pulled out the Bible and started reading it like it was the most interesting thing on the planet. I noticed one of the guys slapped his friend's leg and nodded at my Bible. I was spared.

[@kz5058]

What I've used effectively in the past is constant movement. Positioning myself at points where the attackers were then forced to adjust their position. Move quick and often enough for their brains to be unable to formulate a plan of attack. Throw them into each other and strike when opportunities arise. A high level of conditioning is important. You don't want to get tired in the middle of a fight. As the man said, avoid ground fighting. It may be useful against one person, but puts you at a major disadvantage when fighting multiple opponents. Also, be aware of your surroundings. There may be things you can use against them, but also things that may be used against you.

[@jeffbrown2855]

I've seen some Krav Maga videos that taught that you should use one opponent as a shield to protect yourself and also if you do get knocked down spin or pivot to keep your feet always facing your opponents. And kick at them until you can get back up. They also taught rolling. And other people say to use anything you can find to use to defend yourself. Almost any object can be used effectively if you're determined.

ANECDOTAL - 3 ON 1 SCENARIO I had been in this situation, several times in my youth. What he says about getting right back up, always moving around, is exactly what you have to do. The one fight I was in, with three guys, I remember doing exactly what this guy did...kept moving around so they could not get behind me, or attack me simultaneously. Now I knew they would not give up, so what I did was try to wear them down a bit, picking the weakest of the three to concentrate on. My thought in that moment was to eliminate one of the attackers. This meant that I had to go to the ground. What I did was knock this guy on his ass, jumping on his legs to try and break one. I actually broke one of his ankles...but it worked, he was no longer in the fight. Then I applied this tactic again, eventually getting another from behind, choking him out. I took a lot of hits and was very sore the next day. One thing is for certain, if you fight you are going to get hit. There's no avoiding it, especially with multiple attackers. Hopefully your adrenaline and stamina can outlast theirs? If nothing else, work on your cardio!!!! But remember, there is usually one guy in the fight who is weaker than the rest. The only reason he is in the fight, is because he has his buddies to back him up...use this, if you can. Terrorize that individual as much as you can, or try to take him out. It will be one less asshole to worry about.

[@SaberisloveSaberislife]

Best advice I've learned is to run away. If you can't, then fight like it's your last moments because it might just be. Grab and use anything and play dirty ie eye pokes, nut cracker, etc. Don't stay down, keep moving and don't get surrounded. Always keep everyone in sight because of back attacks.

[@deskmat9874]

[@nothingleft3473]

If you are merely looking to *survive* getting jumped, this is how. - Lose your ego. You can either be dead or alive and making a difference in people's lives. Nobody is going to remember how tough you were fighting for your life. - Cardio, if they can't catch you, they can't jump you. - Don't put yourself in situations where this could happen, ie clubbing and bars.

[@BadgerWolf-19]

as a guy who grew up in the hood getting in fights I dealt with getting jumped by up to 5 guys at a time for just crossing the wrong street. Once I started training in boxing and joining the school wrestling team I learned a few things...boxing helped punch on the back foot/angles and wrestling helped get to my feet if I got knocked down and the conditioning helped me run my butt off. Key thing I learned is not get surrounded...movement movement angles quick straight punches and I learned how to teep and low kick too...run get distance repeat if your not faster...keep breathing under control. By junior in year HS I was left alone I was headache to deal with at that point. Dealing with gangs are no fun...but I mastered how not to get jumped lol. I had a knife pulled on me too I just ran at criss cross angles incase he tried to throw it. I had PTSD behind it but I got better once I moved out the city for college.

[@TheProfessorExplains]

@BadgerWolf-19 - That’s a great combo: boxing and wrestling. I mentioned before that I did both as well as Judo and Tae Kwon Do, and it really gives you the ability to protect yourself in various situations. Being able to fight both standing up and on the ground provides you with the opportunity to fight successfully in whatever way the fight goes. You can also use it to you advantage but directing the fight to whatever style your opponent is worse at. I once fought a guy who was four inches taller and 50 pounds heavier. I had no interest in trying to box him given his advantage in reach so I took him to the ground and choked him out. Just as with everything else in life, the more you know and the more versatile you are, the more likely you are to succeed regardless of the situation.

[@bretteumont657]

I agree 100%. Where I grew up fighting was normal between one on one and with groups. When I studied Japanese jujitsu later in life we had guys that performed perfect jujitsu but couldn’t fight We often sparred hard and they would curl up when really hit. We called those guys seminar jujitsu masters. Looks good but can’t make it work for real. To fight is the only way to get good. In the street you don’t necessarily have to win just surviving is the victory. I graduated in 1984 gen x.

