Hi. It's ironic there was a big discussion about defense aganist multiple attackers and just recently I experienced the situaton on my own skin. I was returning from college in Queens, NY, at night when a couple of kids went by, one of them flashing his hand a sentimeter away from my face. Normally I would have probably just went on, but something really stupid inide of me decided to make an issue out of it. So, I called the guy up (twise) and he turned around and approached me, leaving the other kid and two chicks behind. I asked why he did what he did, but he was just playing a rap star, talkin' BS, so I got frustrated, told him to go f himself and walked away. Not so fast. Around 8 of his buddies were just comming by and their leader informed me, he's gonna "fuck me up," demonstratively taking his coat off. Well, I didn't say anything, just stood there. The other guys surrounded me. Not to waste time, I didn't even see the punch - it probably came from a person behind or to the side. I blinked my eyes and while they were closed, I heard about half a dozen more punches landing on my face. A moment later I was in a crawling position on my left knee and left arm pretty much. Several more punches came, this time from the right side. Then there were no more punches and I got up. I called 'em fuckin losers and sort of complained that 1on1 wasn't offered. The leader replied he can take me 1on1, but not as loud or enthusiastically as before. I approached him, punching his in a jaw, full weight. When he fell, I punched him twise more. He didn't move. No1 else moved. I picked up my book I had with me and walked away home. For the record, I've been practicing boxing for 4 years and Wing Chun for 1.2 years. Care to comment on my story? Thx.
