š„āļø How Many Can You Take At Once?
Why the movies get it wrongāand how you can get it right.
Hey Warrior,
I was watching Goldmemberā¦
ā¦wait.
You do like Austin Powers, right? You better.
Anyways. One of my favorite scenes is when Nigel Powers is fighting Dr. Evils henchmen and he says:
āWhat, is this your first day on the job or something? Look, this is how it goes; You try to attack me, one at a time, and I knock you out with a single punch. Ready? Go!ā
Itās hilarious because thatās how it goes in movies. Everyone takes turns.
But real life? Not quite.
Letās exploreā¦

Street fights aren't fair.
Especially when you're facing multiple opponents.
The reality is chaotic, unpredictable, and potentially deadly.
Your first move should always be finding a quick exit.
But what if running isn't an option?
Hereās the tactical truthā¦
ā¦If you have to engage multiple attackers, keep moving.
The last place you want to be is stuck in the middle of a swarm.
Constant movement makes it harder for your opponents to surround you.
And if youāre lucky, you'll end up engaging only one attacker at a time.
Your goal?
Turn a "many vs. one" into a series of brief "one-on-one" encounters.
Think like a chess player, always positioning yourself strategically.
Stay agile, keep circling, use obstacles, and never stop scanning for your exit.
Maybe youāll get lucky.
So I wanna knowā¦