[@gutterfightsecrets]

seminar jujitsu masters😂 they say old shit is the best shit. Guess we're from a different generation Brett

[@jeffyoung60]

You're right and a lot of people understand this without talking about it. It's an open secret or rather common knowledge that some people are dojo 'expert performers'. They look good in the dojo, sharp and crisp and on tack. They master all the movements, all the katas. But when the real fight comes, they can't fight. They get beat up. You never know what you're made of until it happens. Apparently there's no substitute for real life experience, getting into a fight and taking and giving punches. I don't mean to put these people down. They are sincere in their efforts to learn whatever martial art the dojo is teaching. Yet as has been said, you need the eye of the tiger as well.

[@screwgoogle4993]

I think we're focusing too much on "martial arts systems" and not giving the student enough credit. You ARE a martial ARTIST, right? Humor my metaphor for a moment. Think of the techniques you learn as colors on a palette. The martial artist is the painter. You choose! Not the system, not your dojo. Those are useful tools, yes, but it is your palette, and therefore, your responsibility, to make things work. All techniques have counters. Picking your repertoire as a martial artist is a big part of whether anything works or not. For instance... If I developed a kick-heavy style but didn't know how to stop a takedown, that's bad synergy. But if the only two things I knew were to leg kick and stuff takedowns, I'd probably still be a pretty effective fighter. Some people "bloat" themselves with stuff they don't even know how they intend to use.

[@TheProfessorExplains]

@bretteumont657 - Mike Tyson said it best: “Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face.” There is no level of training that can prepare you for a real fight where someone is actually trying to physically hurt you. One of my friends has never trained in a single martial art or fighting style, but he’s been in dozens of fights. I’d take him over a “black belt” who’s never been in a real fight any day because when he gets hit it’s not going to phase him. Meanwhile, the first time the “black belt” takes a good shot to the jaw, it’s going to be a completely new experience for him. New experiences take time for us to process and get used to and the middle of a fight is not the time to be distracted or processing things. Also, getting hit gets you used to feeling pain and discomfort yet still continuing. It’s why the military trains people the way it does. The entirety of SEAL training is based on continuing to stay on task while being uncomfortable and in pain. That’s why they routinely get hurt or shot and just keep going. They are used to it and trained to not focus on the pain and discomfort. If you’re not used to it, it’s going to heavily impact your performance. For example, I’m not used to doing things in cold weather. When I played baseball, I always struggled in games where it was really cold because I couldn’t shake off my discomfort. However, I am very used to doing things in hot weather and had no problem playing on very hot days. I didn’t feel uncomfortable like I did in the cold because I was used to it. Getting hit is the same thing. If you’re not used to pain, you’re not going to perform well when you feel it.

[@TheProfessorExplains]

By the way, that same friend got jumped by something like 7 guys. Eventually the police came and broke it up and arrested everyone. A police officer came to his cell and said that 4 of the 7 had to be taken to the hospital and the fifth had a broken nose. He smiled at my friend as if to say “good job” and he was released an hour later. Now, my buddy isn’t some random guy. He was 6’3”, 255, tested off the charts for agility and speed at his size and was one of the top rated linebackers in the country. He was the most freakish athlete I’ve ever met and I’ve seen him do things that seemed physically impossible. But in the context of this discussion, he had no formal training. He took a serious beating and was badly bruised and bleeding when I saw him, but he was so used to pain that it didn’t phase him. I can’t imagine what those guys felt when they kept hitting him to no effect while he savagely destroyed them one by one. I mean, one of the guys in the hospital was in serious condition with broken ribs and other internal injuries. I’ve trained in different martial arts on and off since I was 5, and seeing his condition after the fight, I know 100% that I would have spent weeks in a hospital after going down and getting stomped out if that had been me.

I agree completely on the fact that if you are about to fight a guy or some guy is messing with you, I tend to move in a circle so that I can who’s behind me within about 100’. I want to know who else is in the area so that I don’t get jumped from behind!

[@TheProfessorExplains]

I don’t care how talented or well trained someone is, if you get hit from behind, you’re going down. You always have to make sure you prevent anyone from coming up behind you, even if that means backing yourself up against a wall. Better to have a wall behind you then leave yourself vulnerable to being blindsided from behind.

