Grappling includes takedowns!!
I've wrestled for 10 years (freestyle, now submission) and currently train with a club that provides open training space for martial artists of all backgrounds.
Its cool that I get to meet and train with people from different types of karate, kung fu, arnis, etc..
I'm always amazed at how similar all of these different martial arts really are.
Only two things bother me:
1. No one respects the stand up skills of a wrestler (huge mistake!)
2. Certain grappling styles start beginners on their knees during sparing and drilling (the biggest mistake you could ever make!!)
Anyways, I say get out and find a style that excites you, 'cause in the end we all end up learning the same things.
