Why You Wouldn't Beat Multiple Opponents

[@MartialArtsJourney]

This is the last editorial I am making to sum up the knowledge I've gained through this last year. Now on Wednesday I am finally flying to US to start my intensive MMA and BJJ training so much more live footage and interviews are to come. Very excited about that and I'll see you all soon.

[@driver3899]

totally on point, one of the few videos I completely agree with, nice work on this one it also helps show why being proficient in footwork and positioning is such a huge part of doing well in sparring or self defence

[@MrKahunadog]

Good journey and luck. I am interested in your thoughts on my reply.

[@spacelinx]

Have you ever read Miyamoto Musashi's work The Book of Five Rings? Musashi was a legendary swordsman of 16th-17th c. Japan. It's a good read that I think every serious martial artist should read. He describes different fight strategies, many of which you addressed in this video like herding your opponent to a lesser disadvantage for them, greater advantage for you and talks about technical fight dynamics and how you can even apply such philosophies to how you lead your life. Sometimes he's credited with putting into words the path of bushido, especially with his work The Dokkodo, or Way of Walking Alone. Good luck in your journey.

[@will-oftheconvictionsforge]

Not really. What the movies got right is mobility and instinct but what they never address is that: if you want to win you have to hit to kill. You don't have to have overwhelming force, but you have to have fear and death on your side.

@Alambusha Shukla speaking as a small guy who had lots of bullies growing up, but didn't have those bullies after he learned ITF Taekwondo and started fighting back, no, I wouldn't WANT to be in a position with multiple people attacking me. BUT I studied a real system of martial arts, not "combat sports", so when multiple people DID attack me, because they were BULLIES, I knew how to win against them. You can't wrestle multiple people on the ground, so of course the UFC/combat sports people think you can't defend yourself in such a situation. Study a real martial art -- for self defense, not competition -- and you will learn how to do it.

[@sephikong8323]

The best martial arts for self defense is HEMA, especially if you carry your weapon with you. Yes it is not very easy to fit your sword/weapon of your choice with you at all time, but having a weapon with a longer reach and knowing how to utilise it is key in a real situation (unless the opponent has a gun and is pointing you even before you can take out your weapon, but nothing can help you except cooperate if someone got a gun). Plus weapons, especially slashing weapons, carry a big intimidating factor with them and thus just drawing your weapon could put an end to the situation before it could escalate any further. It is still best to avoid conflict at all costs because it is always risky, but having a close quarter weapon and having trained to use it is probably your best bet if you ever get into a sticky situation

My grandfather once offhandidly told me that when he was young he once fought off 6 dudes. I never believed him. About a year before he died I was visiting my great uncle, brother of his, and he told me my grandfather was the best boxer in his city when he was young, and that it was decided that he should quit boxing and pursue a more 'decent' lifestyle after some dudes ambushed and shot him. He showed me pictures of my grandfather in the ring, that was a surprise for me, I had never heard about that side of my grandfather in my then 25 years of life. I asked my grandfather about it. He told me that it was true about the short boxing career he had but nothing else. 6 months later my grandfather was battling cancer and it was my turn to take care of him for the night. So he and I talked for hours and he told me the complete story about his youth, early boxing career, and the troubles he faced. Including the time he fough off 6 dudes. He told me that the secret was to enrage yourself and be like a tiger. To hit really fast and move really fast. After he fought off those dudes they came back the next day and shot him in the chest. But he survived. He even showed me the bullet wound and the bullet. Yes, he still had the bullet inside of him. It was a round small ball you could feel if you pushed your fingers to the left side of his chest. So suddently the story became real for me and totally believable. So all in all , this video and the advices it gives, reminds me alot of what my grandfather told me and gives a more detailed explanation of what he meant about ''being like a tiger'.

