Fighting with two plus opponents?

Question

I have seen training a fighting style called "cheenadi" which is a local form of martial arts where
I live(Sri Lanka.. a south Asian country) by some of the villege boys and the question is
that when training this style they used to freely fight like in a death match but with
more than two opponents at least. For example if I am going to fight, then I should get
more than or at least two opponents to fight with. As I did a small background reading,
this style is a very ancient style of fighting used by the worriors in their history.
I should say that this is a very bruital form of fighting which does not have any rules for trainign
and with lot of grapling, stricking and ground fighting techniques. I just want to know whether it is more effective to
train like them ?(with more than one opponent like in Boxing or Karate).
The other thing is that these local groups do not teach anyone
who is an outsider to them and I cant get much detail from them.

By the way I am not a martial artist but I do like to learn about the things that looks interesting. I have discussed with masters of other known type of martial arts such as Karate, Kungfu, Wrestling and Judo but they do not have a great deal of knowledge on ancient type of martial arts such as this.

shootersway: yeah you are correct I could find some same type of styles and forms around the area with different names. And also they are taught secretly and never allowed to even watch how they train. If I want to become a student of the teacher then I should spend at least year or more with him by helping their works (most of the time farming). I know it's ridiculous

Lawless: I heard that lot of masters and champions of other type of martial art have been beaten by their guys but of course not fighting for rules and not as a sport. Their rule is to do the maximum damage to the opponents and if possible to kill them. Therefore, lot of masters in the local are afraid to fight with them (and of course they are not a threat to them since they do not come to fight in tournaments)

Answer 1

Sounds a bit like PENTJAK ADE or BUKULAN both of which are practiced through out south ASIA.Different areas would of course have different names due to linguistic expression.PENTJAK (without the ADE)is taught in the western world .

The 1st 2 are very secretive .If you do manage to recieve lessons come back and give us a run down.
good luck

Answer 2

A relay good Martial Arts school can show you how to deal with multiple attackers. Taekwando, Karate, Wing Chun. are all useful tactics. Whatever the art at some level of training usually around the equivalent of black belt you should be learning strategies for dealing with more than one attacker.
A good self defense course should include some of these strategies as well.
An interesting project you are taking on.
Good luck

Answer 3

I am unfamiliar with this art but it sounds interesting.
It would be great if you could find out more about it.

A pointer to the members here on multiple opponents,whenever possible find a wall.In these situations a wall is your friend.
Keeping your back to a wall can make all the difference as opponents are not able to attack from that direction.
A wall turns a 360 deg. fight into a 180 deg.(at best) fight.
This little piece of info may save your life one day.

Answer 4

In my classes I regularly train my students to defend against more than one attacker. In fact I have produced a grading syllabus that focuses on self defense against one or more than one attacker. To gain their belt they must survive for a certain amount of time (increases the more advanced they get) amongst other factors.

Sounds very interesting this ancient art, you would have to dedicate lots of time, which you would have to sacrifice a lot.

Good luck mate!

Answer 5

this could be a enormously respectable try for Canelo. i'm lots greater on Cintron than actual everyone else is in recent times it form of feels, yet I trust Stick and circulate's remark before approximately Cintron showing psychological weak spot in a number of his previous fights. Cintron replace into rarely dazzling in his final combat against Smith on FNF a pair months in the past. He did no longer positioned something on his punches, and allowed himself to be suckered into an interior combat regardless of the undeniable fact that he replace into dominating Smith from the exterior. combine that with the fewer than stellar overall performance against Molina and that i'm able to comprehend why some are thinking what he has left. That pronounced, i like him in this combat. in line with possibility i'm purely no longer waiting to bounce off the Cintron bandwagon, or in line with possibility i'm no longer bought on Alvarez purely yet, yet i like his possibilities in this combat if he can administration the %.. this is shaping as much as be a enormously respectable card. with a bit of luck HBO would not enable Gary Russell to combat yet another bum in an 8 rounder, yet he somewhat sounds like a guy who'll be hoarding belts as quickly as his handlers deem him waiting.

Answer 6

This sounds like bullshido. Bring some of these village boys and we'll put that theory to the test.

Answer 7

Did one of the practitioners of this art himself tell you that they don't teach outsiders?

Maybe you can show them that you are worthy... if this is what you really want!

Be persistent.

Insist that you really want to enhance your life with their cultural art.

Don't give up.

My Muay Thai instructor had myself and another girl in the ring with him at the same time. He kicked both of our butts at the same time. I'm sure it was ammusing to everyone who was watching.
