I do think martial arts training can help but i think it can give people a false sense of security..

How ;ong you do Tae Kwon do for?

I know knowing some Tae Kwon Doe doesn't make me a martial arts master. But I've been in a fight or two before anyway. So I know how to defend myself.

I'm sure you do but i think 2 vs 1 odds are a bit much for most ppl.

In the situation described - I presume the 2 guys are kinds preoccupied so i recon you have one sucker punch (or sucker kick for the Tae Kwon do guys).

I think this might level the playing field - one free shot - possibley from behind - then I think that might make it a 1v1 situation if u can KO with one shot. And if its a sucker punch then its a lot easier....

So i stand corrected - I might feel easier if i got one free puncho or kick.

No - i'm not playing the macho card.

What i was saying is - imagine a guy is standing there with a blindfold and you get to hit him once...thats what a sucker punch is.....so assuming that works then its 1v1...

So i'm being realistic in this silly scenario...

Sorry if u think my answer is being a hero or macho or some shit..

how about call the cops and yell for help while running away? that might make them disperse and if not either the cops will get there or some do gooder idiot will come to save the day.

If I was thinking clearly, I would attempt to distract them in some way, since I am pretty damn sure I couldn't hurt them (at least not much).

But as Ferox mentioned I don't trust cops to do right.....or even to show up to the party on time. :rolleyes:
