The cowards. If it is a group, then they will overcome the cowardice because they outnumber him and that will provide some sense of courage.
"An army of lions led by a sheep or a lion leading an army of sheep" Made me think of that.
In real life though the cowards would just bring guns.

I think Alexander the great hits this one on the head
"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion."
Although these aren't armies. I'd have to go with the strong brave man, assuming he is actually a skilled fighter

If the cowards were acting cohesively as a unit, then the cowards would win easily, especially if they chose their melee weapons for maximum effectiveness. If the cowards were not an organised group, then the brave guy has a chance albeit a slim one.lucky_sharm said:
I heard of a guy in my town many years ago who had seven people invade his house with melee weapons, some organised crime thing. He put them all in the hospital with his bare hands. It's not impossible to survive against multiple attackers with weapons - you just have to be really good, and they have to be really shit.
I think some of you have seen waaay too many movies.
Even the mighty Chuck Norris once said in an interview a long time ago that if he were surrounded by 5 guys he'd more than likely get his ass kicked. Despite the fact that I have lost all faith in the man after certain comments about evolution, he's right.
The scenario presented here is unrealistic at best, complete fantasy at worst.
I've trained in the combat arts for most of my adult life including kali & escrima, and if I were surrounded by 10 guys with weapons, I would do the same thing that any instructor worthy of his/her title would tell you: RUN.
If running were impossible, I would either talk my way out of it, or fight until there was an opening, THEN run. But if it had already come to blows I doubt I would get the chance, because despite what movies like The Transporter [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eblvAOFaQtU] might imply, the bad guys don't wait to attack you one at a time.
The "master," no matter how well trained, would be swarmed, overwhelmed and finished off.
In my opinion, anyone who tells you different is either a liar or trying to sell you something. Unarmed or not, master or not, cowards or not, 1 vs 10 is unwinnable.
Don't be fooled by Hollywood bullshit, guys. I'd like to think you're all way smarter than that.

The cowards, most likely. They have weapons and numbers. After a point, you can't beat numbers no matter how good you are.
Generally the cowards would win, There is still ten of them, they have deadly weapons, they are not weak and bravery would not really affect the out come very much. Still the lone man could win but 9 times out of 10 he would just end up being a disturbingly lumpy red paste.
I also heard of a guy who once a year flies all around the world in a magic sleigh giving presents to good little boys and girls.lucky_sharm said:
Come on man, you really believe that? What proof is there? Did you see it first hand, or was this just another story passed down from buddy to buddy, where the details get sketchier and sketchier and the body count goes up at each retelling?
I've heard similar stories about ME from when I was a bouncer, none of which are true. For instance one night I escorted a very large, very pissed off bodybuilder type out the door in what's called a 'gooseneck comealong' and a week later the story had evolved into me pretty much taking on a whole biker gang.
My point is, people exaggerate.
And how many times have you been surrounded by attackers with weapons? Where are you getting this information from if not movies and TV? Even if the bad guys are shit it doesn't make any difference, if they're prepared, you're fucked. If more than one attacks you at once, you're fucked. If one of them happens to get in a lucky shot, you're fucked.
Stop living in fantasyland you guys! I'm not trying to troll or be a dick, I'm just telling you the truth, and if anyone doubts me or wants to prove I'm wrong, go to any martial arts studio and tell the instructor the same scenario and see what happens.
Just like I said in my last post, he/she is either going to lie to you for their own ego and to get you to sign up for lessons, or they're going to tell you the same thing I just did, THE TRUTH.
I'm OUTTA HERE.
Unfortunitally the 10 cowards. That's the world we live in. The one may take a few down, but cowards by nature group and feed on lack of numbers. It's sad, it really is.
This just seems like a scenario from the streets of New York. Personally speaking, it happens alot. I've lived in NY mywhole life.
