BJJ proved to be very successful in that arena... nothing more.
i feel much safer in my skills for example against multiple attackers on the street (which has happened) than i would knowing BJJ and being forced to lay on the ground choking someone while his friend kicks me in the face.

I repeat: nothing will save you against multiple attackers if they're actually attacking you and aren't just frat boys suddenly realizing they're in over their head. Nothing will save you if somebody cracks you in the dome with a baseball bat.
How is the ring different than the street? Both guys got two naked fists, two naked feet and elbows and knees. They're both hitting each other and grappling with each other.
you ninjas crack me up.
