What is the best martial art that to defend my self against a number of people who have weapons??

Question

I'm looking for a martial art that will teach me to defend my self against a number of attackers who have weapons. Im looking for one that is not deadly like it doesn't teach me to completely kill my opponent and its not illegal for 13 year olds and i can learn it in Melbourne can anyone help me??

Answer 1

If a number of people with weapons attack you, run for your life, or YOU WILL GET KILLED.

Answer 2

Krav Maga (what I study) is your best bet. In fact a good part of the training involves dealing with unfavorable and bad positions you're put in and fighting out of it. For example, my instructor has put myself and other students in one against 4 5 or even 6 opponents, filled the room full of fog and turned up a stereo to max volume, blindfolded, restricted movements etc. They also teach you close range disarming techniques, designed to inflict damage on the bad guy and get his weapon away from you without any damage taken.

There are no Katas in Krav Maga, no groundwork or submissions (although plenty of take down defense), no lengthy routines, just direct attack methods that are based in instinctual movements. You learn how to use your body as a weapon, to use your opponents body and his weapon against him, and learn how to use the environment around you to your advantage, gaining position and ground or even finding an improvised weapon.

Hopefully that answers the question for you.

Answer 4

The art of Tao Jeki (Feet of Lightning)

You run like a m**o the h**l out of there. Also here's another idea stop doing whatever it is you do that has wave after wave of armed thugs coming to kill you like in the ending of the movie Scarface.

Answer 5

Get you A S S out of there ASAP!!!  

Answer 6

...............not completely kill somebody?? they ALL HAVE WEAPONS, they wanna kill YOU, the least you'll be able to do is dislocate or break limbs. That's the sweet part of self defense. Your attackers will stop when something that is dear to them (like an arm) breaks. My bet is KaJuKenBo, a really hybrid martial art. But go to a serious one though, their are lotz of martial arts schools that are sooo fake and you dont get anything out of them

Answer 7

Get on the radio and call in air support.

You're watching way too much Avatar or something.

Answer 8

honestly you are going to have a problem here.

running is your best bet, next to that the only chance you really would have against several armed attackers would be to be armed yourself and try to take the biggest most dominant one quickest- thats your best bet beyond running but not something I would rely upon.

situations like these where multiple attackers are in your face with weapons is a situation where using a firearm would probably not only be your safest bet- but entirely justified under the laws of whatever state you are in, as if you are unable to run, and faced with multiple people with deadly weapons, i can't see any more threatening situation to your life than that.

in all honesty in such a situation (nless those weapons are whiffle bats) odds are likely you would have to kill or severely injure as many of them as you can quickly to get out of that situation with any hope of survival.

Answer 9

Defending yourself against multiple armed opponents may take years of training for starters.  

Secondly, if you are cornered and forced to fight for your life by multiple armed attackers deadly force my be your only means of survival.  In which case you will need to prepare yourself mentally for the possibility that you may take another humans life.

I would recommend looking up any krav maga, jeet kune do, kajukenbo, and or any Filipino arts in your area.  You may get smacked around a little bit, but you will learn quick.  This stuff is strictly for self defense.  Don't be an idiot and go show boating against the school bully.  

Thirdly, learn to run your *** off.  Compete in track and field.

Answer 10

the answer is run very2 fast...run before they surround you...if totally surrounded by the attacker,try very hard to push your way thru them and run......so from now on train hard on running full speed...the martial art is called the art of running....hahhahaha..does the martial art teaches defence against multiple attacker with weapon really works???oh my god..stop that stupid idea like in the movies..no way...they will come at you with bottles,knifes,iron rod...hitting you either at your face,knee,shin,body etc...you really can defend yuor self with those martial art????if you wanna kill your yourself,go ahead....maybe group of 10 yrs old boys jumping at you then you definitely can defend yuorself without learning MA...just common sense...

Answer 11

I would suggest Bo-jutsu or Staff fighting. It can be lethal, but that is not its intent.

A staff can be improvised from various things and due to the long reach can often subjegate the users of shorter weapons. I hope we're not talking guns here, because to be honest you are better not fighting someone with a gun.

Failing that there is also a philipino martial art that uses 2 sticks, eskrima I think.

But the best way to avoid getting beaten by a group of people with weapons is to not confont them at all. If you absolutely must become violent in defense fo yourself or others I would recommend these martial arts, although ANY form of training would be an advantage.
