When does jujitsu become effective?

[PaulStat]

I'm curious, what grading would you say you'd have to be before jujitsu (or any martial art for that matter) gave you the upper hand in a real one on one fight?

Would you be able to remember what has been taught, or would your instincts take over and would there just be zero co-ordination?

Discuss!!

Your second point doesn't make much sense. You practice it a lot because then it becomes your instinct.

Yes but say you've had a few drinks, would it not all go out of the window?

It works well one on one, but I wouldnt like to go to the floor outside a club, as whoever your rucking with will most likely have friends waiting to beat you to a pulp.

I actually put this to my sensei as to what you would do, he said "simple just kill the guy you're dealing with on the floor by stamping on his temple, and then deal with the next fella"
