Multiple Attackers

  • If you cannot avoid an attack, block or jam it. If you cannot block an attack, roll with it to avoid injury.
  • Eliminate unnecessary movement.
  • While it may be quite effective one on one, during a multiple attack, applying an arm lock, leg lock, or choke on one attacker will allow the others to do whatever they want to you.
  • Do not waste time on things that are non-productive, only use effective techniques.
  • Create hesitation by stunning your opponents with powerful attacks, loud kiai, etc.
  • Strike with conviction.
  • Use objects and obstacles around you to your advantage
  • Use intimidation. Act bigger than you are, such as they way cats fluff up. Stand tall and expand your chest.
  • Attack the leader first.
  • Stay away from the center, work from the flanks.
  • Read the reaction to your actions.
  • While more opponents mean more chances of your getting hit, more opponents also mean you have more potential obstacles to use. You may use one opponent as a shield against an attack from another opponent.
