this post wasn't meant to insult the fighting prowess of anyone here. it wasn't meant to show the most effective way of handling this situation (which is not being in it to begin with), i submitted this clip because there is a never ending discussion on what to do if...ok, here was an example.
i have seen many fights start exactly this way. young adults or young drunks accost a single male. if someone had a better clip of someone dominating a fight, with more bruce lee style,technique and panache, i'd like to see it. anything else i've ever seen are basically one sided swarmings (and yes that is what happens the majority of the time).
though the fighters were unschooled brawlers, and it was a juvenile justification for fighting, the clip provided examples, when confronted by superior numbers, of the following;
1) keep them in front of you
2) take the initiative, hit first, hard and often
3) keep mobile
4) do not go to the ground! ever!
5) watch your back
6) take the first opportunity to get out of dodge
compare this to what the likes of geoff thompson, marc mcyoung, larry tatum or countless others advocate. it is in fact a good example of self defence against multiple opponents. true, there were no kicks to the knees, eye gouges, blood, gore and death, no "real fighting" , but if there were i probably wouldn't have felt comfortable watching it let alone posting it for others to watch.
to the moderators, wasn't aware of that policy, my mistake, no harm intended, remove if you feel it inappropriate.
