Can anyone help me find different types of grappling martial arts and soft martial arts?

I need to find different types of grappling martial arts besides Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Judo, and i need different forms of soft martial arts besides Kung-Fi or Aikido....thanks!|||Ultimately,





It depends on what is available for you.





Other grappling based Martial Arts:





Sambo: Essentially a combination of Judo and Russian Folkstyle wrestling. Great Art, especially Combat Sambo which also does striking. There are quite a few schools in the US, but it is still pretty hard to find.





Catch Wrestling: Olympic style wrestling with hooks (submissions). Very solid style, but hard to track down someone legitimate, so hard to find.





Greco Roman: Upper body derived take downs, no shots, solid throws, and matwork no submissions.Usually taught in High School as part of a Wrestling Athletic Program.





Freestyle Wrestling: Shots, and of course matwork. No submissions. Usually taught in High School as part of a Wrestling Athletic Program.





Shuai Jiao: Chinese/MOngolian wrestling. Some all around wrestling with some submissions, I haven%26#039;t really rolled with any practitioners so I can%26#039;t tell you how effective it is, but it is rare and probably no school near you.





Khmer Traditional Wrestling: Basic wrestling style, very leverage based, no submissions or joint locks, just solid fundamentals. If you live in Cambodia, easy to find, otherwise good luck.





Others have mentioned Japanese JiuJitsu.





There is no basically Submission Wrestling that is easy to find. Solid No Gi based wrestling that involves submissions and generally includes techniques from many grappling arts.





As far as Soft Style:





By lsaying no Kung Fu (which is MANY MANY styles, some of which are soft) essentially you are looking for Soft Style arts that are not Chinese.





Soft styles are generally styles that focus on redirection of energy and flowing type of attacking.





Systema: Russian based art, normally considered flowing, but it differs so greatly hard to really label it. 90% of it is BS, but there are good schools.





Hapkido: Think of it as Korean Aikido with more strikes, still uses principles of redirection and flow.





Silat: Indonesian art, though it does combine some hard principles, it is very flow derived.





There are probably a ton of arts that combine hard and soft elements, not to mention probably a few dozen of rare or exotic soft style arts, all of which are isolated and hard to find on a broad scale.





Hope that is of some help to ya.|||Look at real Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and Kuntao methods. (I mean methods that go beyond just doing forms and incorporate sincere and applicable energy drills of push hands and sparring.)





Surprisingly, if you find someone good at these methods, you will find someone versitile enough to both strike and grapple.|||Greco-Roman wrestling, and Sambo are some other grappling arts to consider.|||Sambo is an excellent choice as pointed out above. Traditional JiuJitsu is also an option(the japanese version).





As for a soft style are you looking for a soft striking(Kung Fu) or a soft throwing(Akido) Style?
