I caught up with some old friends from my hometown and went out clubbing and actually had a really great night up until we were about to get into a taxi
We were followed by a group of pretty dodgy looking guys who we found out later were prospecting for a motorbike gang, they kept trying to harass and scare the girls in our group and we told them that we didn't want trouble and that we were heading home
After telling them to back off, in about under 5 seconds one of the guys sucker punches my friend in the head and he knocked out 3 of them
There was a pause for a few seconds and they seemed to back off a bit, We were yelling at them yelling to them to fuck off and that they were being fucking stupid fighting over nothing. I thought that hopefully it was over at that point
One of the guys who got knocked over gained his senses back and panicked and starting yelling for the rest of his mates to fuck us up, a bunch of their friend came running in and swarmed us and it happened so quickly, my mate who intially knocked out 3 of them was then targeted and getting punched in the head by 4 guys
I ran in to help him out and almost got kinghit running in but my other friend punched him over before his punch connected (saw him about to punch me out of the corner of my eye), managed to step over the other guys knocked out on the ground but by the time I got to my mate he has been taken to the ground and I stood over him with my back facing our attackers getting hit, I managed to hold off a few of them but two other guys ran around me to kick my mate in the head, managed to somewhat block it with my arm, I managed to get him up and the 3 of us managed to regroup and break through the circle of guys around us, got the girls we were with and tried to get into a taxi to get out as quickly as possible. We managed to pull out other mate out who got seperated from us and was having to fight a bunch of them on his own.
They were trying to attack us as we left but then the police came, most of them ran but a few of them tried coming after us so I just stood my ground and yelled at them that the fight was over, he keep walking over so I went after him and he ran off.
The police tried arrested us since we had done quite a bit of the damage and were probably the loudest and had bystanders pointing at us but fortunately we had others who told the police we were assaulted and they let us go.
We finally got into a taxi and made it home but at the cost of my friend getting a broken jaw and cracked rib, my other friend got a busted jaw too, other friend has has bruises on his face and my back is sore as fuck. My friend has since been treated in hospital.
Did I do the right thing in trying to avoid violence and defuse it or should have I started using a lot more force a lot sooner.
I have a black belt in Shaolin Kungfu have done boxing and jujitsu and not a stranger to street violence, been in multiple life threatening situations before and seen it go really bad very quickly so I wanted to stop it, for example I managed to stop two guys from stealing my friend truck but we got shot at in return, didn't realise they were armed and it's a blessing no one was shot, broke a guys ribs after almost getting stabbed (violent robbery happened right in front of me) and many more incidents. If you're wondering I lived in a really dodgy city and was one of the reasons I moved.
I realise that even with all my training, real fights are so different and more brutal so although I was wanting to do more I know that escalating it could have lead to much worse circumstances. Turned out it was good I didn't as someone got stabbed close by a week later by the same group of people.
Did I do the right thing, I realise my ego is bruised but at least we're safe and alive.