@@digitalintent My situation is gonna some like movie shit but we all know how dumb young middle and high schoolers are. It was this stupid little turf war bs that our towns used to engage in since long before I was even of born and inadvertantly got sucked into for living on this side of the highway vs that side of the highway. I got cornered in a walk way and was forced up against the wall with multiple people kicking and punching at me. I maybe got one good unconfirmed punch in right before but there was absolutely nothing I could do but curl up in fetal position facing the wall and try to guard my chest and head as I got stomped out. After that they left. Lucky I was just left with only bruises on my back and legs. I have a few friends who faced similar attacks that actually got bones broken and sent them to the hospital. I can say though, as far as I heard, it was never people from my pen town to go into their town to wreak havoc. There was nothing to do in their town as they were a dry township so they would cross that bridge over the highway and squat somewhere aggressively. Granted my incident was in their "territory" but I shouldn't be getting jumped for just going to Dunkin Donuts. Suffice to say, I would highly not recommend getting into a fight like this at all and especially out numbered is even more of a no no.

[@daethe]

While this works in theory, it wouldn't actually work in practice. You, and your fast opponent would have to be so much faster than the rest of your opponents, that you'd literally have to be sprinting for an extended period of time to make enough distance between the rest of the pack. That would also mean that after that first person, everyone else is also relatively similar in speed, so you'd have a mob on your heels. Also how many times do you think you can actually sprint between locations, and then still have enough energy left over to really fight it out with someone? Then you're just gonna do it again? The only way this has any chance of working is if you have a weapon - a force multiplier. If you don't, then you're just going to die tired.

I'm always a little sceptical when people say to beat multiple attackers you need to take them out quick by hitting the throat, groin, etc. These targets are generally hard enough to hit in a one on one fight and having additional opponents typically limits your options (or at least it does in the re-enactment battles I've participated in) and I'm bold enough to suggest that if you can't land an attack one on one you're going to struggle to land that attack against multiple opponents.

[@joediffy]

I can only speak for myself but I think it's almost impossible to deal with multiple attackers. I have a lot of Martial arts training, I am a kickboxing coach and I used to own an MMA gym. Years ago when I was much younger and stronger than I am now at 55 years old, I was confronted by three drunk assholes while leaving a sports bar, I was with my wife and I had no illusions of my chances against 3 guys so I tried to walk away and as I did one of them tried to hit me so I hit him, hard and knocked him out, at that point the other 2 beat the hell out of me and the third guy I knocked out woke up pissed off and joined in. I tried to fight back and protect my wife who was trying to help me but was only getting in the way. When the police came there were 3 of them and one of me so the cop arrested me, but he saw through their bullshit and drove around the corner and let me go, telling me to go straight to the hospital. I got 12 stitches over my right eye and was bad bruised up for about 10 days but I feel lucky I did not get brain damage. No martial art can prepare you for this kind of situation, but my training did help me with movement and slipping punches and I knew not to go down or it would have been much worse. My advise is to avoid these situations at all cost, a bruised ego is much better than brain damage, just walk away.

[@driver3899]

why does this not have more upvotes? maybe not many people understand that this is a realistic depiction of what happens instead of a movie outcome Ps did your wife get hit at all in the encounter?

[@joediffy]

If the police come and they have 3 people that say you started it, and your saying they started it, the police believe the 3, not the one. The officer was a nice guy and he could tell what happened so he put me in the car, told my wife to follow him and we went around the corner and he let me go with my wife, I was beaten up pretty badly and needed to go to the hospital.

[@joediffy]

My wife got pushed and I tried my best to get her to stay back, I don't think she got hit to their credit, but they worked me over pretty good, I had to go to the emergency room, I was so bad that they took me straight in so I did not have to wait at all. It was not a pleasant experience at all, I would not have fought if the first guy did not swing at me but he did so I reacted and I paid the price. I would advise just waking away, even if your pride is bruised, they cracked my jaw too and to this day it hurts if I go to the dentist I can't hold it open for very long before I have to close it.

-joediffy its not almost impossible. others have done it, even without training. there are youtube videos of people surviving said encounters and even winning them. its extremely difficult to do and if you have 0 training in that area (as most martial arts dont train realistic multiple attackers) then yea it is impossible. but training in that area, as well as carrying weapons on you really makes a huge difference in survivability. most people arent going to want to jump you after you shot their friend in the head.

I had no weapon, I only had my hands and feet and i thought i did as well as could be expected because they swarmed me all at the same time, it was not like a movie, they did not come at me one at a time.

