This is HOW TO SURVIVE Getting Jumped 

Been in martial arts 37 years grew up in the damn war zone ghetto and I can vouch for this information. This is the way guys mobility and don't play their game. Play yours. Stay off the damn ground and for those that always wanted to know why rolling was something they taught in certain martial arts this video shows you exactly why.

I got total F-up by multiple attackers outside a shady nightclub in the 90s. I was taking down to the ground and stomped and kicked. I had No chance of getting up, I just curled up and took it. When it was over i had a broken jaw, bumps and bruises every where ,ribs face all f-ed up. If you can run, then run.

Never, never, never give up. You’ll want to. Best advice ever and 100% true.

Here's my story about surviving multiple attackers. It's the mid-90s, and I'm on the bus on the west side of Chicago in my sophomore year of high school. The previous year, I attended a Catholic high school and got kicked out. (This will come into play later.) I hear these guys talking about who will swing on me first. I get up from my seat and go to the back of the bus. I figured my chances were better if no one would attack me from the back. I'm telling myself to think, and that's when I remembered I had this little Bible in my backpack from Catholic school. I pulled out the Bible and started reading it like it was the most interesting thing on the planet. I noticed one of the guys slapped his friend's leg and nodded at my Bible. I was spared.

As someone who has been in far more fights than my name would suggest, every word he said is 100% accurate. I’ve dealt with multiple attackers three times in my life and talked my way out of two, while using my brain and some brutality to get out of the last one. The first time I was about 19 and a huge hit head. About 15 guys were messing with my friend so I went out there with a screwdriver. I told them that they were going to win but I was going to kill the first three that got near me. I asked if they wanted to vote on who those three were, or draw straws, I didn’t care but let’s go. They all left. The second time, a buddy pissed off this guy and when we walked out of the bar, there were about 12 of them waiting for us. The main guy’s girlfriend was yelling at him not to fight and I used it to my advantage. I told him that they would win, but I was going to wreck him until his friends dragged me off. So basically, he could go have sex with his smoke show girlfriend or end up in the hospital bed next to me. He walked away. The last time, I was in my late 30’s. A little wiser and less of a hothead. Three guys decided they wanted to fight me in a bar. The most aggressive one started to push me and I let him push me until we were about 8 feet away from his two friends. Then as he came in to push me again, I timed it so he walked into a crisp right cross that sent him through their table unconscious. The other two weren’t very excited about fighting after that since it was clear I was well trained and they weren’t. Long story short, use your head and stay calm. If you get an out, take it. Otherwise, give the aggressor an out and single him out as the one who is going to get hurt. This shatters the tendency to feel what’s called “diffusion of responsibility” in the group because the most aggressive guy now knows he’s not getting out of this without taking a beating. Usually, that will be enough. However, when it’s not and a fight becomes inevitable, hit first, be brutal, and don’t give up. Most guys don’t want to get hurt over someone else’s problem. Most of them are there for the fun of stomping you out. If you start really hurting people and use movement to set up one on one’s, a lot of people will not want to be in that situation. If you seriously hurt a few guys, most of the rest will start to rethink the fight. The looks on the faces of the two guys after I shattered their bigger, stronger friend’s face and left him lifeless on the floor in the middle of a broken table with beer all over him, made it clear they wanted no part of me. So I just walked away. Three times I was in a really bad situation and all three times I walked away untouched by using my head, staying calm, and when I had no choice, using my training to send a message that I wasn’t going to be easy to bring down. Bottom line, you can walk away from those situations or at least not get terribly hurt if you can keep yourself together and not appear weak. Predators thrive on the weak. If they know you will gladly take an ambulance ride so long as five of them are coming with you, you became a far less appealing target. And finally, if the fight happens, they are no rules. There is no pride in an “honorable” defeat. Punch guys in the balls, kick out knees, gouge eyes, bite, and do whatever you have to. You’re not in a ring, you’re in a fight for your life, so fighting dirty is fine. And as he says, never go to the ground. I fight best on the ground, but against multiple attackers, going to the ground to choke one guy out just means 11 guys start kicking you. Stay on your feet and NEVER kick above the knee. Finally, if they have weapons, do whatever you can to avoid a fight and get out of there. I always carry a knife but even with it, I’m not doing anything to a bunch of guys with weapons. Don’t get surrounded and get out of there, even if you have to run away. And if you do run away, you’re likely not outrunning them all so run until you find any place that is open, get inside, and have someone call the police. It all seems like a lot to remember, but if you can remain calm, the best course of action will usually make itself clear to you. Stay safe out there.

