In a previous blog I mentioned that the ability to turn the emotional intensity up or down is sometimes called "killer instinct".  I offered some thoughts on why that skill is important.  I also mentioned a simple way to train to "turn it down".

Today I will offer a way to train to turn it up.  You can do it with no equipment at all.

Part 1 was about basic strategy when facing more than one attacker. 

Now we cover your escape.

Know your exit and work towards it.  If the attack is drawn out more than a few seconds, you are going to get really tired.  There is no good way for it to end once they swarm on you.  You must escape.  Use every weapon and trick at your disposal.

Being threatened with violence is bad.  Being threatened by two or more people at the same time is exponentially worse. 

It's not an impossible scenario, you just have to keep the right goal in mind.  In a multiple attacker situation, forget about movie heroes beating down 6 guys and walking calmly away.  You probably don't have a script and a stunt double like they do.
