If you dont train for multiple attackers no matter how great you are in bjj you might just get fucked up in a real fight dont get me wrong it may save your life. I may not be able to tap any high level guys in a bjj competition but i know i can do some serious damage and survive in a street fight. Last couple years i been really putting the effort to learn ground fighting so my jiujitsu can be more complete cause you never know so might as well be prepared.
well, even if you train for multiple attackers, you are still going to get fucked up, unless you are picking fights with quartets of 6th graders. Like I said above, this sort of situation depends much more on physical prowess as much as training IMO. You will definitely need to be able to absorb some shots and have enough mustard to keep the blows to "one per customer". I am assuming we are talking about folks who really mean to hurt you, and not some fratboy type drunken brawl. People can practice all they want, but it will come down to you had better be a strong, tough, hard hitting S.O.B. who doesnt trip over the first goof ball tackling you, and even then it is going to come down to luck.