4 is feasible at once. Honestly their can be a lot more than 4, It really depends on a lot of factors: how well you can isolate each individual attacker, if you’re able to limit how many are coming at you at once (although not entirely realistic; similar to the hallway seen in old boy), how much pain tolerance the individuals involved have, relative skill of the attackers vs the one they’re attacking; and nobody likes to admit this but honestly most importantly, the relative size, strength, and athleticism of the person who’s being attacked vs the attackers. If you’re attacking someone who’s big and strong it’s a lot harder to hurt them and theoretically their attacks will do more damage, nobody wants to admit that point.

That would work with similar effectiveness as a punch (although not quite as fast and one would have to be very careful to not expose themselves). The other technique that might be effective against multiple attackers is put one in a choke hold and hold him as a shield. Threaten to kill him if the group does not yield. I think the effectiveness will really depend on who the attackers are and what mood they are in.

Not true. This is like not letting someone know you have a gun. Best way to fight multiple attackers is to not fight multiple attacker. Where I went to school, that idea that most bullies don't actually know how to fight is false, most people knew how to fight, at least the basics was a given. With multiple people if they don't think you can fight, they are probably going to engage and at that point they are all attacking you. On the opposite spectrum, letting your attackers know that you're not only able to fight but you're willing to really hurt someone (breaking bones, gauging eyes, slamming heads against a wall) has the potential to deter conflict. People fight in groups for the security of having someone at their back so there's less risk of getting hurt that bad. If you can make any of them believe that there's a serious chance that they can really get hurt they might hesitate. Confidence can do a lot.

The few times I've gotten into a situation with multiple attackers, it was tense but not as complicated as you think it is. Perhaps we are over thinking what will actually happen with multiple attackers, groups and crowds of people are not that intelligent when acting together. The only thing that really agrees with my personal experience and your theory is that a person needs to be open to deploy whatever response fits the situation. I've attacked the first attacker, I've done ikkyo in response to an attack, I preempted an attack with a verbal threat, and I've also used my own weapon as a pre emptive threat without using it. The point is, you don't know what's going to happen, and no amount of training will tell you what will happen. Not even the "real self defense" instructors. It's often misleading when saying one is real and one is not. The truth is, no one knows until it happens. I agree that conceptually that aikido randori is a good theoretical starting point. But you have to expect the unexpected and be decisive in your action once you move. I live in Texas, so my reality is a gun fight. lol. For real, road rage or bar fights usually end up with a gun fight. So no martial art, MMA or TMA, is going to prepare you for being shot at. It's all a wash at that point, and you'll need other training. Like how to shoot a gun during stress environments. Even then, it's a very high risk situation. Good luck!

The key to survive a fight with multiple attackers is hit and run tactics. That's the closest you get. Pacing your opponent so that you only have to face one at a time and blocking. Never let yourslef be surrounded. And this is almost impossible to do if you fight against other fighters. Fighing multiple attackers who only rely on numbers because they don't know how to fight is very much possible. Or am I just so very lucky to witness it multiple times now. Experience is a key factor to most martial arts arguments. Most haven't experienced their martial arts working so they think it's impossible or just not good.

Fighting multiple opponents is very hard even for seasoned fighters. The key is to line them up so they can only fight one at a time. Movement of the body is critical or using your environment to help you (for example in a very narrow corridor). Most times that not, these techniques are normally to delay the opponents and run away since you most likely wont be able to beat a large group of people (like in the movies). So yeah, never let the oponent group surrender you, and dont try fighting like in the movies. Best to run away to fight another day.

[@hitwalkhook3831]

