Street attack by 2 people: what to do?

Facing 2 attackers, NEVER stay between them. Pivot immediately to align them (one behind the other), neutralize the closest with a short strike, then flee. Angular distance is your main weapon.

Tactiek stap voor stap

1Pivot 45° to align both attackers on a single line.
2Strike the closest (eyes, throat, groin) — short hit.
3Use that body as human shield against the second.
4Flee perpendicular to the formed line.
5Yell to alert — diaphragmatic grunt.

Methode Eli & Yehouda Avikzar — Tegen meerderen: nooit frontaal de confrontatie aangaan. De zwakste schakel identificeren, een bres slaan, vluchten. Overleven is geen overwinning — het is de uitweg.

Juridisch kader

In France, article 122-5 of the Criminal Code validates self-defense if necessary, proportionate and simultaneous. Facing 2 attackers, disproportion is legally presumed — you're entitled to enhanced means.
