I agree that not many standup systems could "stand up" to that scenario as well. If this is real world fighting (the kind all of us truly have in mind when we think of streetfight) then why not train in a knife system as your major art instead of BJJ? Think of this for a moment. Any place that a dangerous streetfight might happen, a club, a mob, a crowded dance floor, a bar, etc. all of these places are detrimental to BJJ.
Plus, even if the fight IS one on one, who here would take their assailant down? If you take even a lone assailant down on the streets you may find a shocked expression on your face when you find out that he has knifed you as you were gaining the mount position.
Is BJJ then only good for a ruled sport? It's effectiveness in real combat similar to that of TKD or point karate?