Exactly as he says they will come back, with reinforcements. If you get in a fight or altercation with somebody do not stick around. Don't finish your beer, don't pass Go just get gone.

30 years in public safety from bouncer to firefighter to cop I've seen many attacks go down. If it's a group, all you can do is hope to survive without much damage. First order of business is to get the heck outta dodge. I don't like and try to avoid large groups because of this.

I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE, I ALWAYS RUN LIKE USAIN BOLT, NO SCARS GO FIGURE

Yes, so important to practice getting up. Sounds simple, it is ...for kids. Try it 10 times as an adult and it's a workout! Nice work.

As someone who grew up street fighting this guy is 100% accurate. Do not go to ground and do not get surrounded. Most fights aim to ground but you must pop up quick.

What I've used effectively in the past is constant movement. Positioning myself at points where the attackers were then forced to adjust their position. Move quick and often enough for their brains to be unable to formulate a plan of attack. Throw them into each other and strike when opportunities arise. A high level of conditioning is important. You don't want to get tired in the middle of a fight. As the man said, avoid ground fighting. It may be useful against one person, but puts you at a major disadvantage when fighting multiple opponents. Also, be aware of your surroundings. There may be things you can use against them, but also things that may be used against you.

Best advice I've learned is to run away. If you can't, then fight like it's your last moments because it might just be. Grab and use anything and play dirty ie eye pokes, nut cracker, etc. Don't stay down, keep moving and don't get surrounded. Always keep everyone in sight because of back attacks.

Sometimes it's better to make a good run than a bad stand .

As a British martial artist I have it easy, we are a nation of queuers- we love a line and baddies will patiently and politely line up in front of you . Nice chaps.

as a guy who grew up in the hood getting in fights I dealt with getting jumped by up to 5 guys at a time for just crossing the wrong street. Once I started training in boxing and joining the school wrestling team I learned a few things...boxing helped punch on the back foot/angles and wrestling helped get to my feet if I got knocked down and the conditioning helped me run my butt off. Key thing I learned is not get surrounded...movement movement angles quick straight punches and I learned how to teep and low kick too...run get distance repeat if your not faster...keep breathing under control. By junior in year HS I was left alone I was headache to deal with at that point. Dealing with gangs are no fun...but I mastered how not to get jumped lol. I had a knife pulled on me too I just ran at criss cross angles incase he tried to throw it. I had PTSD behind it but I got better once I moved out the city for college.

As a guy who walked away from a 10-1 fight, I agree 100%, do jot stay down, I walked away with 7 of them down and 3 wanted nothing to do with the situation. Crazy world we live in. Situational awareness.

I've seen two guys work together, and one got behind the dude. They were fighting. One pulled the other backwards, and he didn't have time to do shit. He got yanked backward he wasnt rollling, no whre or any of that other shit. He got the boots put to him. Less rhan 10 seconds later he was needing a ambulance. If you are attacked by more than one guy, protect your back and do whatever it takes. Run if possible

I agree 100%. Where I grew up fighting was normal between one on one and with groups. When I studied Japanese jujitsu later in life we had guys that performed perfect jujitsu but couldn’t fight We often sparred hard and they would curl up when really hit. We called those guys seminar jujitsu masters. Looks good but can’t make it work for real. To fight is the only way to get good. In the street you don’t necessarily have to win just surviving is the victory. I graduated in 1984 gen x.

You may call me childish but this is what Koga, character from my favorite game said: "Lesson 1: Always strike first" "Lesson 2: Use every tool to your advantage "Lesson 3: Never fight someone you know you can't beat"

To support the point, in case you think you can do something in a fight when outnumbered: My father was beaten into a hospital by a group of teens right as he got out of the military. He was strong, his martial arts knowledge was fresh and aimed at damage, not sport, but he got jumped at night before he could do anything. As Sick Puppies used to sing: Some fights are just ain't fair

If you are merely looking to *survive* getting jumped, this is how. - Lose your ego. You can either be dead or alive and making a difference in people's lives. Nobody is going to remember how tough you were fighting for your life. - Cardio, if they can't catch you, they can't jump you. - Don't put yourself in situations where this could happen, ie clubbing and bars.

