Combat Kick Boxing

One Against Four
Situation Four: You are surrounded
on all sides by four assailants. Two are
armed, one with a knife and one with
a baseball bat.
1) The first attacker throws a kick to
your groin. Counter by
sidestepping to the left, lower parry
with your right arm and throw a
roundhouse kick to his groin.
(Fig. 187) Fig 187
2) Push the first attacker into the
attacker carrying the baseball bat.
(Fig. 188)
3) Throw a side kick to the stomach
of the second attacker as he attacks
with a knife. (Fig. 189)
4) The third attacker makes a grab for
you with both hands. Slap down his
hands and throw a head-butt/right
knee to the groin combination.
(Fig. 190) Fig 188
5) Throw a right cross to the throat
of the attacker with the baseball bat.
(Fig. 191)
It cannot be emphasised enough that
you must move quickly and decisively.
Keep twisting and turning and get
them all in your line of sight.
The greater the number of assailants,
the greater the danger, if for no other
reason than time – time to hit them and
time to move. If attack is inevitable then
be in first. Strike as hard and fast as you Fig 189
can and be ruthless. Any other attitude
will see you dragged to the ground and
stamped on.
If you are downed, get up! Even if
you suffer blows as a result, in a gang
attack going down is the greatest
danger. People talk of courage in
fighting. Believe me, fear, ruthlessness
and the desire to win are more
important. Courage is so often
another’s perception of what he sees, Fig 190
not what the victim feels.
