Multiple attackers are a very real, very scary situation to deal with.  In fact, most self-defense situations on the street will involve more than one attacker,  so I ask the question again… How do you eat an elephant?  The answer, everybody knows, is one bite at a time. It is the same when dealing with multiple attackers- one at a time.  We go over specific highly effective strikes that are easy to do while on the move. We teach the principle of “stacking up” and simple movement then before long you are not only “eating the elephant” but have finished it.  The interesting thing about multiples is that once we give the permission for the student to move, they do it naturally and only need a little help with the technique of “stacking up,” or one at a time.
