Defending yourself against multiple opponents requires you
to have a greater focus than when you are facing a single opponent. Importantly
you cannot allow yourself to be distracted from the goal of your progression to
safety.
You cannot indulge in actions that slow you down such that
they split your intentions or split your energy. Most of these actions come
from our desire to control what is going on around us. It is a hangover from
our usual day to day interactions where we interact with other individuals as
we try to get what we want.
If you focus on one opponent then you will lose sight of
the rest of the attacking group and your survival response to get to safety
becomes lost. Your intention has been split between the exit and the opponent
you got stuck on.
As the attacking group becomes more dangerous, your
physical actions have to be such that they don't impede your accelerated
progression to an exit. A conscious defensive manoeuvre using an arm or
leg action can slow you down just enough so that another attacker can get to
you, and you can then find yourself fighting two or more opponents at the same
time.
