Striking to me is just kicking, punching... martial arts that focus on strikes. Grappling involves more holds, locks, manipulations and the like.

Its like Boxing vs. Wrestling. A striker will be good with his hands and feet... focus on hitting hard. A grappler will favor take downs and moves that favor taking that away. Though of course with MMA, most fighters now tend to be both.

Boxing vs. Wrestling I guess you could say to put it into styles.
