# Strategies for dealing with multiple opponents in conflict First of all, I must emphasize that avoiding conflict is the best choice, and withdrawing from dangerous situations as much as possible is the primary strategy to protect yourself. If unavoidable, here are some defenses to consider： ## Strategic level -**Environmental utilization**: Find narrow passages to limit the number of opponents approaching at the same time -**Create distraction**: Distract and divert some opponents' attention -**Quickly identify the leader**: Usually subduing the leader may cause others to retreat -**Maintain mobility**: Don't be surrounded, keep moving to avoid being attacked by multiple people at the same time ## Defense skills -**Keep your distance**: Avoid close contact and use obstacles to separate -**Adopt a deterrent posture**: Showing confidence and readiness may cause opponents to reconsider -**Use words to resolve**: Sometimes effective communication can degrade conflicts Remember, these strategies are only applicable to real self-defense situations, should be used within the scope permitted by law, and the principle of protecting yourself with the minimum necessary force.
