The intimidation of being a Grimm is a big thing in the show. For one it works as a good threat instead of punching someone in the face. A good example is in "My Fair Wesen". Trubel pinned Megan against some wood and Megan woged into aMauzhertz. She pleaded for her life and Trubel demanded to know what Cammy had been up to. That event relied totally on the Grimm reputation. Again in "Eyes of the Beholder"  Juliette and Alicia are betting up joe. But as soon as he woges and sees Nick is a Grimm he becomes more worried about Nick killing him then the two women who just bet him up. In every fight the wesen are holding their own until they find out Nick or Trubel is a Grimm.

You also have to consider being a Grimm means being able to see into the depths of a wesens soul. I am sure this would have a very profound psychological effect. So much so that Trubel instantly realized what a powerful weapon her eyes are. in "Cry Luison" Trubel throws Joe against the car punching him in the face. He is stil resistant fighting back. It is not until he woges and sees Trubel is a Grimm that he all of a sudden gets scared and pleads for his life. I am sure the machete helped with the intimadation. But he was pelading even before she took out the machete.
