Hey, thanks for coienntmmg.I agree with you that BJJ does not have all the answers, for sure. But IF you end up on the ground, especially with a much larger attacker, you need to have basic BJJ skills to be able to escape. Those BJJ skills should ideally be complemented by dirty tactics that will give you a greater advantage. However without the fundamental understanding of position, how to escape from an inferior position, etc., you're really not going to have a chance on the ground.I also agree with you that if you're drunk or caught completely off guard there is no technique that's going to help you. That's why I say is 95% of self defense, and anyone can learn to be aware of their surroundings without spending a great deal of time training in physical self defense.BUT, I think people who teach others that physical tips and tricks alone are sufficient for self defense are doing a real disservice. Like you said, there's no technique in the world that's going to help you if you're caught completely off guard and outweighed by 50-100lbs. However, being aware of your surroundings combined with solid techniques and training methods (especially if they involve weapons) will. In my I explain what it really takes to defend yourself, and provide the techniques and training methods to get to that point. I completely understand if someone doesn't have the time or desire to train enough to be able to defend themselves. But that doesn't diminish the fact that a few physical tips alone aren't going to save them. Anyway, good points!
