Seriously, does the fight end when you get kicked, or thrown on your back? Street fighting is way different than "sport" fighting. But if you want to be well rounded, I suggest you study multiple arts. Professional fighters study more than one or two arts, and if they say they don't they are lying. They may have a main art, and maybe work weak points with someone else.
I have to agree that you dont need a set of 12 techniques to escape from wrist grabs and 12 for lapel reversal, its a waste of time. The better escapes are done vs. bear hugs (rear and front) and vs. headlocks (rear and front) which happen in real fights.

Also vs. shoving is good too.
