Wrestling or Kickboxing? Which is better in a real fight?

Wrestling. I'm pretty big myself, but I've had guys that were 6'7" approaching 300 LB step to me and in a split second they were upside down grasping their solar plexus making funny noises trying to catch their breath while their friends laughed at them or rubbing the back of their skull in a dizzy haze wondering how that just happened. Getting dropped on your head on the concrete isn't fun. It's over before it starts.

This is how it goes down for real... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7i2TbhLg6c He didn't even get off a clean suplex because that other dude was kicking him from behind, but still that big oaf got a concision...

Another thing people don't tend to understand, is that real wrestlers will throw your ass. We don't take you down and do ground and pound. That's MMA... Freestyle or Greco will drop you on your head or on your collar bone and break your shit just like that. We don't play.

If you can't keep yourself from hitting the ground with kickboxing, you're in trouble.
Going to the ground in the real world is tough.
The ground's hard, it's dirty, it's got sharp edges and jutting things that would just love to slice you open.
In the real world, you need to be able to control the fight even if you go to the ground.
So wrestling.

Both are benefitial in a streetfight, but try kickboxing first I guess, I firmly believe once you go down on the ground you already lost somewhat

Kickboxing. It has more sharp, defined moves that would be useful in a 'real' fight where the opponent has no rules.

There's more contact in wrestling. It could be good for a street brawl between a few lads, but at least in my view, for myself, I would say kickboxing is better because it's a better defence mechanism when under attack.

In a real fight, wrestling is far more useful.
Though a kickboxer with solid take down defense is lethal as well.

[Asker]

How is wrestling more useful since there is not hitting allowed?

[rthomas43]

If you control where the fight takes place, you control the fight.

[NateInAk]

Plus in a real fight, you can hit.
Wrestling can actually help you take away that option for your opponent.

[princessmethteeth]

This is funny... You act like the concrete doesn't hit... lol

A kickboxer. Though there are some very aggressive wresting styles as well that will probably will make you do well in a fight.

Never tried kickboxing but as a kid and teen I fought with my legs. Wrestling was more for sports. I don't recall ever grappling in a fight.

[Iron_Man]

Wrestling by far hands down