Back in school days when I was around 12 I faced 4 opponents who had it in for me for no real reason. But I had zero experience how to fight/defend etc but something inside of me switched me into monster mode because all I remember is using my head like a sledgehammer connecting with 3 of them. One of them caught it flush straight on the nose. It exploded like a ripe tomato and remained a deep purple bruise for weeks after. Bigger kids saw us all lined up outside the headmasters office, they asked what had we done? My 4 enemies said 'fighting'. Bigger kids asked 'what, you mean a 3 on 2 situation'? They said 'No, it was all him attacking us 4!' Bigger kids looked at me with respect. I never faced a situation like that ever again in my school days.

ANECDOTAL - 3 ON 1 SCENARIO I had been in this situation, several times in my youth. What he says about getting right back up, always moving around, is exactly what you have to do. The one fight I was in, with three guys, I remember doing exactly what this guy did...kept moving around so they could not get behind me, or attack me simultaneously. Now I knew they would not give up, so what I did was try to wear them down a bit, picking the weakest of the three to concentrate on. My thought in that moment was to eliminate one of the attackers. This meant that I had to go to the ground. What I did was knock this guy on his ass, jumping on his legs to try and break one. I actually broke one of his ankles...but it worked, he was no longer in the fight. Then I applied this tactic again, eventually getting another from behind, choking him out. I took a lot of hits and was very sore the next day. One thing is for certain, if you fight you are going to get hit. There's no avoiding it, especially with multiple attackers. Hopefully your adrenaline and stamina can outlast theirs? If nothing else, work on your cardio!!!! But remember, there is usually one guy in the fight who is weaker than the rest. The only reason he is in the fight, is because he has his buddies to back him up...use this, if you can. Terrorize that individual as much as you can, or try to take him out. It will be one less asshole to worry about.

Even the Spartans made it clear Never let your back hit the ground

I believe there are few things you can do: 1. Bring a pew pew 2nd: you have massive guns(muscles and fighting skill) 3rd Secret technique.... Run no jutsu!

I don't blame the Roman legionaries or modern green berets for wanting backup.

It's interesting but in several YT videos I've heard similar advice. If forced to fight a group of assailants, don't wait to be attacked, and don't let yourself be encircled. Fight the opponents with simple boxing: left jabs, right crosses, maybe hooks. Keep moving from opponent to opponent, left hand jabs then right crosses. Keep moving. The principle is that in all likelihood your attackers are not trained boxers. If they were, it would be over for you. Now you can add, if pushed down get up fast.

Taking the out” is the best advice here. As a kid I never did, and I question if I would now I’m 35. I never wanted anyone to feel like they could intimidate whoever they wanted, and I was in so many situations I could have been killed or disabled. I was lucky and if you know yourself already it’s not worth it.

I got into it a few times with multiple guys. My main focus was always guiding them to narrow areas like between cars or lining them up by sweeping around them so it could be one on one. It never failed me. Mainly because I could strike and my center of balance is low from my short legs so I could stay standing. One good tip though is always stay moving because I watched a few heavy swings miss me from the side because I never stopped ducking and dodging.

As a teenager I boxed (only sparred, never fought competitively) but I always remember the first thing coach said to us when we turned up to fight was “this is the first thing I will ever teach you - your first option is to aim not to fight. Always aim to avoid fighting. That’s why pro boxers choose who they agree to fight with - they don’t take on all comers. Everything else I teach you is how to handle yourself the other 5% of the time - when you HAVE to fight”. That was not what we expected him to say.

As a small man, I always go for the biggest dude. Once he is down, you fain some respect.

good info.....pride is a hard pill to take.....

I am happy that you make these videos for those who would often find themselves in situations like these. While i personally may not be able to relate to a situation like this because i dont interact too much with the shady population or even be out at night much, it is still very interesting to learn of self defense techniques

Good stuff, thanks.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

That was real advice....much respect.

I can't run or fight much, (20 years plus since I saw 40)so my weapon is humour, which has served me well. My most powerful strike is making an aggressor or aggressors laugh, perhaps consider me a harmless fool. Only thing on the floor is my dignity, but I walk away.

