Multiple Attackers: Are You Fooling Yourself…

Throughout the years I have been involved in a lot of practice against multiple attackers.  I’ve even had a little success in practice and in real life.  However, make no mistake I understand that having more than one attacker to deal with is simply bad karma!  It is hard enough dealing with one person armed or unarmed and when you add in another or even two or three attackers your odds go way, way, way down.  Simply put real life is not like the movies where the good guy takes on endless attackers and comes out unscathed.  Life rarely works out that way.  No instead one person usually loses to two committed attackers and the odds get even worse when you add more.  Never lose sight of this!  Always remember to try and even the odds in your favor by forcing them to attack you one on one or even better get away or get a tool to help your odds.  It is not impossible to survive against multiple attackers but it is extremely dangerous just like facing a knife empty handed.  Be a realist and do not fall for fantasy.  Always train to get an advantage!  Always train with the mindset of just how difficult life really is.  Forget fantasy!!!

See You On The Mats!!!
