Red Triangle student Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 How would you deal with a mug if about three men ambushed you and then tried to mug you? Personally i would use a very "SOS" version of karate were i would use shotokan karate and the most deadly moves imaginable or i would bite,spit or dop whatever it takes to get them away from me. "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
Ironberg Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Being as mad as I can be at the world sometimes - I'd have thoughts of lashing back come to mind as well. However, be mindful that your odds of survival are very very small. Wisdom will probably tell you to give them what they want and go away. It also depends on whether or not you are surrounded. If the three guys are simple standing in front of you behind the main guy, chances of survival are better. If they have tactically surrounded you - be prepared to take a number of hits. If a fight is inevitable - give it all your might. If it's just one guy, you should be able to stand up without much hesitation. A friend of mine was almost mugged with a knifer last year. He told him: "You can either remain here, or be gone" - the mugger left without a fight.

TheDevilAside Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 If they just wanted my wallet, I'd give it to them. I never carry more than 20 bucks anyway. If one of them were armed with a knife, I would run as fast as I could... assuming my wallet wouldn't be enough of a bribe. If none of them were armed, and they we looking for a fight more than loot, then I would pick the guy closest to me and do as much damage as I can, then the other two might change their minds and walk away. People who gang up on others three on one usually aren't very confident in their own ability, so it wouldn't take much to scare them away. But that's not always the case.

G Money Slick Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I would keep a switchblade by my side at all times. If your enemy refuses to be humbled......you must destroy him.
Ktonix Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 You say to a knife mugger. " Thats not a knife!, This is a KNIFE! " pull out bigger knife then him. - remember to add aussy accent to the saying as well.

Ironberg Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Or you could pull out a glock and point it at his face. Yeah, I know, it's cheap and not as fun as getting your knuckles bruised.

Shorinryu Sensei Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 How would you deal with a mug if about three men ambushed you and then tried to mug you? Personally i would use a very "SOS" version of karate were i would use shotokan karate and the most deadly moves imaginable or i would bite,spit or dop whatever it takes to get them away from me. You'd spit on them? I'll assume that remark was meant as humor...unless you have AIDS of course, then yes, it might kill them...eventually. I agree with Ironberg, in that the first thing I'd do, if all they wanted was my money, is give it to them. If, however, they wanted to fight, a lot depends on how they are standing in regards to you. In front is much easier to deal with, but surrounded isn't imposible by a long shot either. Personally, I'll fight only when there is no other recourse. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Jiyn Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 it really depends on the age size speed and strength of the person, if they were all adults i would run aqway but if it was people around my age or still in school i would probably not run away as i would want my pride and dignity to stay in place even if my nose doesent, then i would lash out and do any kind of damage to any part of the attackers body but here in liverpool they come over to you with their necks streched out and arms at their side almost asking you to take a shot at them. Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying!
Red Triangle student Posted April 27, 2004 Author Posted April 27, 2004 I think i would probably have a go at someone around the same age as me, but if their were men then i would try my best to get away. Whst i am trying to get at though is what would you do if you were absolutely cornered? "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