That's what self defence training should be about: risk management! You are not going to win a fight against multiple opponents, you can only do your best to survive. Fighting technique only buys you an opportunity to run, training gives you more time to wait for that opportunity to come. Mobility is the key: stay out of range, don't get stuck, do your best to fight one dude at the time. But knowing how to stay calm and de-escalate conflicts is the first step od risk management and self defense. I am grateful I took a Self defense course from a friend of my master (for free, I was the "bad guy" for de demonstrations, occasionally getting tossed around like a rag doll): I trained in Savate, Kung fu and BJJ for most of my life, and I was surprised how the most effective part was the psychological aspect of managing a bad situation.

Bro is doing the Darksouls move

Great information! I don't fight or try to get in nasty situations, but this is good to know. Thank you!

Well expressed!

I learned something new here. That was, when being surrounded by multiple opponents, there is a very brief opportunity where you can retreat, walk away. Wait too long and the opportunity vanishes as the group moves in to attack.

Thank you for the info.

It's 1 on 1 until my friend starts losing, and it is how we played it. I got jumped many, many times. The main thing u must remember is dont go to the ground . Make sure to keep ur feet , and keep moving . I also got hit with a Police baton, guy hit me in the forehead , it looked like an egg with a crack in it. I never fought so hard to make it back to my car. You covered everything i learned the hard way. The part about squaring off with one . I just kept moving grabbing guys throwing them into each other anything to make aure i didnt get stomped out.

Thank you 😊

I feloniously carried a gun for a decade, until the law changed in a certain state. You're out of your mind to not ccw if you can legally do so.

Good stuff. 👍

This just reaffirms something i was told several times growing up. While sometimes there are times you have to fight, in some cases its better to walk away as a coward, than to die a hero. The situations i grew up in werent as bad as 'hood life' and such, but there were still times where running from a pointless fight was the best outcome. Dad always told me even back when i was young "pick your battles". Also, in my experience, $10 aint worth it, if a guy or a group of guys is set on fighting you to take your money, if you aint got much on you at the time, just give it to them (if they have you blocked off or whatever). If they're that desperate, they probly dont 'want' to fight, but will if it means they can get the money to either eat that night, or to feed their drug/alcohol habits (that was a common type of people where i grew up). So also if its a rough neighbourhood, dont carry $200+ on you if you dont have to.

outstanding video man soo true

This is why cardio/road work is the foundation- run away lol

Nice video pal lot of good and evergreen common sense in that, bravo

BJJ fighter should pay attention to this, with all due respect. Thank you very much for the very informative video.

Great life lesson and talk bro, stay on your feet and get off the X.

Very good info. Only thing I would add is use your surroundings. If you can get to a place that bottlenecks your attackers do so. That way you are not really fighting all of them at once. Its the same concept as stacking that he mentioned. This can be as simple as keeping your back close to a wall. That way you only have to protect 180 degrees and don't have to worry about taking a bottle or something to the back of the head. Putting your back to a wall could be more of a disadvantage though if it's only 2 or 3 people because it limits your ability to move and it's not to horribly difficult to keep that many in front of you.

Yep ~ it is like this !

The only time I heard of someone going to ground and surviving was a friend I used to train with got jumped by half a dozen dudes, and when my buddy was knocked down he had a very short bladed knife on him hard to see and just started stabbing at legs coming at him. Thighs etc. They all backed up real fast and he got up to keep them at bay until the cops came. The cops took his blade but knew he didn't start it (witnesses). Some of the attackers were bleeding badly. I think about that a lot. Like a last resort.

Knives are especially dangerous, you can be slashed or stabbed but not know it because of the adrenaline. Town I grew up in received an influx of the most unsavory element from the projects of Chicago. Crime went through the roof. I walked right into a shakedown. There were a dozen young men surrounding me, but I saw no weapons. In the split second it takes to make a decision, alot of thoughts can go through your head. I was curious why there were no weapons, so I quickly scanned the faces of my would be attackers and realized two things. At least 3 of them looked to be teenagers, and most of them did not have the hardened face of a killer. I know myself, my background and temperament meant serious harm and death for them. (Not bragging, I initially took martial arts to learn to channel my temper because I would blackout as a kid when I was attacked.) In my heart I am not a sadist and I value life. I decided to give them a pass, I started laughing at their leader. I couldn't help it, I was so relieved that they were amateurs, which meant I would not be forced to act. I walked right through the group. Later I did call the cops and told them those hoodlums were lucky they ran into someone with a sense of humor.

