How do you stay safe and eventually take control when faced with multiple attackers? Very few martial arts will prepare for such a horrible experience. If you stick to what you know in a normal man to man combat situation, you will quickly be overtaken and may lose your life.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been proven to be an effective self dense system, however many of its detractors bring up the case of multiple attackers.

In reality, there is no perfect martial art against multiple attackers…
Here, Royce Gracie black belt Roy Marsh explains why he despises this fallacy. For him, Jiu-Jitsu is actually the BEST martial art to know if you have to defend yourself against multiple opponents.

Roy has been training since 2000 and was awarded his Black Belt after passing a very difficult test in front of Royce Gracie, Pedro Valente Sr. (one of only 14 Red Belts ever awarded outside the Gracie Family), the Valente Brothers, and a large panel of their Black Belts.
Here he demonstrates how this is actually possible.
