Gang Attacks

                                               One Against Three
                                               Situation Three: You are attacked
                                               from both sides and the rear. One of
                                               your assailants has a baseball bat.
                                               1) As the first attacker throws a left
                                                  hook at your head, duck and shift
                                                  to your right,* throwing a
                                                  combination of left shovel hook to
                                                  his groin and a left hook to his
                                                  throat. (Figs. 183 and 184)
                         Fig 183               2) Grab and push the first attacker into
                                                  the second attacker with the
                                                  baseball bat. (Fig. 185)
                                               3) Throw a front kick to the knee of
                                                  the third attacker. (Fig. 186)
                                               Leave the scene immediately.

                                               *The body shift has enabled you to see
                                               all three attackers and has placed you
                                               at an angular advantage to the first
                                               attacker.

                                               The sequence above paints a very
                                               clinical picture. It may, in reality,
                                               require several heavy blows on your
                                               part to damage any assailant, so it is
                                               vital to keep moving, twisting and
                                               ducking and using your attackers as
                                               shields and blinds. To re-emphasise:
                                               think, act and sound like the predator,
                                               not the prey.
                                                 Attitude and aggression may win
