All things being equal, I'd take a BJJ'er over a Krav Maga stylist 9 times outta 10 in the street, in the ring, or in the octagaon.

BJJ is huge for all the right reasons - it actually works against resisting opponents and it blends well with other striking and grappling arts.

Krav Maga got popular because J-Lo and other Hollywood-types took it up. I'm not saying it's useless, just that the instruction is not consistent.

"Dirty" techs. or vital point attacks work provided that they're applied from a strong position. Try doing that on a someone who has the mount or knee-on-belly on you and you'll find that the beating you recieve will have just increased two-fold - instead of a polite blood-choke, you'll wake up with two broken arms and eating through a straw.
