If you want to go and challange a group, go for it. 9 times out of 10 your not going to know the people, and they know some stuff too? The odds are against you if you take on a group. Even if you do win, was it worth it? If your thinking about movies and crap where they guy kicks everyones ass, your in the wrong forum. I don't have an ego, and if I can get away from a mutiple attacker situation, I'm happy. I have nothing to prove on the street, I do that in the dojo.

In a recent issure of Black belt mag, a champion kickboxer out of San Francisco was shot and killed in the street. The shooter backed into this guys car while he was at his gym training. So he takes off after him on foot, they exchange words, I think the kick boxer even lands blows, but he is still dead. Same thing here guys, you go out cocky with an ego your going to wind up dead.

Some martial arts teach things you can do against multiple attackers. But even then, the odds are strongly against you. If you do get out of the situation and later think "I could have taken those guys." That is stupid, and if you do take them on, you deserve what you get.
