I haven't had to use it in the street yet, but we do have full contact sparring sessions in MMA class where we employ these techniques. I was able to submit a larger opponent (50 lb advantage) by getting him in a rear-naked choke. If you learn the submission techniques, most people on the street are not going to be looking to defend them, such as a choke or an armbar. So, unless you get caught with a vicious knockout punch, you should be able to get that person in one of the submission holds.

yes. Also grappling helps you prevent going to the ground which is key in a situation where the person you are fighting with has friends or there are reasons you would prefer not to go to the ground in a fight or if it does you want to be able to escape or gain the upper hand or reduce it.
I have never taken a fight to the ground on concrete, but have thrown someone and have locked someone (head and arm and toss). It is VERY effective especially if the other person doesn't know how to grapple, then how the hell can they avoid it?
in sparring and in sport (used to wreslte) I have used much much more obviously.

There are three ranges to fighting. Long (Punch, Kick), Trap (Right in between long and grapple), and Grappling.
I'd say that "Trapping and Standing Grappling" skills are very useful. Bruce Lee partially struck on this with his martial art Jeet Kun Do. Which was the first martial art to focus on building trapping range effective techniques. I have been in a fight (started by them) and used a block trap technique that ended the fight before we got started. I blocked and joint locked his shoulder and bent him over.
It was so effective his friends didn't jump in for fear I was going to just break his arm. Good luck :) study hard.

so this one was mostly take single leg takedowns and working from clinch sucseeful to a degree under the circumstances
i fought a boxer the reason i know he was a boxer was cuz he kept yelling it while we were grappling in a clinch(dont ask me why he mentioned it).he got no real shot off before i closed the gap and clinched it was stalemate so i shoved my way out to throw my hands but he immediatly went for a week tackle looking for no legs so i sprawled we both popped up toe to toe again and as he threw a punch i muay thai clinched(head control) and threw him on the ground his friend then started kicking me on the ground and i'd grab a leg of the nearest stomper and take him down mount punch his face untill id get kicked over and then repeat untill the bulk of the guys jumping me gave up and decided to go after my other friends.we lost as we were outnumbered and i got a nasty scalp scar now but there you go most fights u will utalise grappling eventually.unless your chicano where its taboo to kick or grapple and you usually only see toe to toe boxing weak as it may be. sometimes even open hand

Tell you what, I was a bouncer at a biker bar for a few years. Rule is, if you hit someone in the face they are going to come back and git ya.
You don't want to go down to the ground in this kind of situation either. Your asking for a boot in the face or a knife in the back.
The best, safest trick in the book was the double underhook while keeping your head under their chin. Easy to back 'em up out of the door. No escalation of violence. Better that way.

Yes, I have. Yes, it was effective. And yes you can use grappling methods without going into ground/submission wrestling.
Having said that.... If you're talking about a real nasty self-defense situation, relying on grappling does have certain disadvantages when it comes to multiple opponents or weapons.

Yes, it did work I was able to use a pain compliance technique that brought him down without really hurting the guy, and all I had to do was use a simple reversal technique.
and no you don't have to use grappling techniques just to go to the ground, because it's a matter of redirecting and using your opponent's momentum against him to bring him down while you stay on your feet

Heck yea I have. I dont "grab" punches all that much unless they over commit. I held some one in a triangle choke until the campus security got there. He had his face in my balls for 13 minutes, it was classis. Then he got assault charges for hitting his girlfriend who was my friend, hense why i was involved.
I had him submitted and kept slapping his face asking him if he liked how it felt. Each time he said "Im going to kick your *** when you let me go" i squeezed a little harder till he went limp, then i let him wake up again.
it was classic.

a nice headlock works wonders, or a strangle hold, but to do it right takes realy good timing.
