what i mean by this thread is if you had to fight someone for whatever reason do you think you could stand a chance of beating them i do kickboxing and judo but i still feel if i was Surrounded by 5 guys i would get my ass handed too me so is there anything you guys do that would give you an advantage in that kind of Situation?
Can you defend yourself?

I am unafraid to kick anyone who so much as makes a threatening look toward me in the balls. I won't apologise, I won't think twice. My foot is colliding with their testicles as fast and hard as it can. Not sure I could get five before they got to me, but I'll happily punch and bite if I have to, also.
I had a couple of years of Karate as a teenager and MCMAP at Boot, but they were quite some time ago.
So, I suppose I could hold my own against your average schlub, but would still prefer to avoid conflict to begin with.
After all, the greatest victory, is the battle not fought.
Captcha: well done. Why, thank you Captcha.

I've also had a few years of karate, so against someone with no experience, I would be fine. Against someone bigger and tougher, I would probably have to use a little tact. Luckily for me, I'm agile, resilient to pain, and know about the body's weak points, so I could possibly take someone out over time.
However, I would always go for the non-violent approach, as I do not condole violence and something could go wrong or someone could go too far.

I'm weak, so I'd probably end up dead, but so much as wanting to hurt me gets me very pissed off, which can make me a bit more of a threat - especially considering I no longer have a pain threshold and will not stop until you're dead, or disabled if there are more people I have to deal with. Would it be enough to win?
I doubt it. When I say I'm weak, I'm seriously weak. I could probably lose in an arm wrestle to someone in year 5. My main strength physically is my ability to quickly recover after exercise, no matter how strenuous. In a fight, that's not too useful.

Well, I'm certainly not afraid to do low blows and weak spots if I think my life is in danger. I mean, it's not a great advantage, but it's something. So if I ever got into a brawl with someone, I'm fairly certain I could incapacitate them long enough to escape. More than one person or someone with a weapon on the other hand, I'd probably be screwed. But then I generally try to avoid putting myself into any sort of situation like that in the first place.
While I'm in decent shape, I've had no formal training of anykind so in a fight how well I'd do is enterly up in the air. A five on one fight though...my first thought would be along the lines of 'they're probably going to kill me'. In that case I'd fight dirty, fist to the balls, thumbs in the eye socket, teeth to cartilage dirty. I still might not win, but I will leave an impression.

Will I fight? Definitely, there's not a chance I'd back down from a fight, I grew up under the extremely flawed philosophy that men have to be brave and strong, and well they never back down from a fight, I'm almost conditioned in a pablovian fashion to not ever run away.
Would I do well? Well considering my track record, most definitely not, I don't think I've ever won a fight, at least not by beating a guy into a pulp, I've been able to scare a few people enough for them to give up, but never really won, besides I'm pretty slim, weak and weigh next to nothing, I also lack any finesse or skill, the only thing I have going for myself is that I don't react to pain at all, I mean I feel it but I don't react to it, the combination of that and my general disregard for my well being can make me kinda scary but not much else, I seem to give people the impression that I'm a psychopath when I fight.
I do however have one thing going for me, if the people that are going to fight me are rather stupid, there is a chance I could intimidate them, I'm very tall and the combination of my scars and my inability to show any emotion, can make it easy for me to make idiots think I'm well pretty badass, I mean I just sound and look like I don't care at all, and well tall guy with scars, yeah some people swallow that fairly easily, also my voice is both monotone and smooth enough to pull the whole I may be Clint Eastwood thing, and though I'm awful at lying the thing is, that I really do feel that I am like that, I really am not, I know this, but I feel like I am, so I don't really think I'm lying when I do this.

Yeah.
Heavily muscled with training in boxing and some Kuk Sool Won, along with being able to use firearms and improvising weapons if need be.

I have Ra's Al Ghul Lawyers and NK Cells who do it for me.
They usually pull out the context mandate and remind my enemies that they have boneitis.

Deception is my name and knives are my game.
Had some training with them and I plan to learn more.
I'm the kind of guy who will take a punch to the gut just so I can cut something important.
Against more than one or two people, I would run and/or hide.

More than 10 years of Karate, 1 year of dedictated self-defense training and still I would do everything to avoid a fight vs 5 guys.
Against 1 or 2 guys I could probably hold my own, but I really do not want to try it against 5 guys.
I am really good at hand-to-hand and when I fight seriously, I generaly do not hold back even an iota, going at the enemy with extreme prejudice, whilst being able to withstand great amounts of pain.
So maybe.

I could fight one guy and probably win.
Two guys would be tough, but depending on their skill level I could probably break one of their arms before the other could knock me out and that tends to make anyone take a step back.
Three people and up, I could probably take out one, but the rest would surely beat me up pretty quickly.
Now depending if I felt my life was in danger, I do always have a small knife on me, that can even out the odds pretty quickly, but again, three or more people I'd be having a hard time to scare them off.

Run. If you are outnumbered, try to run. No matter how trained you are, being outnumbered is essentially a death sentence.
I don't care what techniques you think you know or what stories you've heard - if your attackers are experienced and willing to take your life to get what they want, your odds of walking away from a 2 v 1 are slim and none.
