    BJJ prepares you for that better than any other art.

    Why do you think you will have any arms free to start your dick yanking? Every move in BJJ requires the BJJ player to control the other persons limbs. At all times. Otherwise, you cannot execute any fundamental BJJ technique. I can't apply an arm bar if you have the other arm free to do something to stop me. I cannot pass their guard if their arms are free to block me. It is a simple and fundamental concept that non-grapplers never seem to be able to grasp. Probably because they refuse to actually do the work and try it out.

    I love the oversimplified response of, "ya well, I'll just grab him by the balls!"

    BJJ is about control, when executed correctly it doesn't leave that kind of space.

    Example: I end up in side control, I'm controlling your elbow closest to me so you can't hip escape and driving my head into your chin. You'll thrash around for a bit, then get tired and need a rest. At this point I'm going to elbow you in the face or head butt your nose/mouth. That's where you decide whether you continue to eat headbutts/elbows or turn your back and give me a choke. It's like trying to fight a shark in water, you can't out maneuver it and trying to grab my balls or bite me results in a more severe ending.

    Position before submission right? I mean if I'm in a dominant position it's not easy to flip the tables.

    A solid grappler isn't somehow unable to "fight dirty". More than a few grapplers know more than a few moves that are totally illegal in matches...bicep/calf slicers, heel hooks, neck cranks, small joint locks/breaks. Sure you aren't allowed to use those in competition, but hey...Big boy rules. And some of those hurt more than and cause more permanent damage than a bite or even a kick in the pills.

    When in Turkish bath houses, do as Turkish bath houses do.
