I can't speak for everyone, however, in my line of work, I often will be surrounded by several people who are incarcerated for a variety of reasons. There are people there for minor violations all the way up to multiple homicides. There are people who are gang members and so on. Should several of them decide to attack me, my ability to successfully execute a flying armbar, defend against an Omo-Plata of defend the cross-body armbar will be of little benefit. each of us deals with a different reality in our day to day lives and we each see "self defense" differently as well. Do I believe training in various martial arts over the years is helpful to self defense? Absolutely. But they, just like the RBSD systems do have their weaknesses.
