In my opinion, in street fighting it is best for you to stay on your feet at all time. if you can finish the fight with one blow, then do so. Isn't this the principle teaching of karate? (I read about it somewhere)
Isn't it almost purely ground fighting? Whereas Wrestling and Judo have a much larger focus on takedowns and throws. I'm not sure.
