Honestly I don't know how many posts I have seen about BJJ being useless against multiple attackers with knifes and broken glass on the street.. Why do people always use BJJ as the MA for these scenarios ? NO MA address this as stated before. Its just common sense to know when your beat. I dont care what MA you train in you are most likely going to lose the fight under those situations. Also, I don't about where you guys live but where I'm from its not like everyone carrys a blade and has a group of friends with them..
Also I tend to be social person who has friends of my own as well. Anyways.. I think a BJJ practioner has more of a chance in a fight as opposite to Joe Schmo with no MA experience. I agree with pstevens on use what you know whether it be BJJ, MT, or kung-fu.. The thing I do like about BJJ though is that it does use unscripted resistance that can get you used to a real life situation. I took karate when I was younger, not for long but I had gotten in a fight with it and everything I knew went out the window.
Now with BJJ, I haven't been in a fight but I mess around with my friends sometimes.. Using the randori (live sparring) condition I find to use BJJ more instinctively now as with karate you have to think about it more.. Now its more of just what comes naturally.. I think the BEST thing for self defense or whatever about BJJ is the fact that it does involve 100% resistance which is more realistic.. (okay i know kano introduced this so I'm not trying to say BJJ invented this idea for any of you ma historians) haha.
