š„āļø Most People Get This Wrong About Multiple Attackers
What your instincts wonāt tell youāand why they might get you hurt.
Hey Warrior,
Violence can find us anywhere.
Thatās why we have to be prepared for it.
The problem? Most of us train exclusively for one on one senarios.
What to do if a guy grabs you a certain wayā¦
How to escape specific holdsā¦
Itās important stuff, but itās missing one important detail.
Most fights involve multiple attackers.
So buckle up.
Today Iām going to share the critical element you WONāT see covered in multiple-attacker training.
Letās get into it.
The Uncomfortable Truth
Most teaching advice for fighting groups will tell you toā¦
Keep movingā¦
Stack the attacker so youāre fighting one at a timeā¦
Grab one attacker and use them like a shield.
Heck, I teach this too.
But thereās a fundamental nuance missing here.
This is fight advice, not survival advice.
In order to survive you have to do something that goes against every fiber of your human instinctā¦
Real Violence.
Humans are social creatures.
Cooperation has helped us survive and thrive as a species.
Ironically, this instinct also fuels mob violence (but thatās a topic for another day).
How do you survive a group attack?
Beyond moving and stacking, you mustā¦
ā¦severly damage each attacker you engage.
Notice I didnāt say hurt. I said damage.
You need to break things.
You need to disable critical systems so your attacker canāt continue the fight.
So they canāt chase, punch, or grab.
Thatās how you really survive.
Thatās the secret.
Most people canāt (or wonāt) do it.
If thatās not something you can stomach, youād better be in great physical shape, agile, and ready to move fast.
Your life depends on it.
Stay Safe.
