I see your point, but I'm going to respectfully disagree despite your apparent combat prowess. Fighting is primarily physical, as you rightly claim. Perhaps I didn't explain myself well regarding the comments about psychology. Overwhelming force will almost always win. A big, strong guy will almost always win against someone who is not a peer.
But in this situation, you are not the overwhelming force. You may or may not be the big, strong guy, but regardless of your combat skills, you're against overwhelming force. You break one guy's arm. Maybe choke out another. There's still two more guys. Presumably not just standing around watching, like Zoo's Walker Texas Ranger comment.
At this point, combat becomes psychological. Not that I would likely have the cognizance to do it, but you jump on one of them like a baboon and bite whatever off (granted, would take a little time since we don't have those massive incisors), you stand to win the psychological battler in a physical battle you would likely not win.
Never seen it, obviously, but I suspect men meaning true harm less likely to respond to a man possessed, ripping flesh, than they are a guy just stand-up fighting or grappling.
I'm kind of ranting now. Hard to get all my thoughts in one post without going essay length, but hopefully you get it.
And, yes, of course we would all have a large knife. Hell, why stop there! I'd have an AR. But that's not my scenario. Think of it like you're put into an empty room with a door. But there's four unarmed guys who have cornered you, meaning to kill you (also unarmed).
I will say, however, I have enjoyed how this improbable situation has resulted in conversation. Including weapons too, even if not an option in my scenario.
