I hear that Jiu Jitsu relies solely on antiquated throws and joint locks… how can that be street effective?
That is a common misconception. We ‘rely’ on anything that might be effective in stopping an attacker. This includes all sorts of strikes as well as modern throws, joint locks, limb destruction, etc… We teach the same type of material that you would learn in advanced armed and unarmed combat courses in the military and in advanced police training.
