When you get inexplicably surrounded by people when travelling, you know you've arrived in the wrong area.
I had a guy grab me around the arms from behind once when I travelling and a bit wet behind the ears. Luckily my high school forced kids who were useless at sport to do judo, with the attack from behind being standard move number 1, the others being attacked by a knife and forward rolls. Thankfully, they put us through so much repetition of these three basic moves, I automatically flipped him onto the back of his neck before I even consciously realised I was doing. Three other hoods who had been walking towards me changed direction and walked past without eye contact. Also all those forward rolls have been handy a few times when crashing the push bike and preventing broken collar bones. touch wood. But that guy was totally outnumbered, so martial arts wouldn't be an option to anyone less than Bruce Lee.
I won't travel with a zoom (as said above by elliot), except an 18-55, just because the bigger the size of lens (like that guy in the video had) alerts thugs that you've (probably) got more money than sense.
