If you bank on a psychopath then you won't be disappointed
I can come up many reasons:
- If your opponent is a striker and you want to take his striking ability away ASAP.
- You are in a crowded space such as a train station that you are just next to your opponent with both bodies touching.
- You don't want to stand in the court to explain why you had broken your opponent's nose.

Youknowwho- The creator/adaptor of modern BJJ (Helio Gracie) intended it to be a martial art and is against the sport version with all the rules and doesn't like it or believe in it. Some (Gracie) schools still teach the art with a self-defense focus (not sport), including the one I'm attending.
Frost- Cool. Since Helio's passed on, we can agree to disagree on the relative value he placed on the guard position.
How far do you want to stretch your "combat" training (I don't like the term "self-defense")?
Have you included
- cold weapon?
- hot weapon?
- multiple opponent's?
- rocks, daggers throwing?
- kick/step on your opponent's head while he is on the ground?
- small finger joints manipulation?
- ...
As long as you use a safe skill "testing" environment, it's "sport" by definition.

thats not the point. the point is that when you are training you should not completely dismiss and or ignore these vulnerabilities in the human form. i'd put my money on the guy with the training over the guy with no training that wants to do these types of things in most all cases.
HOWEVER if the training and conditioning are equal, i'd put my money on the guy willing to fight with this kinds of dirty. he will have an advantage if all things else are relatively equal.
people have this mis guided thought that people who will fight dirty like this are all untrained.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Geez I don't know.

The 1990's are calling again.
agree. Like I said anything can happen in a fight. I thought we were discussing the person whom wants to gouge, fish hook, eye poke his way out of someone that is trained on the ground. in equal terms of stren., experience, etc. yes the person willing to go the furthest will probably win, but then their are many other deadly variables to consider besides a bite or eye poke if we are talking totality.thats not the point. the point is that when you are training you should not completely dismiss and or ignore these vulnerabilities in the human form. i'd put my money on the guy with the training over the guy with no training that wants to do these types of things in most all cases.

got the answer from an instructor the other day. When you wrap your arm around their neck, bringing their head next to yours, you push into the side of their head with the side of yours, thereby 'locking' their head into place and not allowing them the freedom of movement to bite.
ya but then what? you cant keep him there forever. suppose he snakes the free arm on that same side under and over your throat for a fore arm choke? then what will you do? what if he has a knife or a gun or a gaggle of nacho ninjettes? then how do you stop him from biting you?
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
You may have more chance to bite into your opponent's leg if he applies armbar on you.
