Real life isn't like the movies, for you to be able to take on multiple opponents will take years and years of training (we're talking 20 - 30 years) and even then you'll probably get your ass kicked if they all jump you at the same time.I've seriously thought about boxing. It seems very practical and some have said that after a few lessons, you at least have some of the basics down. This is what I really want. I'm just concerned about big fights where its me against like 3 people. I don't think it'll happen, but most likely, I will start boxing lessons in the summer. Thanks for all your help.
(Plus by the time you actually have the skill to take on multiple opponents, you're probably old enough that you won't get into the situation)
