humblecanadiangojuguy Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I'm interested in what everyone thinks would be the best martial art to face two or more attackers in a street fight. Karate (what style?), Judo, Kung-fu, JJ, BJJ, Krav Maga or any others. Not a MMA style or two arts that some guy combined and no one has ever heard of before either. Is Aikido good at fighting multiple attackers ? Give me your ideas please and if you can back them up will a little information that would be nice also.

JerryLove Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Post 7 and it's a "what's the best art" question? I put a basics on multiple-attacker tactics http://www.clearsilat.com/silat/Articles/MultipleAttackers.htm Akido has a good MA [MultipleAttacker] approach, but generally lacks effacacy; arts like BJJ have a poor basic approach from a MA perspective, but are very effective and therefore easily modified to decent MA arts. I tend to personally like Systema, Bagua, and some of the Silat arts (particularly Tjikulung) as MA fighting styles. I would tend to avoid purely striking arts (despite having just recommended Systema) and arts which focus havily on an immobility game (say, wrestling). The real tricks are the art should remain mobile, have a real sense of position in relation to more than one attacker, and be able to deal with upright grappling; because you need to control your position relative to your attackers and it's pretty assured that if you are not grappling with one, you want to be. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humblecanadiangojuguy Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Thanks for the link. Any other suggestions out there ? Give me a link if you have one, I like looking at a good web site for Martial arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Aikijutsu, Budo Taijutsu (Jujutsu), Kung Fu San Soo, and depending on which Martial Arts you mix for MMA can be effective if they train for that or if one or more of the arts being mixed has multiple attacker techniques.

Treebranch Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 What if running means leaving a loved one behind? What then?

Reklats Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Then just give him your damn wallet. But what if he's a terrorist exclusively out to kill me for Allah? Since you're in the street already, find a piece of broken glass and try to grapple on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reklats Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 What if running means leaving a loved one behind? What then? Then they can help you fight! I know my girlfriend would at least provide pepper spray surpressing fire. about the wallets/bodies thing: If you give him your wallet, you've saved him a step! He should give you a couple bucks back for the convenience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Yeah, pepper spray! Now your talking! But you can't run and leave them behind. You might have know a little about multiple attack situations just to escape. No one is saying you can take on multiple opponents and beat them. You should at least study multiple attacker scenarios to have enough knowledge to get you the hell out of there.