Actually I agree with you. In martial arts not, but street fights you can overwhelm multiple opponents. The 2 are not the same. I am usually a calm person, I used to play ice hockey when I was in pre-school and after school started it all ended. In school one time a guy annoyed me enough(tried to put a leaf in my eye) that 20 people, no less, were needed to stop me from chasing him. 3 of them were teachers. The funniest thing is that I stopped running, they did not stop me from running after the guy. I accidentally while running cut a rope for peonza(game) of my classmate and saw sadness in the eyes. That's when I stopped. I don't like hurting people. It definetly is possible to defeat multiple opponents, but you must know what is on their mind to do that and against martial artists it probably won't work well, because they never start a fight for a reason. Martial arts is a style of art. No artist wants to get hurt or hurt someone. Rules if you are overwhelmed: -Keep the distance -Rotate to the slowest, if 2 people are attacking you analyze which one of them is faster and try to put the slower guy or fatter between the two of you, make them obstacles. -Do not let them grab you, if you are grabbed it is over. If they grab you in case, your last chance is to take control of the person who grabbed you by playing with your weight. Alternatively jump on one of their arm with full body weight to get free, no one can lift 50+kg on one hand. -Use environment for your case. It might sound ridiclious, but dirty fight is dirty fight. Grab that sand and push it in the eyes. Sand is good, because you can just blow it, not even a need for actual hits. -Liver kick and punch is your friend, kicking he liver area can disable one enemy making both flee or let you have a 1v1. -most important: DO NOT ACT LIKE PREY, if you act like a prey you will be one, if you stand your ground they will not really attempt, just DO NOT INITIATE, unless they are in arms reach and you warned them. Warning is optional and for legal reasons Edit: Rip i watched the video later...

As a survivor of RL attacks of 5 vs 1 back in Jr. High school this is all amazingly good information. I was attacked while in school by 5 kids that bullied me for over 2 years straight. Every day they would attack me by trying to overwhelm me and get me down into the floor and nearly kick me to death. My father ended up putting me into Kung Fu and I had a great instructor that told me the truth right from the start your going to lose if you have to fight against those numbers. So he said simply first try and avoid and escape, if not possible find who you can punch to make an escape. If escape is impossible then expect to lose, but make them regret ever trying to harm you. At first it sucked for over a year, but over time I got better I learned how to predict their moves and I learned how to block what areas were vital. Then I started breaking bones countering and yes I lost ALOT of the fights but every broken bone I gave them I counted as a victory. Long story short it all ended one day in the men's bathroom. I was snuck up on by them and had my face rammed into a cement wall 3 times and had my nose shattered! Then I was thrown down to the floor and had a switch blade aimed at my heart! I was lucky my trainning from King Fu had taught me to block blades. So I attempted the same move I had done in practice a thousand times and managed it...but it had stabbed into the back side of my hand! That was when I took advantage of his shock that I did that and grabbed his arm pinned it under my knee and then shattered it making sure his knife was controlled and unusable. It happend so quick I had not noticed the blade cut out of my hand and that I was bleeding heavily from a chunk of skin missing from my hand. That was when his friends all decided to start kicking me. But I knew if I released the leaders arm with the knife I would be dead so I kept him pinned and accepted the blows and screamed for help. At that moment luck was on my side and the freaking principle walked in!! The leader was expelled the kids friends all given suspensions and after that the leader as far as I knew never used his arm again. My nose was flat shattered and required 2 surgeries to fix it. Which I couldn't afford nor my parents untill 13 years later. I self stiched my own hands flesh back on because I was taught how by my mother. I had several bruses all over my entire body, but nothing else was broken since I blocked my vitals. All in all I survived and this man's video is a 100% accurate.

The problem with relying solely on conventional classroom martial arts is that your opponents typically do not fight with the intent to harm you, and likewise neither do you. In a realistic fight, this restraint or naivety that they only would just "beat you up" in a comical sense will get you killed. Training to deal with a realistic fight situation is entirely different than what you'd get out of an ordinary martial arts class. The techniques we were taught were literally designed to kill. That's why we were expected to fight multiple enemies in combat. Alot of results varied, but the generality was our guy came back injured with most of his attackers dead or having fled.

I studied martial arts for almost 20 years, was in more than a few fights where I was against multiple people, but never more than 5. If it was two or three people, I usually walked away without a scratch, but any more than that, I definitely took a beating. Was always able to walk away on my own, but I needed a few days to heal up after afterward. The most useful lesson I ever learn though, I learned at a hospital. No one ever wants to fight a crazy person, and no one ever wants to fight a naked person. Speaking from personal experience, it's a lot easier to fake being crazy than it is to fake being naked. Slapping yourself in the face and ranting about insane crap has kept me out of more fights then I ever got in. Edit: because I forgot to add it, and in case anyone asks, definitely the mobility. In the few times where I was up against that many people, mobility, and using my opponents as shields to protecting me from getting overwhelmed, those are the two things that saved my life. Well, maybe not save my life, but definitely saved me from getting messed up any worse. Edit 2: also, forget honor and chivalry. The videos right, it's not a duel. If you were in that situation, and you can't get out, and you can't get away, striking first and hardest is is the only option you have left. Like I stated earlier, I've had a lot of training and practice in this, so in my situations, I felt comfortable taking the fight to them. If you don't feel comfortable, then I recommend the wise words of Jack Sparrow. Never be afraid to fight to run away. Edit 3: I came into this world kicking and screaming, covered in someone else's blood. I have no problem going out that way.

