I didn't say that bjj is the end-all, but real MMA training is invaluable in self defense because it covers all ways of fighting. Not to mention that if you do ever strike someone a lethal blow you will soon find yourself subject to a lawsuit.
I don't walk around in areas that have broken glass and shredded metal and am tired of hearing about it; I don't see it on the street (occasionally a small piece of glass but not like that scene from Die Hard) and the bars I've been to all have clean floors, save some peanut shells sometimes. I've been taken down on the street several times and never been hurt.
I have to also question the qualifications of a bjj artist who would immedietely pull guard on a stiking opponent without attempting to take him down first.