Run!

Thatt real life shit and this man is a solid individual. You can back out of a fight gracefully. Even if you have to say of course 3 to 5 of you would have the upper hand. But that everyone involved values their life to the enough extent that it ain't worth made a situation deadly.

There's only one rule that really works... Don't allow yourself to be in the middle

I've seen this strategy before when you're going against many opponents at once In the book of five rings, written by a famous duelist, Miyamoto Musashi, there's a strategy called "There are many enemies", which is really identical to the technique shown here. Though the book of five rings focuses on sword combat, what they both have in common regarding this strategy is getting the enemies to pile up together like a fishing line (parallel), strike the enemies as they advance and observe their attacking order to take advantage of it. My point is, this guy may or may not have re -invented an actual strategy from an actual legend, and he can be trusted with his advice on martial arts. As a Book Of Five Rings nerd, I approve of this channel's teachings! W content, btw, keep it up! 💪💪💪

Great information. I probably can't roll like that anymore 🤣 That means it's time to start training. I've been in some sketchy situations where I would have had to face more than one opponent. Each and every time I conceded and managed to talk my way out of it. Except for this one time in Seattle where I put my hand in my pocket acting like I was holding onto a weapon and calmly kept walking. Someone in that group was laughing and said I had a tough man walk 🤣 Though my mentality was that if I was going down, I'm at least taking one of them with me.

You can tell when someone is not telling the truth. He or she won’t look directly at you.

I was in Houston few yrs back working nights. I had a 2 hr walk home thru some seedy section when these 7-8 dudes jumped me. He is right about going to the ground. Luckily, these guys weren't great fighters, I spent my whole time doing throws and blocking drugged out punches. These same guys did this a bunch of times. I dont know why. One time, I dropped a guy on his head and he didn't move the whole time(I thought he was dead!😮) after that time, the next time I passed thru, an old man in a wheelchair yelled out: "You got em youngsta!" I guess I won?😢😊 My training(not my technique) saved me

Half the time crooks will have friends with them--survived one attack 2 on one by avoiding the initial attack and taking the first guy out--his friend took off, survived a second attack of multiple guys (like 7 or 9) because a guy that knew me jumped in and started taking guys out from behind, survived an encounter with a drug guy and about a dozen of his friends by beating him up so badly (he couldn't fight at all) his druggie friends decided that while they could do it, it just wasn't worth it. Best thing to be is not to be there. This guy's advice is solid, keep moving, don't quit, look for how to stay off the ground and how to get away.

Only have experience with 3 people in a fight. Even that took everything I had I wouldn't want to go through it again. Took a ton of body blows that made me feel like my legs were made of solid brick. I only managed it due to head movement and leg work. I had no formal training so street fights before had trained me for this type of scenario but it was still scary af. Sure at the end you got all 3 on the ground groaning and you feel like a king but I learned the signs and got good at avoding any type of fight after that. That fight almost had me break my hand from punching those guys since I had to basically punch wildly while they were aiming to knock me out with kicks and elbow shots.

Honestly, I thought the best thing to do was just find a way out of there and run. Just roll until you find an exit. Then run like the wind😆

I thought this was some tough talk but he is right.. and stacking is so tiresome if you have no condition and if your drank beter walk away and only fight if you have to great content 👏🏽👏🏽

I am 56 now but I have some battle scars to show for it all over my body. If I could give one bit of advice to save your life with multiple attackers is to keep moving. Those who move survive and those who stop die. Another lesson to learn is that everything can become a makeshift weapon. If things are about to go down and you have no way out at the time, stall until you can get out of the situation or fight your way out. Look around you for anything that can become a weapon. I took my own belt off a couple times to hold back attackers with knives until I could back my way out and run. Make sure your pants won't drop around your ankles. My waist was narrow enough that my pants would not fall down. I had buckles I wore that were heavy pewter with 1 stud on the back to catch holes. A guy with a knife could not get close to me or I could control his knife arm or another one by wrapping it up in the belt. I also could do some serious damage to the face with it. I had nothing around me to pick up but my belt did the trick.

