Its nice to think that other people wont use weapons thus you dont need to either but unfortunately that isnt the case. Ive seen quite a few gang war type scenarios where a whole heap of guys have chains, baseball bats etc. I keep an axe handle in my car which is weighted just like a sword. Ive had to weild it twice in real life situations. I only pulled it out because I was out numbered.
Dont get me wrong. I think jujitsu is a great art. Ive done a bit of it myself. The main problem with it as a grappling art is that while you have one guy messed up with you grappling his mate comes over and kicks you in the head. That is why I dont think anyone should rely on just grappling. That is assumiong by jujitsu you mean the more trendy brazilian jujitsu which relys wholy on grappling instead of that japanese version which has heaps of striking too. I personally think a combination of thai boxing and jujitsu will give you the tools to deal with almost any real life situation. Thats my opinion anyway.
