The dead horse of multiple attackers keeps being beaten. And I think it should. It's an important question. But does any training that anyone know of address the idea of multiple defenders? Meaning, if you're out with a group, and you're attacked, how to move to maximize the effectiveness of the group, rather than just resorting to melee combat? Think of the Roman Legions and how much more effective they were man for man because of their group oriented tactics, than their enemies who often were individual "heroic" warriors. The legions mowed them down.
I know it is unlikely that you would be traveling in a group where several people are trained in the same martial art. But it's an interesting idea nonetheless. Systema is the only art I can think of that might have this training, and I don't even know for sure about this.
