So, you screwed up and are faced with multiple aggressors. They have not attacked you yet but are posturing.....typical street "thug" senerio. What is your next move?

I realize that this is a what if situation with many variables. My goal is to see what you guys are doing, thinking and or training to handle this situation.

I'd run also.. but without the stopping to take anybody down. Its just not sensible, who knows how "tough" any of these attackers are.. But sure, if you are positive you could take each of the people down within a couple seconds each and your keen for a fight.. haha go for your life

I think I would try to startle my attackers with something like throwing loose change and/or putting obstacles between myself and them and then run. The reason being that running is best done with a head start.

Based on the drills and training I've done I would say that you have to move and keep moving. If there is space to run then run. Using objects such as cars, walls, etc. to break up their attack. Utilize available weapons. Attack and move. If you stay still and wait on the attack they will probably overwhelm you.

I would probably try and run first, since I'm female and not very big. If I couldn't get away, I would try to get someplace against a wall or something so they couldn't surround me, and then just fight fist and teeth anything that comes near me. It's a long shot, but it's better than being surrounded on all sides, and maybe if I fight hard enough the rest of the pack will be deterred.

Salutations!

Once again, been there. Out on the streets the best choice is the "Running Gobling" technique, i.e., run like hell! But if in an enclosed environment like a pub or, God forbids, a cell block, what works best is to move, move and move. I f you let yourself to be sorrounded, you're dead. As mentioned above, use obstacles and movement to keep'em in front of you (kinda like a sheep dog moving the sheep). If any weapon of opportunity presents itself, don't pass it (I find myself very fond of broomsticks and chairs). Once you see an opening, GET OUT! Remember, for every person in the group, the odds of winning decrease by 50%! It's just not worth it.

Exactly,use everything around you to your advantage,especially long range weapons. Only if running is not an option,ofcourse.

Supposedly, if surrounded, and there's no way out, you go for the weakest guy in the gang, rush at him, do your worst, then go around the back of the other guy, do your worst, then go back through the center of the circle, repeat; keep moving, be on guard, and don't let them catch you off balance.

Cheap shots are not cheap if they save your life.

Simple,

I'd pull my Sig Sauer P232 and have at it.

Is that fair?

Just curious.

Maybe I should have said something along the lines of shooting chi-balls, jumping into cat-stances or, maybe just hitting first, hard and often?

I like answer number one though...
