simultaneous discovery.My son trains Korean karate and they will grab and punch......so I offer that as proof koreans created grabbing and striking.
What do you call an art that integrates striking and grappling?

He alludes to something more in the op. I'm suggesting maybe it's time to get there.
I used to call them mixed martial arts, then some bozos stole that name.Hmm. Like, some sort of..hybrid..like..a mix of striking and grappling. A mix of martial arts that incorporates both...
What could we call it. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
NO IDEA!
I'm imagining Joe Rogan discussing the finer points of strappling.
But we're just starting to get the hang of this part of the thread.

I think what the OP is referring to is Chin-na. Which is catch and seize. It's an aspect of the striking art but it doesn't contain "felling" or throwing like judo. I don't know of any other art other than kung fu that has a word for it. Most arts don't separate things in that way. Kung fu does tend to be catagorical. MMA is more about mixing more than one art, which is different than aspects of fighting. There is overlap but an art is not the same as a catagorical aspect of fighting. Karate has strikes, throws and grabs. That's three aspects in one art. But due to the current nomenclature we have generalized arts by there predominant aspect.
A striking art.
The only "arts" that don't try to immobilize an opponent are sports like boxing and Taekwondo where the game is to punch or kick. Pre mma striking arts included control methods.
Trapping is both reactive and proactive.

Well now, I'm blushing. In my neck of the woods, we have always called it jiu jitsu.

The sad thing is...a lot of what he does is accurate.
Take for example the Thrust of Freedom. It's a joke. Until you watch him teach a seminar and show some ways of using it: Thrust Right (or Thrust Left) combined with an arm grab is a great hip throw. He has a combination that starts with Thrust Back which is a body grab defense...and the entire combination looks eerily similar to something we do in my Taekwondo class.

When something you train earnestly bears an eerie resemblance to an extreme parody... Red flag...

There's always some truth to comedy.
How effective is chin na?
Otherwise I donāt know of any art that relates to the OP question. You have striking arts, and grappling arts.
Muay Thai offers some standing grappling and Judo offers mostly standing grappling with high emphasis on takedowns. BJJ mostly ground although some can be used standing. Wrestling is both standing and ground.

Old Chinese saying said, "A bad punch is still better than a good Chin Na."
You can learned all 40 joint locking skill within 2 hours. But whether you can apply it on the street is something else.

I thought he was already a master of that?Grappling + Striking = "strappling"? IPerhaps Rogan would prefer ..."griping"?
I suppose that's true sometimes. But other times it's just Martial Arts. I find more humor in Martial Training than almost anything else in life.
Tell me you've EVER known an instructor who wasn't just like this.
Or a BB that didn't...
All parody. All so true.
