Nope. Ok, a "protagonist might connect one hit, knocking out one attacker. Then, half a second later, six bodies (including the kbocked down person, pile up on the protagonist. Yes, they don't use any special moves, they just get on top. That's it.

If you're talking about grappling then yes. But most fights in movies don't go there because it looks boring. If you're grappling and everyone grabs a limb and dog piles that is pretty hard to beat.

Yes, i meant real world, and the real world IS boring. You wanted to kick around, but instead you're just held, and then they can do anything to you, in a really "unbalanced" manner

That's how most actual fights I've seen play out; just a bunch of people rolling around on the floor in an uncoordinated mess, except for the one guy that got sucker punched at got knocked out.
