In so many action movies out there, it is commonplace for a single man to dispatch multiple attackers with a few quick moves. In real life that is not the case however.

Multiple attackers are a very serious scenario for even the most advanced martial arts practitioners. Even defending yourself against one person who wants to hurt you is a serious situation, let alone more than one guy.

In the following video we see how one motorcyclist deals with multiple attackers during a road rage incident and though he does not finish them all emphatically there is still much to learn from his approach as he is successful in defending himself without taking very much damage.

Though both parties could have handled this situation non-violently, the biker did some things which kept him safe during this high stakes encounter.

For one, he is not overly aggressive. Though he finishes the initial attacker who attacks him first, he is very defensive minded afterwards and is looking to escape unharmed rather than finish all comers.

Notice the biker is always keeping his hands up high, which allows him to block a lot of the offense from all four of his attackers. Also, important to note he is putting out some offense out there as well. Though he is very defensive minded, he does put out some offensive movements which keeps his attackers on their toes and makes them think twice before getting too aggressive.

It takes a lot of confidence to fight back in a situation like this but it is important because if you simply turtle up and not move the attackers might take that for weakness and you might be quickly overwhelmed and possibly seriously injured.

Though the video cuts out at the end, the motorcyclist does a good job minimizing the damage despite fighting four guys at once.
