How to train for multiple opponents
I am just starting out training in MA, but I already have some admittedly hide-bound opinions. One of these is that combative training needs to be done with partners who are resisting - sparring. I think that sparring is one of the essential training tools for one-on-one combat.
Where this seems to fall down, however, is the multiple attacker scenario. Sparring with 2 or more opponents I think would be pretty dangerous, on both sides, just because things get much more unpredictable in that situation. In 1 on 1 sparring, injuries are generally avoided because certain techniques are restricted (eg elbows) and control is better. Sparring 2 or more I think it would be much harder to stay in control and not hurt someone or be hurt. But if 2 on 1 sparring is dangerous, how to train this?
And no I have not done any 2 on 1 sparring.
Interested to hear other opinions on this.

training for multiple attackers
learn to sprint on the track,,time yourself and push your self so that you have good running abilities. and most of all,,,go to a shooting range and practice shooting with a hand gun. hey i might be a martial artist and will spar and get hit and all,,but when it comes to my life,,,i dont play around. you wanna come at me? be prepared to do some matrix dodging cause the bullets are going to fly your way. lets see a bjj kung fu or angry skater punk try and deal with that. :p
