Here’s another informative video from one of my favorite BJJ references, Stephan Kesting. I don’t agree with everything here—especially the bit about subduing a suspected thief for 40 minutes (good luck explaining that to law enforcement!)—but there are some very valid points here that compliment Krav Maga. Stephan is also quick to agree with all the standard arguments against recommending grappling for self-defense.

For once I read something insightful (rather than inciteful) in YouTube comments: “If you’re in a fight that you can’t run away from, surrounded by dirty needles, broken glass and feces, under attack from multiple knife armed opponents, then I’d say that your choice of martial art is a loooong way down the list of your mistakes.”
