Just learned that BJJ is not very effective is many street situations

[NorthernBBer]

Last night a fight broke out at a party i was at. I notice my freind who wasnt even involved in the original fight getting stomped by about 6 guys. I run over and start shoving and throwing people to get my freind out of there. I get grabbed from behind, i turn my head to the left and all i see is a glass bottle being swung at my face. Shatters over my head and i spend the night getting stitches in the hospital. There was no way i could utilize my bjj in that "fight" and the reality is the majority of fights arent 1 on 1 fair fights. Bottles, weapons, sucker punches, and freinds are usually involved.

Yes thats true.
Street fights are usually about who's got more people on their side...
And if it is 1v1s you need something like thai boxing, submission wont be much good cos they wont tap, unless you can get a good guillotine or something and they pass out

[LatsMakeTheMan]

Well in a situation like that, I don't see how any MA would have helped.

I bet you after your shoulder dislocates, you won't want to keep fighting.

But, OP is restating the obvious. And yet? No one cares.

It's almost as though this has been discussed before...

BJJ is good for SELF DEFENSE, not for blindly diving into a crowd of six people with weapons and trying to get something done. I don't think Muay Thai would have done any better for you; this is the real world, not Ong Bak.

yeah i wasnt trying to single out bjj, i just used it as an example because i train bjj.

yes because some people will continue to fight after having there bones broken.

This argument has been done to death.

Here's a music video of girls making out. Takes awhile for the action to start kicking in so be patient:

im not trying to make an argument, i was simply sharing how my exprience last night reinforced the argument that has already been made

BJJ is not good for self defense at all, sorry bro theres no rules in a street fight so if you arm bar'd someone you would get your balls ripped off....

Funny you should say that because last night a fight broke out at a party i was at. I notice my freind who wasnt even involved in the original fight getting stomped by about 6 guys.

Yeah it's totally stupid, imagine watching someone use an armbar in a real fight, there's no way the guy would ever tap out on hte streets, it's just a totally useless position to be in, I mean you'd get your balls ripped off....

Ok, "bro" I've realized that lately you've been trying to make little comments in your posts as though you're training in MMA. If you had trained a F*CKING DAY OF BJJ EVER you'd know that in an armbar the guy's hand is nowhere near your balls.

To say nothing of the fact that you seem to think it's easy to rip off the balls of someone who is wearing pants.

BJJ was made for and proved in street fights a long time ago in Brazil. So take your bull**** elsewhere, no one believes that you're training.

Punching in the balls would release the hold im quite sure lol, if you don't start out in the armbar its pretty easy to touch whatever part of the guy your fighting.

Yeah because if they don't tap, the sub is useless right? You know why people tap? Because you're putting them in serious danger and most people don't want to have arms, knees, ankles, shoulders etc. broken.

Yeah, the ripping of the balls sure looks painful! Oh wait.. gtfo fatty.

If I had an armbar on somebody, and somehow they managed to punch me in the balls, surely that'd just make me even more pissed off and want to snap his arm in 2?

Oh wait.... thats a cage.... Oh wait.... Theres rules against that right? Moron...

Surely you have no balls

Edit: Oh wait are you one of those guys who thinks they could keep going after they get hit in the balls?

[juniorftw]

That was UFC 2, groin strikes were perfectly within the rules, I take it you missed Keith Hackney vs Jo Son?

Surely you have no balls

Adrenaline is an awesome thing. Clearly you've never had a fight in your life.

Moron.

No offense dude, but you're wrong. It's clear that you've never been in this position, and you're armchair warrior'ing about what you would do in a situation you've had no experience in.

Pretty funny you say that I hear that **** from every guy who has never been punched in the balls with a clear shot or without gloves on.

No one has ever armbar'd me in a street fight lol that would be funny as ****

[JCham]

I'd rather know BJJ than boxing in a 1 on 1 street fight. But thats me.

I don't think there is really any Martial art designed for multiple attackers (Krava Maga? Maybe?).
