Both karate and wrestling can be used for self-defense. Both karate and wrestling can be disciplined. With my boys now in wrestling instead of karate, it has me wondering which is best. They both have their advantages.
Wrestling is a more intense workout. Karate has a much greater spiritual and intellectual side. Wrestling is a sport. Karate is the do. With wrestling a lot of it really comes down to strength and endurance as moves become quite sloppy in the junior level as the match advances. Karate is about perfection.
I feel fortunate that my boys have been able to participate in quality programs in both disciplines. It is something I will think more about as I move forward.
