What martial arts can teach you to take on more than one person at once?

People these days never fight one on one, they are cowards and fight in groups and gangs, sometimes even with weapons. I would like to know if there are any martial arts that can teach you to take on a group of people and to come out the victor.

i just made this post on another multi attacker thread.. maybe it can be of some help:
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.

Well first of all you must understand that statistically whenever you fight more than one person chances are slim that you will win. Really in this case you’re looking more to survive. I have been in multiple attacker situation before and they aren’t fun. Luckily I managed to convince 5 guys I wasn’t worth the effort just by dodging a couple of haymakers then pounding one of them on the jaw and dropping him. Once they realized they’d take a beating in giving me one they backed off. There’s nothing fancy there, but I was happy to walk away completely unhurt. That to me is a victory. As for which style can teach you this… I’d say any and all. As has been said many times before, it’s not the style that matters but the practitioner. That said some styles do lend themselves more to these situations than others. I’ll nominate Aikido as perhaps the best for a multiple attacker situation because it doesn’t force you to commit to an attack or a defense; you simply redirect incoming attacks away from you. You stay safe and your opponents hurt themselves falling down. When fighting more than one person you need to stay fluid and rested and I think the minimal conflict approach Aikido takes works well for that.

if you’re alone against more then 3 and your name isnt jet lee i sugest you run.there is no way you can win against more then 3.For that you have to do years of karaté or jiu jitsu for example.

In truth, in does take years to effectively learn and use martial arts to fight more than one person. Ninjutsu specializes in fighting more than one person, and even the US marines are taught Ninjutsu skills for their training. However, finding people to teach Ninjutsu in the US is difficult since there is only one certified dojo to teach it.
Also, there is Aikido, and while most Aikido styles do not teach kicks and punches, it does teach movements of the body in order to throw your opponent, and its watery style can be used to face multiple opponents.
I suggest looking up more options since no one can tell you what to learn, but rather you need to discover what you are comfortable with, and what you prefer to do.
Hope this helps!
