I forgot to mention the great Helio Gracie who is like 5'6" and 100lbs. and 80 years old, still spank the big wrestlers, Aikidoists, Karate practioners, boxers and etc. who show up to check out BJJ.

He was only defeated twice. Once to the reigning Japanese Judo champion, Kimura (who was mover 100lbs. heavier, over a decade younger and exceptionally skilled, perhaps the best Judoka who ever lived) in a grappling match and once in NHB to his top student who was twenty years younger in an epic 2 1/2 hour fight with almost no rules.

Show me a 5'6", 100lbs. 80 years old boxer who can fight and beat younger, bigger, stronger and more athletic boxers let alone other stylists.

That says a lot about the techniques (based on leverage) of BJJ.
