do mma (mixed martial arts) because then you don’t have to choose because you have them all in one.

Honestly if that is your worry a striking style is preferable, however none will be better then the other if the school you train at doesn’t train for it. That pretty much lets most MMA schools out, because the majority of them focus one on one.
It’s not the style it’s the training.

muay thai, if you dont want floor work. find a club that teaches muay boran or muay chaiya. they are the battlefield techniques of muay thai designed for multiple opponents, they also have a bit of ground work. failing this find an mma club

Honestly most martial arts deal with one on one attacks. Even if you find a school that says the teach you how to defend against multiple attackers, it most likely will be much later in the training.
Krav Maga is a martial art that often does striking and dealing with multiple attackers, but it depends on the schools instructor as to when they put it into their classes. Aikido also deals with multiple attackers, but lacks the striking aspect you are looking for as it is a defensive style.
For some sample videos to maybe help I have quite a few posted on my website, or there is you-tube of course.
The tv series The Human Weapon, and Fight Quest have both showcased these style and might be a good source of information for you.
I would find a school you like and focus on getting the techniques down and not concern yourself with the multiple attacker thing right away.
I hope this helps,

Are you making a movie? Because that’s the only place you can take on multiple attackers and take them out.
Seriously, if you are confronted by multiple opponents then your first move is to get out of Dodge ASAP!
If you have no escape route, then pick the smallest guy and do what you need to do to get past him and then get out of Dodge ASAP!
So I would say the best way to train for that situation is to take up track.
Save the taking out of multiple opponents for Jason Bourne.

check out hung gar kung fu, fighting multiple people, fighting in crowded places, are built into the system and is introduced at a beginner level. on a regular basis we did 1v1 sparring, 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, etc.
hung gar has hundreds of techniques that are practical.
its system of techniques are based on animals styles and stress low agile stances, iron hard blocks, blocking and striking simultaneously, ambidexterity, deceptive hand techniques and power, low snapping kicks, and combines a balance of hard pounding techniques mixed with soft elusive movements.
it also incorporates traditional ground fighting. tiger style ground fighting can be very effective
the trick is finding a teacher that can actually give you this info, not some watered down kempo instructor claiming he knows kung fu. many people claim they teach the real thing when they actually teach a dance.

In truth, no one martial art is better than the other. However, ninjutsu is actually one of the few martial arts designed to take on more than one opponent as opposed to Bushido. However, finding people who teach this is difficult, and I believe there is only one school in the United States whom is certified to teach this by Japan.
So this leaves us with Aikido. It teaches a person to flow with a situation instead of attacking. You said you wanted to do strikes and bodily moves, so Aikido might not be for you since it requires more of a movement of the body and throwing your opponent, rather than kicks and strikes. However, there are many different types of Aikido that do teach offensive moves, for example the sporting aikido has a hint of Judo in it and is called Tomiki-Ryu.
But like I said, most martial arts are not better than the other in these, but these two form are, in a sense, designed around the concept of more than one opponent. I encourage you to do some more research so you can understand what is best for you, since no one can fully direct you.

If you want a good martial arts style that teaches strikes, kicks, and punches then go with either kickboxing, karate, or Tae Kwon Do. Each three of those styles (there are several more that I didn’t mention for times sake) those three styles teach hard strikes to the body. Grappling, well, truth be told it wouldn’t hurt to learn, so I’d recommend Aikido, or perhaps jujijtsu. I’ve heard that most fights end up on the ground and so it wouldn’t hurt to learn how to fight either on top of the opponent or if he’s on you.
But remember, it takes months perhaps even years to properly learn the techniques being taught. So, forgive me if I sound rude, but don’t believe your Bruce Lee once you start in the martial arts…it’ll probably get you hurt in the end…

Krav Maga … no doubt it focuses on taking all of them out

find a good JKD concepts instructor. Not one that is a Bruce Lee nut hugger though. Make sure they have a lineage to Dan Inosanto

Good question dude.
When you say multiple opponents does this mean you come up against 5-6 guys on a regular basis?
What you have to remember is that for 5-6 guys to get a solid hit on you is that they will all be striking at once in unison, this means that their attack will be well coordinated, planned and the bad guys are diciplined enough to work as a team. How many people let alone an untrained group could do this? In any case you got no chance of beating multiple attackers, you may get 1-2 of the baddies and thats it before you get swarmed, Its physicaly imposible man to effectively beat that many oponents and not get injured, I dont care who you are and what you know. This is fact and science.
In terms of choosing the right martial art is entirely your choice, as you know there are plenty of styles.
I currently practice Balintawak Arnis or Eskrima, its a Philipino Martial Art system, being Philipino myself i thought why not. This System is one of those martial arts that are not really heard of or advertised openly simply beacuse there is no need to prove anything to anyone.
The priciple of the system is Aggression, Speed, Co-ordination, Accuracy and Adaptation. It will teach you to fight in the space of toilet cubicle, all close range strikes, low kicks, unarmed and armed fighting, they will teach you how to disarm an attacker weilding a knife, gun or machete just using a pencil for example, you will learn how to fight using a butter knife and so on, a good thing with is that it teaches you how to use your soroundings to your advantage and makes you think on your feet. Your training will be informal, ie no uniforms or gradings your instrctor will just keep teaching you until you think you have lernt enough, My Grandand, my Dad and uncles have teaching me and my brothers since we were kids so that goes to show you how long the system can go for. Look man I can on for hours about it but to give you an insight into whats its like check out the Matt Damon Movie - Bourne Indentity. The fight scenes in that are Arnis/Eskrima.