I’ve been attacked by two people at once and “won” that fight. But I would never engage 2 or more at once willingly. Two guys ran up, split, and swung at me from both my left and right. I dropped and rolled forward and did a 180 out of the roll so I could see them. They apparently hit each other while I did this... but was kinda rolling on the ground so I didn’t see it too well. They then tried to surround me again. This was in an open parking lot, I kept moving so that our position made a straight line (making sure that one of them was in between me and the one furthest away). Eventually I saw an opening for a side kick while they were lined up. So, I hit the one closest to me as hard as I could pushing him back towards the other. My plan to push one into the other didn’t happen, but the other one had to move out the way. Which is when I ran towards some benches and jumped over the bench putting the bench between me and them. 2nd guy jumped the bench after I did while the 1st guy ran around it, so I side stepped the bench and pushed 2nd guy (while he was airborne) into the 1st guy, then stepped forward with a hard side kick to the 2nd guy as he was colliding with the 1st guy. And I saw a large stick on the ground out the corner of my eye, so I went for the stick as they were falling. As they’re getting up, I whacked one of them (don’t remember which) with the stick as hard as I could in the ribs, then moved back to the other side of the bench to put it between me and them again. That’s when they left. I was lucky they weren’t terribly smart and didn’t really know how to fight too well. Also that I found that stick.

[@unchartedparkourinreallife1362]

my experience in krav did a great job at simulating multiple opponents... though my teacher made it clear that krav is not a martial art but a self defense system... which i agree with

[@plantbasedchristian2742]

I attended a kung fu school in NYC for a few years and fighting multiple attackers was indeed an important part of training (typically 2 against 1). I was surprised to hear your statement that few martial arts address the question of multiple attackers. Perhaps you are right and I just got lucky, however it seems like very valuable training to me. Obviously immediate escape is the best choice but that's not always possible

[@HilawUgLuto]

The secret to fighting even ONE attacker is to never lose mobility. Movement and footwork is everything.

[@StealthDonkey007]

Beating multiple opponents is simple: just be bigger, stronger, tougher and more skilled than all of them combined.

[@timsmith9152]

Fought a lot when I was younger. I was a finisher, not a starter. 2 fights were 1v1. All others were 3v1 and up to 7v1. Never lost. In fact, ended up chasing the 7 down the street. Minimal martial Arts training and wrestled for a long time. The strategies explained are accurate. You cant stop for a second and have to be very aware of your surroundings. Hit the ground twice in the group and always took someone down with me, rolled and used them as a block to gain position. I did get hit quite a bit, but they were calculated. Taking a loss to take advantage. If you can, take the small guy first and use him as a ram into the bigger guys. It's not easy to catch a grown man, even the small ones. It delays advances. Juking and backpeddling are essential. Know how to dodge a punch and use the opposer's momentum, either to incapacitate or to move them into the next guy. Lastly, if you get enraged when you get hit, you will lose. You need to get calmer. You need to be able to read and react. Rage and anger make mistakes. If you are one of the few that get more calm when hit, you probably notice everything slows down around you. It's a rare trait and it definitely saved my life. Also, don't fight. It's not worth it. Never started one. Ever.

[@GordonSeal]

Cool story kid.

