Hazrat how about wrestling?
Rasoolullah did wrestle right?

I ve never tried any of these anyway. Don't know if I ever will.

I think you can safely place the following sports under the rubric of wrestling and which have beneficial from a self-defense perspective:

1) Judo
2) Sambo
3) Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

Also, there is a very effective form of striking known as kyokushin karate that has served as the base for many a successful K-1 fighter (K-1 is the premiere "kickboxing" organization in the world). In Kyokushin, no punches to the face are allowed, although kicking is. Despite no punching to the face being allowed, Kyokushin fighters have accounted themselves VERY WELL against boxers and kickboxers who do compete under rules that allow them to strike to the face.

If Muslims held their own competitions and training practices where they made just a single rule change, i.e. no kicks to the head, I think they could enjoy the benefits of Kyokushin as a devastating form of self-defense while not engaging in haraam.
