Sorry, I know this is a dumb question.

I'm just trying to understand what the ultimate limits of martial arts would be. I realize this would be nothing more than an educated guess, but I'm just curious.

From my uneducated viewpoint, Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee or any other great martial artist in their prime could annihilate one untrained attacker and probably could kill 2-3 untrained attackers. They would get overwhelmed by 20 attackers. So somewhere between 3 and 20 untrained attackers is the probably the practical limit of what a supremely trained, tough and powerful human can beat.

This is nothing more than curiosity on my part. I've never taken anything more than basic karate, so I admit that I know nothing about the subject. I was hoping for a more informed opinion by people who have taken MA for years.