It's interesting but in several YT videos I've heard similar advice. If forced to fight a group of assailants, don't wait to be attacked, and don't let yourself be encircled. Fight the opponents with simple boxing: left jabs, right crosses, maybe hooks. Keep moving from opponent to opponent, left hand jabs then right crosses. Keep moving. The principle is that in all likelihood your attackers are not trained boxers. If they were, it would be over for you. Now you can add, if pushed down get up fast.

One of them caught it flush straight on the nose. It exploded like a ripe tomato and remained a deep purple bruise for weeks after. Bigger kids saw us all lined up outside the headmasters office, they asked what had we done? My 4 enemies said 'fighting'. Bigger kids asked 'what, you mean a 3 on 2 situation'?

​@@gutterfightsecretsYes I agree that's outstanding information, easy to remember too because nothing fancy or choreographed.

[@Pounderino]

I got into it a few times with multiple guys. My main focus was always guiding them to narrow areas like between cars or lining them up by sweeping around them so it could be one on one. It never failed me. Mainly because I could strike and my center of balance is low from my short legs so I could stay standing. One good tip though is always stay moving because I watched a few heavy swings miss me from the side because I never stopped ducking and dodging.

[@dyingbreed5386]

Very good info. Only thing I would add is use your surroundings. If you can get to a place that bottlenecks your attackers do so. That way you are not really fighting all of them at once. Its the same concept as stacking that he mentioned. This can be as simple as keeping your back close to a wall. That way you only have to protect 180 degrees and don't have to worry about taking a bottle or something to the back of the head. Putting your back to a wall could be more of a disadvantage though if it's only 2 or 3 people because it limits your ability to move and it's not to horribly difficult to keep that many in front of you.

[@terrysanders2817]

[@hardstylelife5749]

Nice video pal lot of good and evergreen common sense in that, bravo

[@floorruglara]

This just reaffirms something i was told several times growing up. While sometimes there are times you have to fight, in some cases its better to walk away as a coward, than to die a hero. The situations i grew up in werent as bad as 'hood life' and such, but there were still times where running from a pointless fight was the best outcome. Dad always told me even back when i was young "pick your battles". Also, in my experience, $10 aint worth it, if a guy or a group of guys is set on fighting you to take your money, if you aint got much on you at the time, just give it to them (if they have you blocked off or whatever). If they're that desperate, they probly dont 'want' to fight, but will if it means they can get the money to either eat that night, or to feed their drug/alcohol habits (that was a common type of people where i grew up). So also if its a rough neighbourhood, dont carry $200+ on you if you dont have to.

[@nevasoba5953]

It's 1 on 1 until my friend starts losing, and it is how we played it. I got jumped many, many times. The main thing u must remember is dont go to the ground . Make sure to keep ur feet , and keep moving . I also got hit with a Police baton, guy hit me in the forehead , it looked like an egg with a crack in it. I never fought so hard to make it back to my car. You covered everything i learned the hard way. The part about squaring off with one . I just kept moving grabbing guys throwing them into each other anything to make aure i didnt get stomped out.

That's what self defence training should be about: risk management! You are not going to win a fight against multiple opponents, you can only do your best to survive. Fighting technique only buys you an opportunity to run, training gives you more time to wait for that opportunity to come. Mobility is the key: stay out of range, don't get stuck, do your best to fight one dude at the time. But knowing how to stay calm and de-escalate conflicts is the first step od risk management and self defense. I am grateful I took a Self defense course from a friend of my master (for free, I was the "bad guy" for de demonstrations, occasionally getting tossed around like a rag doll): I trained in Savate, Kung fu and BJJ for most of my life, and I was surprised how the most effective part was the psychological aspect of managing a bad situation.

[@jeffreyhotchkiss9451]

"...how the most effective part was the psychological aspect of managing a bad situation." EXACTLY. This is why the endless debates about which martial works or doesn't, are a waste of breath. It's your presence in the moment that guides the outcome.

[@jeffyoung60]

The late Bruce Tegner articulated the same advice when fighting multiple opponents. He advised, first try to go after the leader. If he's not accessible, go after the biggest dude. Of course if you're following this man's advice about stacking, you would be attacking the group, which is another different advice. I saw that advised on another video about using boxing against multiple opponents. Don't wait to be attacked. Attack the group, going from one person to the next launching straight punches, jabs, leads, and cross punches. Nothing fancy. "Like sand in the wind, keep moving."

