How to Fight Henchmen

When you've got henchmen breathing down your neck, calling the law to help you just isn't an option. If your son has been kidnapped or your father's Mafia friends come calling to collect, you'd better know how to fight to protect yourself. Fighting henchmen requires a lot of advance preparation and some pretty large cojones.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Watch every movie you can find that has radical fighting in it. Jackie Chan movies and the "Matrix" trilogy are a good start. Check out action flicks like the "Die Hard" series and the "Terminator" series as well.
2. Study at least one type of martial art, if not two or three. Really learn the moves as if your life depends on it, because it does.
3. Select your weaponry with care and consideration. Henchmen aren't your normal perps. They might recover even if you push them off a tall building. Your weapons should also be good potential trademarks, without being predictable.
4. Think creatively about how you can make the deaths of each of your attackers original and memorable. The ones that get away will tell of your skill, causing all other henchmen to not want to mess with you.
5. Stay in control of your surroundings by maintaining your position and letting each henchman come to you. Only rarely will two attack you at once. Pick them off one by one. Patience is the key. You might be tempted to get the show over with, but don't give in.
6. Make sure the boss goes down with the biggest, most awe-inspiring trick you've got. The boss usually attacks after all the henchmen are dead or have run away. He's likely someone who can't even do a side kick. Still, use your best moves to settle the score once and for all.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear either all black, camouflage or jeans and a white t-shirt. Make sure your clothes allow free movement.
• Fighting henchmen does involve the risk of death. Fight at your own risk.
