the first one is like a windmill (seen in break dancing) except you don't rotate your legs more then once and you actually get up. The other is called a kip-up and is pretty common. I agree that you shouldn't do these moves in a fight especially against a wrestler since they'd love to get on top of your body and have a wrestling match with you instead. However it's not to say there's no point in learning them, both take alot of muscle control. The kip-up takes quite a good amount of ab contraction to work.

If you do however feel inclined to use these in a real fight I'd say make sure you're distanced well. Getting up from a knockdown in either a way is like a total diss to the other person, it's like saying "Wow is that the best you got?". Also you'd be surprised as to how quick some people can get up using a kip-up especially if you initiate it right after you a break-fall on your back.