[@naoiseleane7489]

That isnt realistic at all. You may land a few shots on the big guy but youll just get your ass handed to you. This isnt some sort of TV show where you immediately demand respect for assaulting the big guy 😂😂😂

[@jeffyoung60]

@@naoiseleane7489 It was serious advice but not meant as the ONLY advice. Bruce Tegner was something of a martial artist iconoclast like Bruce Lee. They advocated being flexible to the situation. You have to be adaptable. That said, you have to start out with some guidelines and strategy. One strategy is to go after the leader. Another is to go after the biggest guy which might startle and confuse the others. Another strategy is, "Like sand in the wind, keeping moving." Attack the group, going from one to the next. If forced to, you're going to have to fight which ever way works the best. You don't have the luxury to stand there and decide, this strategy is bs and that strategy is bs. I'll just get my a** kicked, so you stand there and get beat up. What are you going to do? Fight.

I learned something new here. That was, when being surrounded by multiple opponents, there is a very brief opportunity where you can retreat, walk away. Wait too long and the opportunity vanishes as the group moves in to attack.

[@QBALL85]

Great information. I probably can't roll like that anymore 🤣 That means it's time to start training. I've been in some sketchy situations where I would have had to face more than one opponent. Each and every time I conceded and managed to talk my way out of it. Except for this one time in Seattle where I put my hand in my pocket acting like I was holding onto a weapon and calmly kept walking. Someone in that group was laughing and said I had a tough man walk 🤣 Though my mentality was that if I was going down, I'm at least taking one of them with me.

The only time I heard of someone going to ground and surviving was a friend I used to train with got jumped by half a dozen dudes, and when my buddy was knocked down he had a very short bladed knife on him hard to see and just started stabbing at legs coming at him. Thighs etc. They all backed up real fast and he got up to keep them at bay until the cops came. The cops took his blade but knew he didn't start it (witnesses). Some of the attackers were bleeding badly. I think about that a lot. Like a last resort.

Only have experience with 3 people in a fight. Even that took everything I had I wouldn't want to go through it again. Took a ton of body blows that made me feel like my legs were made of solid brick. I only managed it due to head movement and leg work. I had no formal training so street fights before had trained me for this type of scenario but it was still scary af. Sure at the end you got all 3 on the ground groaning and you feel like a king but I learned the signs and got good at avoding any type of fight after that. That fight almost had me break my hand from punching those guys since I had to basically punch wildly while they were aiming to knock me out with kicks and elbow shots.

[@AndersonsStreaming]

I am 56 now but I have some battle scars to show for it all over my body. If I could give one bit of advice to save your life with multiple attackers is to keep moving. Those who move survive and those who stop die. Another lesson to learn is that everything can become a makeshift weapon. If things are about to go down and you have no way out at the time, stall until you can get out of the situation or fight your way out. Look around you for anything that can become a weapon. I took my own belt off a couple times to hold back attackers with knives until I could back my way out and run. Make sure your pants won't drop around your ankles. My waist was narrow enough that my pants would not fall down. I had buckles I wore that were heavy pewter with 1 stud on the back to catch holes. A guy with a knife could not get close to me or I could control his knife arm or another one by wrapping it up in the belt. I also could do some serious damage to the face with it. I had nothing around me to pick up but my belt did the trick.

Me n my friend fought about 7-8 guys too, I remember that the only reason we not only survived but surprisingly won was that we made it a priority to look out for each other not to go on the floor for too long instead of actually protecting ourselves instead(I only found out we won from the police speaking to both sides and he said some of them came off worse plus they’re pressing charges, even the police laughed at them 😂 long story), we protected each other from falling or for too long, 3 secs is too long btw. This is a certified advice bro 👌🏾

[@floorruglara]

Definitely. I had a buddy like that back in highschool days, if we were together, we'd stand together come hell or plague. We'd both run from a 1v3 or 1v4 the first chance we got, but if it was 2v6 we'd usually stand our ground. We worked well together cos he was a big lad with a fair bit of strength behind him, and I was the quick agile type (who also knew a bit about pressure points). It was mostly a case of him blindsiding the ones that were focused on me, and me blindsiding the ones focused on him. Always watch your mates backs, especially if you know they've got your back.

