How would you guys deal with getting jumped by gangmembers?

I just got jumped and I'm a mix martial artis

Added (1). I need help I feel like crap, I was driving down my street these dudes who been startin stuff with me for weeks now just jumped me they live in my street I think, am in MMA, so I tried fighting back but failed because all 8 of them started kicking me when it was a one on one and I had the guy in a rear naked. How do you ease your mind with out feeling mad, after I got jumped I started crying with anger and wanted to go look for them.

Well MMA is a list of rules which will not work against multiple people as a whole as it could because it's limited in how you can attack your enemies, In order for you to win against 8 Enemies you must be open to attacking in all manner of ways and blocking and dodging all manner of ways as you see them both Approach and attacking you at once, Okay. Don't limit how you can attack an enemy THAT IS MOSTLY EVERY MARTIAL ARTISTS BIG MISTAKE, BE BOTH OPENED AND CLOSED IN TO ATTACKING AND DODGING AND BLOCKING AND PARRYING AND GRABBING AND ETC IN ANY AND All WAYS OKAY HIT THEN WHENEVER NECESSARY TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM HARM ALRIGHT

Awful. Where you getting out of the car when jumped?
Kudos to lilith's answer: trying to avoid in the first place.

One on one, I'd normally just use hand to hand and be fine.

But a gang? If I couldn't parkour the hell out of there I'd resort to my weapons. Not guns, I wouldn't kill anyone obviously, but my butterfly knives might come out, just to show them a couple of tricks and make them aware that I'm not their regular victim, or pinning one of their sleeves to a wall with my tantos fu©ks up their mentality. Then again, they don't do weapons in MMA…
Normally just the knowledge that I carry and can use my weapons is enough to make attackers think I'm not worth the trouble it'll take to mug me, confidence goes a really long way. If you just look at one of them square in the eye and say " you really, really don't want to do that" it's enough to knock their ego, making them hesitate, and giving you a window of opportunity. If you just hurt one guy really bad the others back away. People in gangs are cowards. They attack in gangs because they're too scared to go one on one.

Having said this, the real answer is for you to avoid the situation in the first place by being aware of your surroundings. This will prevent future incidents, don't wear headphones, walk like you know exactly where you are and own the place, don't keep your hood up, stay in public places, check your surroundings, don't have an iPhone sticking out your pocket, just be aware okay.

Don't feel bad. It happens, someday these guys will get what's coming to them. Hope your okay, stay safe.

You couldn't deal with this because you train in a sport an not an martial art. In martial arts you learn how to deal with this,
The first thing you have to do is kill the first, four people attacking you, after all their trying to kill you. If you don't have the guts to kill in this situation you will never win

As long as you didn't take a life you will be fine with no retaliation. Lucky for you none of them had a gun, or maybe they jus ddnt want to use it.

update: avoid further conflict and call the police to report, and deffinately defend and get out of the situation if it happens again.

You're lucky you're not DEAD. You better think twice about being smart or having too much ego and being dead

Very scared
