Not as horrible as you would think, because you are controlling both arms, and they will be easily swept if they try to drive into you, since your feet are in their armpits and you can easily hook their legs. Not that I would ever dream of doing it ... plus it needs a gi to be very effective. Nobody you fight on the street is going to be good enough at BJJ that you need to pull stuff like this.

I think Nick Diaz may have used this guard with some success in MMA.
