One on one, you're going to dominate the guy. You'll use your jiu-jitsu to establish a dominant position and then you'll use your BJJ to submit or subdue the guy. Or, if you want, your common sense to punch the guy. For some reason, people think that if you train in BJJ, you forget you have a fist.
If there are two or more opponent's, knowing BJJ will help you GET UP if you are taken to the ground.
Look at it this way. If you don't train in a legitimate grappling art, be it catch wrestling, sambo, bjj or whatever, you will be HELPLESS against someone who decides that they do want to take the fight to the ground. All of this talk about how fights never go to the ground is utter nonsense. If a trained grappler decides to take you down, you will go down. Unless you've trained as well, you will not get back up.

NO.
NO.
NO.
Can I emphasize that enough?
Most fights never get on the ground. Even if they did, Gracie Jui Jitsu is a sport. Its no longer a real martial art. It ignores any kind of strikes, and expects the opponent to play be the same rules.
If you want something for real life fights, research hard to find a real fight school. Don't go to a school that teaches just one style. The only way to deal with every threat is to mix the styles. Just like the Blind Men and the Elephant, they all have a little bit of the truth. You have to get them all to get the whole truth.
If nothing else, go learn some boxing. It'll be more useful than anything else, and it'll get you in shape.

All the jiu jitsu styles have standing submissions. With 5 yrs wrestling and 2 jj you should know that and add mma; you should have figure it out by now. You stay on you feet and use what you got - BJJ has a few strikes and remember the standing submission. Mauy Thai is going to be great if you can keep it standing and with your wrestling background that should be no problem.

Yes it's the perfect SUPPLEENT I love my ground fighting skills as much as stand up but I hade to combine it with another style of Ju-jitsu for it to be complete like Atemi Ryu ju-jitsu. I haven't lost a fight since I started but, All my MMA fights end up on the ground so It is what you make of it. Good art yeah THE ONLY ART no

It definitely works in one on one street fights, assuming that you're not fighting a world class boxer/wrestler. But if we're talking about random mouthy guys, you could be half as strong and half as fast but with a good deal of GJJ training you could break any limb of your choice.

riven3187 is absolutely right, its like the saying goes, you box a wrestler and wrestle a boxer, just doing BJJ will definately give you an advantage and definately work well in a real fight, but its not the be all and end all, you need both, stand up and ground

it's ground fighting and you don't need athleticism, size, or strength. they teach you to take advantage of body weight, balance, and body mechanics, fight smart, and keep your enemy from knocking you around. it's not an end-all solution, they could knock you out with the first punch if you aren't careful. anything can happen in a fight, if you aren't competing your best solution is to get them off of you so you can get away. follow the oldest and noblist of pirate tradition: fight...to run away

No, the thing with Jiusitsu is that when you use it against someone he will become horny and as well as you and you will end up making love on the ground. Hey, matter of fact its good for real fights, since you end up making love rather then fighting, yea! go with jiujitsu my friend.

GJJ just like many other grappling styles is great for one-on-one fighting. You may not be prepared to strike, which is why it is a common advocation that one should learn striking and grappling to mix it up, and be choosy.
