it all depends on what kind of fight the real fight is. tight spaces, big open spaces... weapons or no weapons... a guy that wants to kill you or take something from you, or an idiot that just wants to pick a fight with you... also, the clothes ur wearing or any kind of stuff ur carrying... as in, if anything restricts your motion in some way, ur going to have to do something different than if you weren't restrained in some way ex. really tight pants (haha), a skirt (for the ladies), or whatever.
personally, if i got attacked or somebody tried to pick a fight with me and took the first action, i would probably use a striking style as that's what i'm trained in. but also, i find that if you're not a master at grappling, a lot of the movements and techniques become less useful in real situations... if you don't know how to do an armbar and try to, you might have some ugly results and get beat up. if you're not the best striker, you can still punch and kick.
altho i guess i'm being somewhat of a hypocrite because a couple weeks ago some guy tried to pick a fight with me and i put him in an armbar... haha.
