Can I learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense?

beginnerself defense

BJJ handles one specific scenario extremely well: a physical confrontation that goes to the ground with one attacker. Most real fights end up there. You learn to stay calm when someone is on top of you, escape bad positions, and control aggressive people without throwing punches. However, BJJ alone does not address weapons, multiple attackers, or striking - you need additional training for complete self-defense.
