When considering a self defense technique, you should spend your time learning simple moves that are powerful and flexible enough to be applied against several persons quickly.

Simple combat-style moves such as an open palm strike to the chin, applied with explosive quickness a few times, will afford you the time necessary to get away. There is no need for flashy high kicks or fancy footwork.

If you use your knee to a groin, lean your head slightly to the side. This will keep your head clear as your attacker responds by leaning forward.