[@oneofgodschildren8361]

In the 1980's while walking around my Memphis hood I was attacked and while in fight or flight I was able to fight them off using some kind of crossing there arms and making them hit each other there were more than 5 of them it felt like I was in a dream no shyness no pain or injuries not even later and I didn't have to run from them one of them called out that they were just playing and stoped attacking me, but in the project them going around and beating up people is how they played. All of them were downed some upside down in the bushes that state of mind has helped me many times in violent and dangerous times with no injuries it's been a while but I've always loved my fight or fight mode there were lots of tough guys back then so far I'm still undefeated though as a good person I do try to avoid wrongful people. I liked the rage but liked the smooth quickness I felt in fight or flight more

[@FergusScotchman]

Came across this. BJJ guy. I agree very much with this. When I played football, I was one of the big guys, and we did this drill where everyone is in a big circle with one person in the middle. The coach points to a person, and they try to tackle the guy in the middle. The coach knew I would fare better than the smaller guys, so he was sending them at me quickly. First guy, down easily... pivot to next person off to the side, down and a bit off-balance at the angle... boom -- guy from my left side hits me and staggers me... then the coup de grace, guy from directly in back of me takes me down hard. I get up... blam, on the ground... get up... repeat until I'm lying on my back gasping for air. That taught me that no matter how badass you are, you don't want to engage multiple threats. I was actually looking for a video on movement using a firearm against multiple attackers having firearms. I don't think many people caught this, but the Punisher executes this awesome sequence of foot movement just in about a 6 foot diameter circle designed to delay the threats' ability to get aim while he just takes them down one at a time. If anyone knows more about that kind of training, please let me know. I'm just blown away at how effective that tactic probably is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXuXg2OLjNWAn8k

[@michaelgrantham125]

The stance of the opponents is the key. Select the opponent which has the least balanced and set stance and use that against them. They can be off balanced the easiest and susceptible to an aggressive attack or manipulated. An upright opponent with feet together can be pushed or out maneuvered creating the space which is all important. It is then a fight for your life where escaping is the most important goal. But identifying their stances in chaos will help the most.

[@VegetoStevieD]

Honestly, I think the most important thing is to have around double or more the combined power level of the attackers. If one squats 225, and another squats 315, then you should squat 540+ to reasonably assume you can take them both. Not an exact science, but it's a starting point. You're going to need stamina to finish both of them too, unless you can one-shot them. Last but not least, there's skill.... but I still think general power level is probably the bigger factor up to a point. A gun still works best lol.

[@yaboiyaboy9980]

It really depends on the attackers. If you are facing two meatheads that have never taken a punch, then yes it's very possible that your punches will surprise them and they will back off even if they are stronger than you. But if they are determined to beat you it will be almost impossible no matter how strong you are. You could be beating one guys face in and the other guy will just jump on your back and go for the choke hold... And then while you try to stop the choke his friend start punching you in the stomach and the face. So it's very situational. Sometimes you can take on 20 guys if you surprise them and they are a bunch of weaklings. But if you take that out of that equation and just assume that even two people really want to kill you and will not stop unless you knock them out first, your not going to win unless you are a serious badass

[@Fernando-rw6vz]

Khechari pretty much, if a little man was to plan to take down a a guy twice or three and half the size of his, well you already know who has more mass power, so it’s like a David and Goliath situation, but what If the little man had some fighting training experience? It really depends, but we’re talking about a life and death situation, not friendly competition Oh and it would come in handy knowing what weak points to hit

[@VegetoStevieD]

@@Fernando-rw6vz Hm, well I didn't really say 'size', but size is often related anyway. Strength to weight ratios can't be underestimated though either. I'm not saying skill isn't important, I'm just saying I'd look at maximizing athleticism FIRST, and skill second.

[@Someone-sq8im]

_Why did youtube recommend this to me_ _I never posted anything about taking kung fu_

[@johnchestnut5340]

I pushed off one attacker. I couldn't land a punch. But I was able to keep my legs/feet between us after I was knocked down. After my leg push he landed about eight feet away. I got up before he did. He thought about continuing the fight and then ran away. I guess he didn't like flying through the air and hitting the ground.

[@himanshusippy6390]

Thnx for breaking my fantasy I will train even harder and got motivation due to u thnx

[@choreomaniac]

Obviously the title is overstated. However, it is mostly valid. It does depend on the mentality of the attackers. It would be very unusual to have 5 committed and skilled people attacking someone who will fight to the last breath. Most of the time, at least one is hiding in the strength in numbers. That person will hold back, wait “back up” the others and will run if given the chance.

