Playing with multiple attackers

I've started to play again.  I'm inspired to train when (at those times I don't want to like this morning) I'm doing things that I really like to do.  Envisioning multiple attackers is something that makes me happy.  I get to play around with alot of techniques that I've learnt over the years.  I get to play with flow and how that flow feels with my body.  Some of the things I've tried don't work not because the techniques aren't sound but my body won't move easily and fluidly with them.  At times flexibility has made me rethink what I've wanted to do.  I'm working on things that work with the current state of my body not the body I had in my twenties lol!.  For the most part the moves are quick, precise and allow me to preserve the maximum amount of energy over the three attackers.  What's the point of trying to pull of some crazy Jackie Chan flying techniques if after the first one or two I'm gassed or I've pulled something which is quite possible in my older age?

I'm also focusing on the flinch.  This is something that's incredibly important and I think most people don't train for.  When we're calm the flinch is easier to handle. It's when the adrenealine has kicked in that the flinch becomes much more pronounced.  I'm playing with adding in a flinch to sort of beat my attackers Vs me reacting to it.  

This morning was alot of fun and here's what I've come up with so far in case your wondering.

Three attackers, one in front of me and one eack to the left and right.  

I'm starting off in a neutral stance with hands up and open.  I'm focused on the front attacker but I'm keeping both left and right attackers in the corne of my eye.  A quick side heel to the right attacker to move him back.  The front attacker comes forward with a hay maker that I duck under while moving slightly to my right while keeping my left hand up over my left ear.  A quick right hand vertical punch into the midsection with an overhead left elbow to the head takes care of this attacker.  

I've aquired the left attacker while looking over my right shoulder and proceed with a spinning back kick to the mid section followed up with a low hooking kick to the head of the slumped over attached, this one's finished.  

Back to the original attacker that has recovered and has a blunt stick like object.  He moves foward with a hay maker swing to my head.  I move forward with a double forearm block followed by a right hand knife hand strike to the neck.  Strip the weapon, move to an arm bar that breaks the elbow and this attacker is finished.  

Let me know what you think.
