By "protrude" do you mean like a pro bodybuilder's?
That's called "distension," as in, "WOW! look at the distended abdomen on that guy!"
Typically associated with moronically low bodyfat levels and steroid abuse.
Your genetics will determine exactly how much "bulge" and "cut" your abs will get. Keep working, add some incline and/or weight to your crunches, and watch what you eat.
Them's the breaks.And lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings. And Kano spake: "Do not be concerned with the mote in thy neighbor's eye, when verily thou hast a massive stick in thine ass".

That's because high reps typically work endurance as opposed to hypertrophy (what you seem to want, although I can't see why) or strength. You need to do fewer reps to get strength and size gains. However, a good programme with all your usual compound lifts will get you all the ab strength and size you will need.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris -
