I don’t quite understand. Is there a guard pass technique that works in a
street scenario that doesn’t open me up for an armbar? If someone in my
guard punches me or puts their hand on my chest to push off, that would
make it easier for me to armbar them. I don’t like to train techniques that
seem so easy to counter.

+dingoleh You make some great points. To answer your question; like the Gracies, I want to be the ultimate fighter. I want to keep improving and be the best I can be. I want to be able to beat brock lesnar or cain velasquez, anderson silva, etc. I may never get there, but I want to keep improving. What other option is there? Just train until I can beat 99% of people, (which I probably could right now) and then just drop out? Ultimately, I want to teach BJJ and perhaps some other martial arts as well. I want to… Read more »

+Shniggit 95% of the ppl that will fight someone in real life don't know any form of self defense. This is why martial artists say after they started martial arts they no longer fight or they don't feel the need to prove themselves by fighting. They only fight if it's the last resort. So if you get into BJJ solely for self defense why train for the probably 1% of ppl that knows BJJ and are willing to pick fights with random strangers? Of course once you reach a certain level you will naturally do more sport BJJ because you would… Read more »

+dingoleh So I should push him off and punch him and then after he catches me in an arm-bar and breaks my arm then I should stop doing "street" BJJ? If punching your way out of the guard only works on people who don't understand grappling, then why would I want to waste my time training a technique that only works on people without training? It seems to me that punching your way out of the guard is either a good idea or a bad one. If it's a good idea to punch your way out of the guard, then… Read more »

If you encounter someone that knows and uses BJJ in a street fight then it's not a "street fight" anymore. It becomes a BJJ match. At that point you would abandon the street BJJ techniques and resort to the pure BJJ competition techniques. The only thing is that you have to be alert to the fact that your opponent can strike/punch you at anytime.
