I can fight a million people at one time with a black belt, you mean how many can I beat haha...
to be honest with a black belt in TKD, unless you really devote a lot of your time into practicing the kicks and everything (which I dont), you'd be lucky if it worked on one. TKD is a point fighting art, not street fighting, so it never teaches you actually combat skills. It does condition your body to fight and teaches you how to maneuver though. If you caught someone with a good round-house or a hook kick you can easily knock them out. It really all depends on the situation.
In my current art however, we actually practice weapon defense, gang fighting, 2-3-4 on one fighting, and go through the science of what you need to do and where you need to be when thrown into a position like that. And when we spar its full contact bare knuckle. So, with the knowledge I've gained from it I can honestly fight about 3 people and hold my own, but its fucking tough.
