I will start at UFC #1. Royce Gracie used grappling to defeat a bunch of strikers(and a few grapplers too). The UFC's showed how dangerous grappling was for strikers. Wrestling used to be thought of as "just a sport" until everyone saw a mediocre wrestler KO the self proclaimed "best wing chun fighter in Europe". Grapplers were beating world class stikers. One of Rickson Gracie's blue belts has choked Fernando Vargas (former boxing champion of the world in his wieght class) completely unconcious in a streetfight.
NOw about kung fu. Shaiou Shoa is a grapping thing in china comes from the Greeks wrestling. One of the famous Shaoiou shao people said that grappling was the most important skill and that 1 year grappling beats 10 years striking. He challenged a lot of the striking kung fu styles and beat them. Once again proving how grappling by nature defeats striking.
San shou. San shou uses Wrestling. or shoiou shoa. It's the exact same moves with no differences in technique from wrestling to shoui show. A lot of the san shou people have been fighting other styles with succces. They fight strikers and they can easiy throw and takedown the strikers. If they person they are fighting is a better striker they can always "escape the stirkes" by grappling with their opponenet.
Grappling has been proven to defeat striking thoughout various cultures and historical periods. It's benn proven many times. Don't listen to me, listen to the actual results of fights.
