When the uninitiated claim wrestling hasn't any striking it's because they've never felt 'snap-downs' or open hand cuffing to the ear hidden in an attempted neck clench. Also uninitiated claiming folk collegiate wrestling hasn't any finishes nor submissions, like found in catch wrestling & Jiujitsu, haven't been put into the hip separating banana splits, never been suplexed or body slammed by a wrestler, or any of the neck y spine wrenching wrestling pins that will tear, pop and separate junk on the untrained body. Also, first time I witnessed a challenge fight between a golden glove boxing champ & a collegiate folk wrestler, in the U.S. Army, the wrestler suplexed the boxer onto his head, knocked him out, we all feared him dead, the wrestler began to cry thinking he'd killed the boxer, but thankfully he lived. Wrestling is a devastating martial art and on pavement can be as deadly as Judo is on pavement. You don't recover from a pavement body slam like being slammed on spring floor covered by wrestling mat found in UFC cages. During my time active duty we always had no holds barred bareknuckle challenge matches, soldiers y marines of various fighting disciplines, including MMA, but no one was as respected or avoided as the former high school or college wrestling champs. Most guys avoided their challenges even though they'd accept challenges from everyone else. Those skills don't really transition well into old age the way Jiujitsu, judo or even boxing can. But in their prime, a collegiate wrestling champ is a tier one apex predator that can body slam you into death, break your neck, break your spine, separate your hips, pop y tear your limbs or take you down then bounce your face/head into pavement. I saw a 5th group S.F. guy, an Army wrestling champ, take a knifer face down on pavement, then kept bouncing the thug's face off the concrete til he was unconscious. He could killed him after w/a neck stomp but he didn't want a murder charge. Anytime people say wrestling is a sport y isn't lethal or not good for self defense, they've never fought a wrestler.