[@championoffire9568]

When I took taekwondo, my teacher took time to teach us what to do in a situation where you are facing more than one opponent. Most taekwondo teachers (in my experience) won’t do that. They also taught us defense against knifes and guns so I’m grateful that I had a teacher that didn’t just focus on kicking and punching, but actually taught us how to defend against weapons and multiple attackers.

[@bunkydoes8048]

[@oreocarlton3343]

Overly simplistic conclusion. Stand up grappling moves like armdrag are very usefull, smaller closed space also increases importance of stand up grappling

[@driver3899]

Oreo Carlton is this something you have tried against multiple attackers who are trying to punch you?

[@MrWhangdoodles]

I guarantee you, you will be knocked out before you can tear or break anything. If multiple people want to kill you, you'll die.

[@gnomeking6568]

You have a point, but the clinch is only good if you're fighting in a tight space, and you're able to use your opponent in the clinch as a shield, placing his body between you and his other buddies who want to knock you out... But in wide open space, I would highly reccomend you NOT use the clinch or any other grappling... You gotta swing with precision & bad intentions, and stay moving...

[@quentinmiller7353]

You're video offers great points.I have studied Kung Fu San Soo for 10 years now and the entirety of the art is focused on multiple attacker based street fighting. In San Soo every point you made is addressed and reinforced. I will say that it is difficult for any art that is designed to actually hurt people to pressure test due to hurting your sparing partner. BJJ is able to pressure test because they focus on submissions as opposed to actually harming an individual. In the 60s and 70s when martial arts was taking off in American society people went to bars or rough parts of town to try out their skills. Due to mass popularity in lawsuits nowadays it's tough to go out and get into street fights without incurring major legal/criminal consequences.

[@wumpusthehunted2628]

I remember doing this in one class. The best result is the fastest guy ran past everyone. Sensei did well, but then pointed out that if everyone attacked on the count of 3, he wouldn't have a chance.

[@theslimcreeper3779]

Regarding the "Run-away" concept. I've always been a big fan of fighting Anime. And one of my favorite series always was the Virtua Fighter adaptation. Because, even if the protagonist was so strong and fast (besides otherwose being really goofy and stuff, but hey that's relatable protag for you:D) when he started teaching a bullied boy, the first thing he taught him was not hitting techniques or grapples, but how to run fast and wide. And this was so awesome. It's not just about 'hitting really hard'. It's about protecting your life. Not your ego. They also did a, what I thought, great comparison. The hotheaded female lead asked, why the protag does not teach the kid striking and kicking, to overpower the opponents. Which yeah, is valuable. But Akira juat responds with: "well and if the opponent just pulls the gun, you are done for anyway". I mean yes, running away when someone aimes a gun at you, you have very little chance of success. But than again, if you are a good runner, are able to surprise your opponent or whatever chances are you are more eager to survive than just standing there and try to fight the guy. Also, for me the lesson was also more about, what if the opponent draws weapons in general? Well, even than. You better run, that's what. Now, maybe this is really simplistic and there are many things that go into that kind of stiff. But I was really amazed by how they treated that subject in such an Anime regardless. Telling kids, that not only is it ok, to run away sometimes, but that good stamina and speed are also key factors when you want to learn the basics about fighting. At least that is what I took from that^^

Boxing is best for multiple attackers

[@johnkennedy1377]

mpforeverunlimited I've studied Aikido, Judo and now ITF Taekwondo. Having said that in the early 70's while in the Navy a ship mate of mine who had been boxing since he was 12 got into a fight. I was with him when the fight started and he took on 2 guys. These guys couldn't touch him. He hit them so many times and at one point knock one of them through a plate glass window. That guy ended up with multiple injury's and well over 100 stitches. I never forgot that fight and I have a very healthy respect for boxing as that I've seen it in action. Best

My Hero Academia This is back in the early 70's if memory serves he as about 5' 7" medium build. Attacker 1 was the same approximate hight but a thinner build. Attached 2 was about 6' tall heavy set. At that time I knew nothing about boxing or martial arts. Now I know that he was slipping punches and all the good stuff that boxers do. I hope that helps. Best
