normally, due to my size, i might have a size and weight advantage over whoever is trying to attack me. i'd still call for help, but if help didn't come i'd just try and kick and punch as hard as i can, and maybe use stuff in my pockets as weapons. Then i will unleash Ban Kai...
Unleash Ban Ki? How did you get hold of the UN Secretary-General in the first place?

If you are going to fight a group of people, fight from a confined space like a doorway or a narrow alley where you won't have to face more than 3 of them simultaneously. Rubbish bins have a number of uses and metal bin lids make good shields and you can hit with them too, but they can hardly be classed as weapons if the matter goes to court. Go on the offensive as much as possible and attack their leader. Break the leader and the rest will probably give up in disgust. Don't be too proud to hit fire-alarms and use fire extinguishers, people are more likely to respond to a fire alarm than a fight.
Finally, don't get bitten, the human mouth is a disgusting disease ridden place and they might be a Z.
Apart from the Zombie thing this is all solid advice. I'd personally be more worried about hepatitis and other charming blood diseases, plus the bacteria in the human mouth.
The "Conga Line of Death" (funnelling your attackers through a tight gap) pretty much forces assailants to fight you 1-on-1 (y'know, just like in a movie) and if you can just get one of them as a human shield it makes your job a lot easier (RNC or Kimura are both good for this)
Bin lids (and any other blunt weapons you can improvise) are good, although I don't know if anyone here is a riot cop or someone else who knows the right technique for shield-bashing someone. I say blunt weapons because any weapon you use might be turned back on you, so bin lids are particularly good for this. Also, it's easier to hit someone with a blunt weapon without risk of fatal injury than with a point or blade and you're less likely to bungle and cut yourself (adrenal dump fucks up your fine motor skills, remember?) Add to that the reach advantage (most improvised sharp weapons, such as broken bottles, are pretty short) of blunt weapons and it becomes a no-brainer.
I especially like the fire extinguisher bit. Those things weigh quite a lot, so the bludgeoning potential is good, and a spray to the face beforehand will probably make people distracted and easier to hit. Remember, there is no percentage in fighting fair when your life is on the line. I'd rather have to explain my actions in court than end up in a morgue or intensive care ward comatose and catheterised because I tried to fight Queensbury rules against a bunch of street thugs. Fighting honourably may sound glamourous but pissing into a bag through a tube definitely isn't.
