My experience with multiple attackers.


Recommended Posts

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.

The blade is only silent until it cuts through your flesh.

Your right that was stupid, you should have just kept walking, I don't think you handled it as well as you could've, always avoid violence, don't let pride or your ego get in the way.

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

Well you shouldn't have said anything and just kept on walking.

 

But since you didn't I just wanted to say that good thing you taught the leader a leason :D

when you do your best it`s going to show.

Your lucky.

 

Things to keep in mind.

 

1. Always keep moving. You don't have to be dancing like you are when your sparring but do be in one place because it allows others to come in and hit you.

 

2. I don't care what anyone says if you can put you back to a wall so no one can get behind you do it. (this is only if you are already in a fight)

 

3. Take out the leader as you did.

 

4. Eyes, Groin, Knees, Throat, and any sort of breaks are you first targets.

 

I am glad you are ok.

Hm, staying in one spot wasn't the best choice, but I'm sure you know that. Personally, when they surrounded me I'd have gone straight for the leader and not waited for them to attack. When it's many on one normal rules really don't count.

 

That or I'd have tried to bait the leader into a one on one from the start.
