Grappling is a fighting technique based on throws, trips, sweeps, clinch fighting, ground fighting and submission holds.
It most commonly does not include striking or the use of weapons. However, some fighting styles or martial arts known especially for their grappling techniques teach tactics that include strikes and weapons either alongside grappling or combined with it.
