It doesn't matter what kind of hobby martial artist you are, your chances against two guys with weapons are low period.
Interesting, didn't think about it that way. (The ground stuff I mean)

However, would you agree that there's more to self defense than just grappling?
Don't you think that if you're in an alley or in a hostile environment where there are more people than just you and the guy you're fighting with, that staying off of the ground might be a good idea?
