How would Muay Thai training realistically help you in this 3v1 restaurant assault scenario? (Trigger warning)
Idk if this is an acceptable post for this sub but i figured it counts as a Muay Thai question. Me and my friend both practice Muay Thai and we were discussing about what we would’ve done if we were in the victim’s shoes.
I said that no amount of training guarantees “winning” here and the best case scenario would be me giving a pre-emptive strike to the guy in the middle then running for it. He says that most skilled fighters would be able to stand their ground here and fight and that it doesn’t look to be a difficult one in fact.
So guys, what would you have done? (Aside from the obvious running to safety)
Some details:
Confined restaurant space with obstacles around that might restrict movement
3 attackers. They also used the surrounding objects like the chairs and kettle for the assault later in the video.
Initial instigator had his hands down and chin wide open.
I also only showed the first half as the latter half, when the victim’s on the ground, gets pretty graphic.
