Multiple Opponents

[Badger]

I think the main thing(besides running)is to keep 1 bad guy between you & the other badguys-like maybe put 1 guy in a choke & use him as a shield until he's choked out,then throw him into the rest.

Personal experience has taught me a stick/pipe/club/etc can even things up.


How do yaal train for these situations?

You are right: try to keep one opponent in front of you to block the other opponents. However, I don't think chokes are the best strategy. They are awesome if you can pull it off, but let's face it, it can take up to 3-5 seconds to knock someone out if the choke is fully applied correctly. This is a LONG time in a real fight, plus this assumes that you didn't have to struggle at all to put the person in the position.

I think the best method is an eye shot or throat punch. You basically need a quick technique that will drop any opponent and keep them out of the fight. Try throwing something at the person's eyes like dust, dirt or even coins you have in your pocket--anything to buy some time.

Another somewhat goofy thing that you can do is say something to the people to let you fight one person. Tell them that you will fight their biggest/toughes guy. It's a LONG shot, but it may actually work.

All in all, I like your first thought: run.

gotta move,pick the weakest one(if you have time)and blast him out fast,then use him as a shield or run like like hell,hoping his body will trip up your pursuers.
Really ,though ,short of running away,all out offense is your best bet
