Mark came down to Edinburgh last night and worked the guys through some multiple opponent drills. We worked up to taking a hostage to bargain with which makes perfect sense. Very often running is not an option, and trying to keep moving and evading your attackers generally only works in class. You will be fully adrenalised and your heart rate will be soaring, energy levels will be expended faster therefore a bargaining tool makes perfect sense. I read the other day on a site that KM teaches you how to deal with 15 on 1 attacks. Pure fantasy and the instructor obvioulsy has never been involved in a multiple attack. You need to learn this stuff and you need to learn it quickly. Watch some clips of multiple attacks on you tube and decide whether the curriculum you are learning in class would prepare you for the ferocity of that kind of attack. If your honest and it doesn't then you need to seek out further instruction and plug that gap. I hope to have some footage on the blog fairly soon. Again, a big thanks to Mark for coming to Edinburgh last night.
Thanks Mark!
ReplyDeleteI especially appreciated the advice about when & who can preempt attacks.
