I agree with Mr Poopy, arm bar from the gaurd can be quite effective. I'm not saying that I would want to go to gaurd to try an armbar but i'm smaller than most people and am pretty good with my hands so big guys usually try to take me down and most times iv'e ended up with them in my gaurd. I've ended a few fights with armbars and they definately could not have continued and if they wanted to it wouldn't have been good for them. Have to admit it was one on one though but my strategy for multiple opponents would probably be to run. All in all I think BJJ can easily be adapted for fighting. The practicioner just needs to have an open enough mind to see what's applyable and what's not and have the presence of mind to work it into their arsenal.