7:01 thins is how i kill mob when i grind in video game

I love you quoted Kenny Rodgers

Years ago 3 guys came to fight. Soon one tried to go behind.. I managed to sweep by leg kick nearest guy to the street and got hole to ran fast away.😊 I think that is the point. Must to do something before you get enemy in your back too..

The part where they leave u a chance to leave is so true I had an incounter with one of the streets guys when i was younger, and in the same 2 hours the guy brought around 6 of his buddies and they were wanting for me on my way back to home and surrounded me, gave an option of either no messing with them again or get beat up now. I was a kid but not a dumbass and i chose tge first option and they never harrased me since

His face every time some loud vehicle goes by 😂 I can relate but it’s from my house at 10pm

Worst inbalance I was in was a 6 on 1 on the playground after dark. It really should have been a 6 on 2 but my buddy froze up and did nothing. I pretty much did what you mentioned as 6 people did not have room to maneuver against 1. Also my first priority was to arm myself/get an object in my hand, in this case sporting goods equipment. Don't go to ground. Don't get surrounded. Make stacks, use bottlenecks, create blockages, use terrain, gravity, acceleration if possible. And, I knew that it was not truly a 6 on 1, because there was an Alpha, and a lieutenant. Plus a big grunt enforcer. All the others were essentially bystander followers with no motivation on their own. I used my favorite tactic... the sucker punch. I know it is dirty fighting, but I was obviously not the aggressor and all I wanted was to just leave in peace. I surprised the Alpha, threatened/scared the second. And my friend and I backed away.

Stay alert and vigilant. Learn to properly use a handgun and carry it concealed consistently. Stay away from alcohol and areas with a bad reputation!

While traveling Columbia ' Cartagena' i was attacked by a local gang leaving a night club ... I knew I had only 1 option ... STAND MY GROUND & DON'T GIVE UP! Sure I got the beating of my life, but in the end I HAD THEIR RESPECT.

about the stacking i can vounch for it , i have been in alot of situations which that saved my life ,i also have a trick that when alot of people come at me i just go to a tight space that not a people can get throught to punch me or kick me also use your surrounding elements a pole or a car or run and get behind a corner you can get a suprise attack that way

Me n my friend fought about 7-8 guys too, I remember that the only reason we not only survived but surprisingly won was that we made it a priority to look out for each other not to go on the floor for too long instead of actually protecting ourselves instead(I only found out we won from the police speaking to both sides and he said some of them came off worse plus they’re pressing charges, even the police laughed at them 😂 long story), we protected each other from falling or for too long, 3 secs is too long btw. This is a certified advice bro 👌🏾

An average American women def need it to protect herself from random mfs stalking her for no reasons

True. 100% agree. Run if you can, if you dont run, smoke, drink and do drugs, dont run. You will spend your breath on running, will be caught up and without a breath completely unable to fight vs two fit grannys. Also, i would say thats its maybe the most dangerous/unwanted situation to fight 1 on 3 on open. Than your chances are close to zero if all 4 are similar skilled and stamina.

True life saving information, many years ok I had a face of in a bar confident I could take the weasel out unknown to me it was a local bar and the bar exploded on me got knocked to the ground managed to get up threw several out of the way and covered my head with my arms and ran like hell, lucky slight cut on the head

As a boxer, I always choose to be bold and go for single strongest person on the group and always people got scared. I was dumb. Later, I started to lower aggresiveness and get away. If I ever felt like I have no chance or any risks of high level injury, I was would run. Nobody can catch up anyways. If they do, they probably would change their mind tho but train running

I think this was an outstanding location to create this video. I certainly enjoyed the part where I had to struggle with all of my might and rewind multiple times then add subtitles to hear what is being said because of all the noise. That was my favourite part 😄

Great advice. Like most people in the comments here, I grew up in the hood. Things were always going down. The worst I was ever involved in was 100 to 1 street fight. I just kept punching and kicking and just kept telling myself, "Don't go down". Within a few seconds that one guy was down and the 100 of us walked away. Don't go down.

