Jst revisiting this thread for the first time in a long while...
Since I've done a lot of BJJ and if I were to select one discipline to protect myself with BJJ would be it. Boxing is lethal, but if I were jumped it'd be BJJ I'd use to get out of the situation. Using boxing would just get you in trouble!
