I have a buddy that trains me and he used to fight quite a bit when he was younger.
He's armbarred three different individuals in street fights. None of the dudes were able to fight after this happened. Unlike NHB, the guys didn't have the option of tapping and my bud made sure the elbows were dislocated before he let go.
Reactions varied: One guy actually threw up from getting his elbow broken (probably shock) and another cat that tried to steal his dog cried while holding his arm on the ground.
My brother key locked a guy that was beating down a cop. Although my brother's far nicer than my teacher, he ended the the confrontation by simply applying pressure until the guy screamed and stopped moving. After that, the cop hand cuffed the guy with no problem.
Point being, unless your fighting some freak, armbars and other subs definitely work in a fight. It's hard to fight with broken bones!
later.....
