Have you ever been in a real street fight against more than one person?

Basically have you ever been jumped by like a dozen guys before blind siding you and what did you do or how did it turn out for you?

Have you ever been in a real street fight against more than one person?
YES unfortunately ONCE in my life.





I was young and it was New Years eve and I was at a public teen dance club with my best friend. This was back in 1988 it was that long ago.





Well any ways one of the guys there did not like me because I was dating his ex girlfriend and I knew something was up because he kept staring at me I just did not know what he had in mind.





Well after new years was over my friend and I left and as we were walking by a section where people can stand behind unseen I was smacked across the face and my friend attacked also. It was my GF's ex and about 7+ of his friends, I cannot be sure how many to be exact.





They only hit me ONCE. Their sneak shot and that was it. i was young and only 17 but I was still a BB in Kenpo and lucky I was. I was NEVER wrestled to the ground, I was never hit anywhere else besides my arms or legs. I used the guy that was my GF's ex as a shield by grabbing him and when they struck at me they would hit him often. He soon stopped trying to grapple me.





Finally I had a chance to check on my best friend and he was lying on the ground in a pool of blood but was moving. I had to get away from them to help him. No one there seemed to care and no cops were around. I fended them off alone and managed to get my friend to his feet and dragged him to the city police station not far from us where we filed a report, then took a drive with them and found 7 of them while the cops drove us around to round them up.





We pressed simple assault charges and they had to do community service for it.





I DO NOT condone fighting, but I DO condone defending yourself and your friends and family.





Ten years later I was in Amsterdam, Netherlands and my friend was so out of it from partying all eve he was staring in a zone on the bus back to our locale where we were staying, me him, and two young ladies. Well his staring pissed off a local apparently for when we got off the bus he followed us and started yelling at my friend and started to approach him. I had an umbrella in my hands. I allowed the man to yell all he wanted at my friend but he noticed real fast every time he took a step toward my friend I took a closer step to him so I would have intervened at that rate. Once he noticed this and that I was NOT messed up like my friend but very awake and alert and had that umbrella ready to open up in his butt if I had too. He finished his yelling and backed away.





No one was hurt. So it is possible to prevent a fight just by standing your groung but not throwing the first punch. You have to know when to stand your ground, know when to back down, and when to walk away. Never should you count on winning a fight or starting one because no matter what anyone says you get hurt in it as well almost every time be it your hand, wrist, fingers. you end up bruising something on yourself, rarely do you ever walk away unscathed so why bother!!





so those are two of my four experiences. NONE but that first was ever a fight though, the other three I prevented via awareness and wit alone. Be fast with your hands sure, but be faster with your brain and wits and you will save your butt far more many time!!!

Reply:on my 16th birthday I got followed home by these 3 hobos and one jumped for me and fell over so I kicked him in gthe goolies and ran off.








Does that count?
Reply:no i never have i think fights are kinda stupid and what's the point of having one if one side is going to cheat and get about 12 guys to jump you it should be a fair one on one deal


i have gotten into fights before though but not with 12 people at once and won all of them considering there were only 3 of them
Reply:Yes, it is no fun at all and the paperwork is hell afterwards!
Reply:i got jumped by 3 men when i was 15. scariest moment of my life! im a small girl and it only took 2 to take me down. but i kept kicking and screaming my head off. i have taken self defense classes and i hit one of them with the heel of my palm under then chin and kicked one of them right in the balls. haha but someone came and helped me so i guess is wasnt really a street fight.
Reply:yea this has happened to me...i got jumped in town one night by myself...im a female but i can kick some ***...there was nine girls that jumped me...i went for the weaker ones first to distract the other ones...once i got them down and the stronger ones paying attention to them i used thier forces on themselves...i would dodge one of them that was attempting to punch me and then they would end up punching the one holding me so they all ended up getting knocked out and thats how it ended...now im the badass in town...its not always good to show your strength...then everybody wants to mess with you....
Reply:yup! lots a times.
Reply:Jumped by five guys on a picket line.. Blind sided at first went down and another came to kick me I reach up and grabbed his go nads a squeezed till he passed out. Took anothe glancing shot to the head but did not knock me over. Kicked another guy in the groin he went down I than turned around as a guy was swinging the baseball bat at me.. I took it away from him and swung it and broke his right leg (at the knee) I hit the other guy on the left arm and I know I broke it..... The last guy ran away.... I called the cops and they all got arrested for attempted murder (it was later dropped to simple assalt) The cops smiled. All six were hard cases from the Teamsters... I was (retired now) an operating engineer... Not really a tough guy but felt like I was fighting for my life... Grant M in Pennsylvania
Reply:Got in a fight .. 3 of us against 5 of them.. it was started when a guy slapped me... I knocked him out in one punch... pounded on another guy for a sec then one of their friends jumped at me from the side... I got an elbow into his chin and before I could get a punch off the bouncer pulled me out... I had enough wits about me to not hit the bouncer so they just let me leave for the night.. No big deal lol. But that's not good.. I've worked my whole life to try and control my very fierce Irish temper.. and it got the better of me that night.
Reply:some times u do what u gotta do. if he's really your "friend" then help him beat those haters up. that's what i would do...
Reply:Been jumped more than once by a few guys as I've cut through the Boston Common, and as I passed through the Charles River parks, both day %26amp; night, summer %26amp; winter. And always by black guys. I haven't been jumped or attempted mugged by white guys in over 25 years.





When you get attacked by more than one person you quickly realize how important it is to take a guy out as fast as humanly possible. And how advantageous it is to have a weapon to aid in diposing of a creep.





That is why I respect the realism of Kung fu with its finger strikes to the eyes, and the spear-hand to the throat of Karate. Jiu-jitsu's wristlocks are excellent to down a guy real quick so you can dispose of his buddy next.





Sometimes I've used Judo (OGoshi, Koshi Guruma, O Soto Gari) to down a guy while I move on my second attacker with hand strikes, then return to the other clown to finish him off (break his fingers, etc.). Then quickly leave the scene or else you will get hauled off to jail for successfully defending yourself (legal system really sucks).





I refuse to be intimidated by punks and always walk through the same path the next day going to and from work or dojo. But never tell anybody of those experiences.
Reply:******* 12 people run! You got nothing to prove they're too pussy to face your friend one on one so they gang up. They know they can't lose 12-1! But if it does happen and you can't run, aim for the balls and the throat. No joke no matter how strong someone is they still have a vulnerable dick and throat. and 12-1 they don't deserve sympathy/mercy
Reply:Yes :)*