Every time that lil Wayne song comes on, I change the words. I ain’t never ran from ‘bout 7-8 people and they were all togetherrr- Whatever!…I threw the keys to my friend , told them to roll and took off through the woods. And I didn’t have to tell anyone’s mother why I didn’t bring them home. And the best part is I knew exactly who they were and they didn’t know me. I took my friends home and sawed up the 2x4’s that were in the bed of the truck I was driving. Went uptown and stood there waiting because everybody comes through at some point during the night. Never saw any one of those bitches again a day in my life

I didn't expect you doing Judorolls.

I can think of 4 times in my life where I was confronted or attacked by at least 3 people and what's worked for me was to act confident and aggressive while always trying to calmly retreat, I think in 3/4 of those situations I was growling at them wile explaining how badly I was going to hurt the 1st person who touches me , while trying to calmly retreat of course

STACKING: "Like sand in the wind, keep moving." Spoken by actor David Carradine, playing the role of a legendary swordsman ranger in a scene where he is attacked by multiple assailants in the 1978 science fiction movie, "Deathsport". That is what this young man is demonstrating. He is not standing in one position. He is moving among the attackers. It was also mentioned in another YT video about using boxing against multiple opponents. The advice was to attack the group not let yourself be attacked by them. The late Bruce Tegner advised going after the group leader or the biggest man first. Of course this video shows that it might not be possible all the time if you are stacking, that is, like sand in the wind, always moving.

roll out....... yes

Looks like a bit of Judo rolling etc to get back up from the ground. Good advice.

I always had the thought that if you have no choice but to fight target one with lethal strikes and jump to the next kinda like he said about stacking

A lot of times there will be one guy that isn't quite as evil as the others and will try to give you a way out, by pretending to dominate you so that the others will back off. He doesn't want to look bad to his friends, but will give you an opportunity to escape. Use that opportunity to play it cool and get out of there. The cat calls while walking away are a good sign that they won't pursue.

Also in Kung Fu I learned to cover my face and roll if I'm on the ground. You can also do windshield wiper kicks from the ground position.

best to avoid fighting, but it's interesting how so many hardcore MMA guys end up teaching basic aikido techniques, including Rickson Gracie, the guy in this video was answering every keyboard warrior's questions of why aikido training is cooperative... it's because most of aikido is learning how to fall (ukemi) and get back up again, just like this guy said and showed.

Just in case... there is a Milwaukee tool at Home Depot called "duct knife" ( look it up now ) with a 5.5 inch pointed blade. It's basically a military knife sold as a construction tool. I throw it "no-spin" ( grip by the handle, the most practical for self-defence ) from under 10 feet. The knife flight might be 1/10 of a second - the attacker has no chance! You are out of the danger zone, you impose your fighting rules. The easiest ( not the fastest ) way to learn is to use a military half-spin ( you hold the blade ). Btw, yes, I had a fight against 3 guys once, one of them with a knife. Got slashed once to the face but... I won.

So the lesson here kids is stay in college instead of hanging out in nightclubs or joining a biker gang. 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️😂💁🏼‍♂️

I was taught hit move kick move never give them a sitting target never allow them to corner you always look for the openings make an opening if you have to hit move kick move just never stay still

Basically, take an out if available. If not, don't turtle. I see many comments from the 90s, that was street fight era right there and I have so many stories and scares from it. Taking your out: I was surrounded by about 6 guys that really wanted to hurt me bad. (it was an ongoing feud that they could not win one on one) I knew they didn't want to kill me, but in any fight accidents happen. I basically looked them all in the eyes and said "You want to do this, lets go! But guaranteed you better kill me because I will hunt you all one by one and finish this once and for all" I survived that night. Never Turtle: The key to this is always be aware of your surroundings, especially when in unknown territory. I have never gone down in a fair fight but sometimes they take that out of the equation. There where a few times that I was attacked from behind and hit the ground unconscious. I would love to share those stories but I am not here to write a novel, just sharing some insight. Also, These comments are from a stupid kid born in the 70s, enjoyed the 80s, and fought his way through the 90s. Not your normal self defense when you have a target on your back. Even with that said I recently was attacked from behind at the age of 50 so it can still happen. #1 I was complacent with my environment and not paying attention to my surroundings. There really is no #2, I was just lucky this guy didn't know what he was getting into.
