And usually that really isn't even the issue. A street fight doesn't start like your average sparring session, two people facing each other starting to dance back and forth exchanging punches. In a street confrontation you may already have been taken down to grappling range when you first realize you are being attacked in the first place. Someone tackles you from behind or takes a chokehold and you don't have the choice of trying to knock him down before starting grappling... |

And this is the exact scenario I was hoping someone would bring up. A situation applicable to the street that makes a very good pro-grappling case as opposed to the UFC supported case that comes up so often. This is why it's completely necessary to have both good grappling and striking skills so you can at least have some idea of how to deal with random situations.
Balance is necessary in martial arts.

Karate can defeat jui-jitsu. jui-jitsu can also defeat Karate. depends on who trains harder.
