Attack by 3 people: survival tactic

Facing 3 attackers, the sole goal is flight. Frontal combat is statistically losing. Tactic: identify the weak link (youngest, least athletic, most isolated), charge at him to create a gap, then flee.

Step-by-step tactic

  1. 1Identify the weak link in under 2 seconds (body reading).
  2. 2Charge at him full speed, shoulder forward.
  3. 3Push (don't hit) — create a gap in the formation.
  4. 4Pass through the gap and run 100m without looking back.
  5. 5Yell and bang walls/cars to attract attention.

Eli & Yehouda Avikzar method — Facing many: never head-on. Identify the weak link, create a breach, flee. Survival isn't victory — it's the exit.

Legal framework

Pushing through to flee facing 3 attackers is universally considered self-defense, even if the pushed person is injured falling. Proportionality is judged vs overall threat.
