Kung fu is an umbrella term that can encompass any type of martial art, including Wrestling. Plus, it depends on what styles of Chinese Martial Arts and wrestling you are referring to. Chinese martial arts has a form of wrestling known as Shuai Jiao. The point of the style is to hurt the opponent by repeatedly slamming their body on the ground. This is primarily stand up wrestling, meaning it does not have any ground techniques. This leaves it vulnerable to styles like Greek, Brazilian, or Japanese wrestling because they are primarily performed on the ground. However, these styles are vulnerable to stand up fighting if they can't get their opponent on the ground. Some Chinese martial arts schools that have been exposed to ground wrestling have developed techniques to keep proponents from getting taken down. One of these is side-stepping tackles. In the end, both Chinese martial arts and foreign styles of wrestling have there own built in weaknesses.
