Kids these days think they're so cool ganging up on a kid...

I've been in a 7-1 situation. I got out of it by giving one a solid whack to the solar plexus so he doubled over, making 2 trip over each other and gtfo through the opening that left me. Being able to get lost in the crowd was a luxury that I had and this kid doesn't.. For the inquring minds, this was nothing personal, just a fanny-smacking incident in a foreign country.

I dunno if fighting back in the situation is going to do any good, and could make things worse. Bottom line is that you're getting your *** beat to a pulp regardless with a 7 on 1. They're going to pound you till they get bored or think they did enough damage. If you're throwing a few stray punches you might **** one or two of them up but that will probably just piss them off more, signal them that maybe you did not "have enough" yet, and increase the severity of the beating you're getting.

If you look closely at the headshots and the way they were throwing punches, I think they meant business. It was as close to murder as you can get.

I see all the parents here talking up their kids that are in martial arts. I think they are a great past time for the kids, teaches discipline, keeps them active and something outside of school to look for, and yes, helps with self esteem and maybe a bit of self defense.
But, your kids should not rely on that to be safe, it could seriously backfire if they think they can take someone because they have "training". I've seen it a bunch of times when we have a bit of a fun scrap at work. (We get to do some self defense stuff from time to time.) Mr. "Black Belt" gets surprised when the farm kid doesn't play crouching tiger and gets walked on just with straight force.
However, there is some real fighting training that mean business. The choreographed "karate" stuff I learned as a kid really isn't something I would rely on.

Now for the video, I can see why they ganged up, not one of them could throw a real punch, and I saw only one actually decent kick. Guaranteed that kid could have taken any of them on 1-1. He did the best he could, got up, found an opening and got out. The only other thing he could have done is not got himself in that situation in the first place.
 
Half way thru high school, I moved from the city to a small town... I was picked on a lot... at first.
My favorite bully used to try and kick me... in the helmet while I was riding my DT200... when I tried to ride past him.. in/out of school parking lot... at the local hangout... etc....
I was knocked right off the bike more than once... the first time I was knocked off, I had my GF on and we both hit the ground.

I have studied a ton self defense and the best thing you can do in this position is to find ab escape route asap

The first second they approach you analayze and decide you are screwed real quick and dont let them surround you and look for the escape route as soon as you find the escape route opening....strike the closest guy in the throat but if u dont have a clear shot then do and open palm strike right to the nose and run. This is harder said then done but you have to do all this before they get confident and comfy. You have to access analyze and do the first strike as quick as you can.

The key is you really have to learn how to strike. If you know that you can really do damage with a single strike and buy yourslef a few seconds to run and scream and cry for help. Its sounds girly but you cant mess around with 7-1

If anyone wants to learn and practice proper striking let me know. I used to teach people for free on kijiji. I am happy to practice with anyone. Everyone should know how to defend themselves and striking is like anything else the more you do it the better you are.

Well unfortunately far too many parents no longer seem interested in "correcting" the behaviour of their children. Maybe the Young Offenders Act should have concentrated more on correcting PARENTS.

Why blame the parents? So many laws have been put in place that "protect" the kids, that parents can't do any corrective actions with their kids without being charged. Whats wrong with being responsible for your own actions rather than finding someone else to blame?

one. they are young offenders. There is a reason they are minors and can't vote and can't join the military and can't drink etc etc.
2ndly. what laws to protect the kids? could you name one instance of a parent being actually charged with corrective actions without using google?

Because most young people have no concept of the long view, and parents are responsible for teaching them right from wrong.

I had a small group that picked on me in Jr. High. They must have just been testing me to see if I was "cool" enough to join them. After one of them somehow got their nose busted during a lunch hour, they became my friends just a couple years later in high school.
Principal called in my step dad that day, thinking there was going to be a little meeting about the reprocussions of my actions, but all I got was a pat on my back. Rule in the house was "if you're gonna fight, you better win".

Haven't had a single person push me around after I learned how good it felt to stand up for myself... Or how good it felt to land a good one right in the middle of some d-bags face.