[@ShAD0w._]

about the stacking i can vounch for it , i have been in alot of situations which that saved my life ,i also have a trick that when alot of people come at me i just go to a tight space that not a people can get throught to punch me or kick me also use your surrounding elements a pole or a car or run and get behind a corner you can get a suprise attack that way

[@ulvesparker]

Worst inbalance I was in was a 6 on 1 on the playground after dark. It really should have been a 6 on 2 but my buddy froze up and did nothing. I pretty much did what you mentioned as 6 people did not have room to maneuver against 1. Also my first priority was to arm myself/get an object in my hand, in this case sporting goods equipment. Don't go to ground. Don't get surrounded. Make stacks, use bottlenecks, create blockages, use terrain, gravity, acceleration if possible. And, I knew that it was not truly a 6 on 1, because there was an Alpha, and a lieutenant. Plus a big grunt enforcer. All the others were essentially bystander followers with no motivation on their own. I used my favorite tactic... the sucker punch. I know it is dirty fighting, but I was obviously not the aggressor and all I wanted was to just leave in peace. I surprised the Alpha, threatened/scared the second. And my friend and I backed away.

As a teenager I boxed (only sparred, never fought competitively) but I always remember the first thing coach said to us when we turned up to fight was “this is the first thing I will ever teach you - your first option is to aim not to fight. Always aim to avoid fighting. That’s why pro boxers choose who they agree to fight with - they don’t take on all comers. Everything else I teach you is how to handle yourself the other 5% of the time - when you HAVE to fight”. That was not what we expected him to say.

I've seen this strategy before when you're going against many opponents at once In the book of five rings, written by a famous duelist, Miyamoto Musashi, there's a strategy called "There are many enemies", which is really identical to the technique shown here. Though the book of five rings focuses on sword combat, what they both have in common regarding this strategy is getting the enemies to pile up together like a fishing line (parallel), strike the enemies as they advance and observe their attacking order to take advantage of it. My point is, this guy may or may not have re -invented an actual strategy from an actual legend, and he can be trusted with his advice on martial arts.

Knives are especially dangerous, you can be slashed or stabbed but not know it because of the adrenaline. Town I grew up in received an influx of the most unsavory element from the projects of Chicago. Crime went through the roof. I walked right into a shakedown. There were a dozen young men surrounding me, but I saw no weapons. In the split second it takes to make a decision, alot of thoughts can go through your head. I was curious why there were no weapons, so I quickly scanned the faces of my would be attackers and realized two things. At least 3 of them looked to be teenagers, and most of them did not have the hardened face of a killer. I know myself, my background and temperament meant serious harm and death for them. (Not bragging, I initially took martial arts to learn to channel my temper because I would blackout as a kid when I was attacked.) In my heart I am not a sadist and I value life. I decided to give them a pass, I started laughing at their leader. I couldn't help it, I was so relieved that they were amateurs, which meant I would not be forced to act. I walked right through the group. Later I did call the cops and told them those hoodlums were lucky they ran into someone with a sense of humor.

Half the time crooks will have friends with them--survived one attack 2 on one by avoiding the initial attack and taking the first guy out--his friend took off, survived a second attack of multiple guys (like 7 or 9) because a guy that knew me jumped in and started taking guys out from behind, survived an encounter with a drug guy and about a dozen of his friends by beating him up so badly (he couldn't fight at all) his druggie friends decided that while they could do it, it just wasn't worth it.

Two years ago, my friends and I went to a nightclub. As the night went on, most of my friends had already left, and only two of them and I stayed longer. We were drunk as hell, and accidentally, one of my friends spilled his drink on a girl's dress. The girl got pissed, and although my friend apologized, it didn't help. She started yelling, and my friend got kicked out. The other friend was so drunk that he had to sit down for a while. I went outside for a cigarette and saw that the same girl from before was waiting for us outside. As I stepped out, a black Audi pulled up, and three guys jumped out of the car and ran straight at me. It happened so fast I didn't know what was going on. Two of the guys got behind me, and one of them hit me straight in the jaw with his forehead so hard that half of one of my front teeth flew out of my mouth. He hit me three times in the head with his fist, and despite being drunk as hell, I didn't fall, which saved me from having my face kicked in. The beating stopped when a random guy came to help, and the three attackers ran off. Be careful out there!

Group of kids started talking some stuff and saying jokes about how bikers are … insert Southpark joke here. Anyway, nothing happened. Point of this story is never let someone’s words goad you into a fight. There is simply nothing to be gained from it. Except huge medical bills. Even if you win you are not gaining anything. Almost every potential fight can be won with 2 sentences. “I’m sorry if I offended you in anyway. Ya’ll have a good night”. 99% of the time the other side trying to instigate is doing so because they feel offended by something you did or said. Don’t let someone else’s words pull you into a fight. You fight to protect your person or your loved ones. Never to protect your ego.
