Can anyone make a list of good grappling martial arts?

Basically, i am trying to peice together my own JKD, i already have striking covered with kickboxing. I'm taking up 7* mantis and wing chun (taught by the same people who teach Kick boxing) which should cover locks etc.





I have no intention of adding another martial art to the list yet, but i'd like to get an idea of what i'm looking for, ready for the future, so to complete covering of all striking ranges, i want to try to get some kind of grappling art in mind. (although its going to be more "what fits into my schedual" then anything else)





So if anyone knows a large number of grappling martial arts it'd be appreciated.





Also if you know any area's which are left open from studying the following could you let me know





Kickboxing (mixture of muay thai, chinese and japanese kickbxoing it seems... More like boxing + TKD with a kickboxing stance actually)





Wing Chun





Seven Star Praying Mantis.





ok, thanks in advance, and please no troll answers.

Reply:Some good lists here, so far. But something to keep in mind is that there's a difference between straight up grappling and then there's what I consider groundfighting. The divider between the two is that the latter includes strikes.





The strikes set up your sweeps and submissions. they're a great tool to distract or even to finish fights. People who don't practice sparring with strikes on the ground aren't always ready for that facet of reality. Of course, with your superior Judo, Sambo, or BJJ skills you should be able to neutralize an untrained person's attempts at striking from the ground, but still...





I'll tell you a brief story about me and this other guy in my MMA class, who I outweigh by twenty pounds. It goes like this; I almost always submit him. We started working ground and pound, and he landed so many shots that I would've been TKO'd 3 times in one round. It changed the dynamics A LOT.





Oh, also, I would like to mark a distinction between grappling arts. There are grappling arts that focus on standing jointlocks, there are grappling arts that focus on takedowns, and there are grappling arts that emphasize groundfighting. Of course, there is some crossover, but each grappling art is strongest in one of those areas.





For example, Aikido, Hapikido, Chin Na, etc are focused on standing joint-locks and takedowns that are done from a relative distance.





Wrestling works a lot from the clinch, and is mostly getting your opponent to the ground.





Judo and Sambo are heavily focused on takedowns as well, but they include a healthy amount of groundfighting.





Brazilian JiuJitsu and Submisson Wrestling have a bit of clinch and takedown stuff, but their primary focus is on ground grappling.





Make sure you know what you're getting into.

Those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head but there are more of course.
