Dealing with multiple opponents and how u handled it

[PaiLumUmar]

People see Samo Hung, Zhou Yun Fa, and Jet Li and believe this 1 vs. 10 thing can work. The reason why they believe it is because they train under some master who claims techniques are too deadly to practice and have never gone full contact.

Spar against 3 guys at once in your next class non-stop for 5 minutes. It can be done, but once you finish you will collapse in a pool of your own sweat/vomit and be a little tired.

Niiice, So many people think us CMA guys are all about waving our hands around Modern Wushu style.

I think every one ineterested in learning to defend oneself should do the 3 on 1. Sometimes give the attackers some washable markers and see how many times you get cut.

Reality Check people.

"Fighting for your honor against 3 guys is stupid."

Yup I've had to swollow some myself in the past. 7 guys talking all kinds of crap. That was a loose loose situation. So I left.

Thats good Kungfu.

our dojos curriculum involves full contact sparring angainst 3-5 people depending your rank.
For my 2nd degree brown i had to fight 4 for 5 minutes.
No matter what you do you get screwed up.
the only advice i have is keep fighting, keep moving and try to line up your opponents so they cant all get you at once.
its a lose lose situation to get into a fight with multiple attackers.
its best to run the other way.

You should never go around looking to fight anyone, let alone 2 or 3 people.
BUT, if you have to, you need attack the guy nearest to you first (sounds pretty obvious, but not everyone does) move around all the time, keeping the object of you affection inbetween you and the others, and be pretty damn vicious (think kneecaps and eyeballs), 'cos the longer you're there the more danger you're in. Then you have to run....

honor?

Swallow your pride, don't fight multiple people.



....some people

I agree when some of u tell him to try to escape. My master tells us to first avoid. THen if u cant avoid....block...if u cant block/avoid...then counter.

Guys,

So far my street fights have involved one to one where I have had to defend my honour. I now wish to focus on fighting 2 to 3 people at the same time.

I have begun hand and shin conditioning to make my strikes more powerful however I need to know what I need to do to beable to fight two people at once.

First of all the only reason you`ll be fighting more than 3 attackers is when all options of escape & avoiding such a confrontation are gone.

Being a good martial artist is to be smart. In a worse case scenario, no escape but to fight. The only way you`ll succeed are the following:
1. you must have a powerful punch or kick that would knock or seriously hurt your attackers with just 1 or 2 blows.
2. good reflexes, ability to land your attack & dodge the first 2 or 3 attacks.
3. instinct, ability to sense what your attackers are planning to do or knowing their moves.
4. move around when they attack, side to side focus your attention on the attacker on your blind side ( the back & side ). Chances are (95%) they`ll jump you at the same time.
5. expereince, if you are a high lvl fighter with good experience & your attackers are a bunch of amatuers & weak, then you might be able to drop then all or chase them away. But if your attackers are expereince fighters then you`ll be in trouble.
6. remember one of the basic principle of martial art as far as street fighting is concern is to out smart, out wit & to have an over whelming advantage of fire power over your assailant. That is why we train in martial art & that is to have an advantage over our attackers.

" if a person display his/ her incredible fighting skill, you whip out a sharp knife, if your attacker whip out a sharp knife, you pull out a gun or a long sword, if your attacker pull out a gun, you pull out an automatic weapon, & if your attacker has an automatic weapon, you use grenade luncher or jump into a tank, & if he is in a tank you use apache attack tank buster helicopter & when all means are exhuasted, NUKE `HEM.

help instead of putting down hihihi

2guys 3guys 4guys
it does not matter
rule one take out the biggest alfa guy first
rule two make sure if you go to hospital hes in the bed beside you
rule three target the eyes and groin
rule four you are already dead so you dont need to worry about it
rule five be first and make it count
by the way if you saw it coming and did'nt avoid it you deserve the hidding

Don't block("don't waste my time&quot

I agree when some of u tell him to try to escape. My master tells us to first avoid. THen if u cant avoid....block...if u cant block/avoid...then counter.

(it's a waste of time)-Attack their attack...Attack is the foundation of thought..."get the f*** out...get the f*** out...get the f**** outta ...."

Don't block- Don't fake. ATTACK the situation. (Like thunder!)

I would interpret...

"Retreat like dust of the earth"...to mean= no ego.

"Just do it". Michael Jordan said it all.

Making your hits more powerful is a good idea, but the most beneficial thing in my opinion is reaction. you gotta get faster. my last fight in fact was against three people. the best way to handle most of my multi-vs-1 fights is by blocking, possibly countering their blows after blocking, and controlling/throwing one of them for/in brief periods of time. Oh, and if your going to strike more, try to hit their bicep areas to wear out their arms(mainly if its like a fight induced from anger-ie: bully, grudge, 'schoolfights'), and also strikung their legs with tripping/sweeping type kicks.

Lastly, and also in a bully/anger-like situation, throws can be intimidating, and so can trips. if one of them goes down, the others may get nervous. May.

I really hope I helped. I'm not specifically a 'chinese-style' fighter, so I dont know if any of my post is relevent. Thanx for readin' it though.

I dont agree with those who are saying to simply not fight 3on1, etc fights. THey are great for training/practice, and are fun, regardless on how exhausing you may get. also, you might not nessesarily be out numbered in a hussled fight. it may be a few friends, or past sparring opponents. You people make it seem like this situation is always a bad thing. yes, when you dont stand a chance, you should avoid it, but perhaps he could stand a chance after his training, and some experience(which very well could be bad experiences). And pleasde dont say that he should only do this if his opponents are fragile,weak, and talentless fighters. That's a pointless and 'honorless fight if anything. Great thread bulletproofmonk (oh, and nice name...great movie, lol)
