I think his style could work equally well in the Olympics and on the street. _________________________ See how well I block your punches with my jaw!! Supporting everyone saying "nuts to cancer"

Poomse forms are the basic principle for taking on multiple attackers but more advanced techniques such as spilt kicks, double jump front kicks, etc... have be evolved. For my first degree testing, I have to fight at least 2 people at one time. One technique used in fighting two people at once it to take one out then fight the other one and then take him out and fight the other one thats getting up. Another technique is to make a straight line between you and your oppenents so you only fight one person at a time and your 2nd or 3rd oppenent cant kick or punch around the person that your fighting ex opp3-opp2-opp1---you

I think he's just being a smart ass... but any art would be stretched against multiper attackers, the success rate is going to depend on the skill of the defender ... and an art itself cant take on multiple attackers now can it

Leo_E_49 Professional Poster Registered: 02/24/05 Posts: 4117 Loc: California	From what I hear of Ninjutsu, they appear to have some techniques dedicated directly to dealing with multiple attackers, Systema apparently has some too. Apart from those two, TKD is imho technically equal to all other unarmed MA when it comes to multiple attackers. In fact, it has the advantage of being a standup art, which allows for more mobility. (Yes I know there are a lot of other standup MA, I said equal, not better) _________________________ Self Defense (Website by Marc MacYoung, not me)

PaulGenge Newbie Registered: 10/25/05 Posts: 9 Loc: Manchester, UK	Systema has a very different teaching method that does not rely on techniques. It does have various training drills and methods that develop the ability to work against multiples or within crowds. This comes from the Russian Bank Holiday past time of mass fights, often between opposing villages. For an article on our approach to learning to work in crowds please check the link. I hope it helps to shed some light on how we approach learning as well as some specific drills relating to this work. Learning to work in crowds article. Paul Genge Russian Martial Arts Northwest

LameDojoHater Member Registered: 11/30/05 Posts: 49	How to take down three attackers in three simple steps. 1. Three people come walking toward you with that "I'm gonna kick your ass" look. The first guy is walking about two feet ahead of the other two. Kwansu/Frontsnapkick him just below where the ribs meet. 2. The second attacker has a Knife. Frontsnapkick him in the nuts. Don't strike with your foot, but with your shin. 3. Now it's one on one. If you're a good practitioner you should easily win this. If you've been ripped off by a lame school then you're dead.
