dirty is good as long as it's realistic (poking an eye is not because it takes way too much nerve for the granny, kicking the balls IS)
if the fight took more than a few seconds against anyone NOT trained in any kind of MA - it's not what I need.

Yes and no.
Muay Thai is brutal on the joints and requires good conditioing. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, unlike Muaty Thai or it's parent Japanese Jiu Jitsu, is all about thinking, technique and leverage. Weight and strength always play a part, but as far as a grannie overcoming a thug, BJJ is among the better bets.
