Hello! I'm not an espert, so could you explain me what is the difference between grappling and striking, please?
However, I did Kung Fu for 4 years, then I stopped. Maybe in september I'll start to do Krav Maga.

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.
