The impression I got from the original post was that the author thought BJJ has been rated too highly, by some, as a means of self defence in circumstances such as this. It is a view I share but, as things stand, I still would not bet money on my chances with a BJJ Black Belt.

BJJ maybe, I don't know. As for GJJ, Rorion Gracie has said that he wouldn't try and go to the ground or get to tied up with a guy with a bunch of buddies backing him up. That's just common sense.

Regardless of what some people might say, I don't think any system of self-defense can really prepare a person to deal with multiple attackers. However, if there is a system like that out there then it should be displayed at an MMA venue for the world to see.
