You know martial arts like in the films...?

[Nick]

Like when about 3 or 4 dudes go for 1 dude.

and hes normally a geek but he unleashes the power of kung fu and he kicks all their asses.

could this actually happen in real life?

or just in films?

 

[Its Meeeee]

well you know films are always rehearsed and not all true
but it would depend
but i would doubt it
you could if they were skinny lot

Movies are very often based(loosely) on some real life incident..true they re-hash it to appeal to an audience in mind.
If the 'geek' has spent disciplined years on training his body, as he has invested in his mind-it should be possible.

It is possible and I've done it. I used panantukan, dumog and my smarts - not pretty, but I managed it without them laying a glove on me or having to seriously hurt them. (There were initially around 12 of them, but I only had to deal with 3 before the rest thought better of it.)

However it didn't look anything like the movies. Nor do I look anything like a movie star. Nor am I a geek.

In response to some of the above answers, yes it is possible, but you have to know what to do. It takes more brain than brawn. I'm not saying that I could take on 2 or more trained martial artists though. The guys I took on were just bullies with no training or much intelligence.

hello,

generally, this is strictly an element of cinematic license.

thanks
