user, bjj is pretty damned dangerous on the street.
Wrestling anyone is dangerous as fuck.
I can't tell you how many times I was punched or kicked in the face or had dudes jump me while using my country boy wrestling skillz to put a dude down.

Standing and banging is the safest choice and gives you the option to fight or run and assess the situation. Going for a piss poor takedown then getting them on the ground leaves you open unless you have a lot of dudes watching your back or it's a one on one thing.
Even then, if they aren't fighting fare then you're pretty fucked if they decide to pull a knife or bite a plug out of any part of you that's close to their mouth.

The whole “bite a grappler” argument always sounded dumb to me, since one of the first thing I learned in judo was head and neck control, as do wrestlers. I imagine BJJ is similar.

Actively doing BJJ, Judo and Aikido for all at least 6 years, with some boxing thrown in. In the one scenario where a drunk guy tried to tackle me I actually used Aikido, with a beautiful flying faceplant as a result. He was okay as the whole thing luckily happened on soft grassy sandy soil, just a bit groggy.

>tfw would love to take up Muay Thai
Any anons that can recommend it?

Training judo is different from actually wrestling people and grappling.

In my neck of the woods damn near every male knows how to wrestle or some basic grappling.
That's just how it is.
Biting is a thing.

god i wish that was me

no

Yeah but how would they bite you in a choke, a katagaruma (I typed that wrong I’m sure of it) or a pin where you push their arms in their face. Or any rear or back based pin/arm bar. Also what neck of the woods are you cause I know a lot of eurobros have trouble finding a decent wrestling school.
