You know that actually is a style of fighting to that. If you are outnumbered run. Now you must be faster than the pursuers to work. When you get far enough stop the fastest one will get to you first. He will be the toughest one most likely. Take him out then keep running. Stop again get the next person to go after you take him out. Keep doing this till you win or lose. Entirely depends on you.
I took up kenjutsu for self-confidence.....every time one of my parent laughs at me trying it, I just try harder. If you've actually got anyone trying to hurt you, self-defence is good....but as someone said, you don't learn it to lower your ability to hurt. Even if I claim my kenjutsu to be based on self-confidence, I'm still essentially teaching myself how to kill people.
I do tae kwon do strictly as a self defense but i still know how to kill in many ways. I know ways to cripple, paralyze, stun, dramatically weaken, and kill but i would only use them in diar needs. And if your parents laugh ask if you can practice with them ;)
