I'm making the assumption that your primariy focus is some type of striking art (karate, TKD, etc). I would take a look at your kata and two-person drills and look for throw/lock/choke opportunities as "finishing moves" at the end of those sequences.
For example at our mid-level kyu ranks we have a prearranged "kyu kumite" sequence that has five sequences. The fourth sequence ends with the attacker performing a downward chop aiming towards the defender's head. The defender then steps into a shiko-dachi (low stance), performs an elbow strike to the sternum/solar plexus, and follows that with a backfist strike to the opponent's upper jaw (right beneath the nose). This postion has the defender primed to perform a number of different throws, such as an ippon seionage, o-goshi, or a number of other hip or shoulder trhows. In our "official" version, we perform an outer leg reap (o-soto-gari), but again, the position offers plenty of opportunities.
The fifth sequence of those drills ends with the attacker performing a right roundhouse kick. The defender then performs an "x-block" (combination of gedan barai uke & chudan barai uke), then performs a watashi-uke (circular block), which spins the attacker around. The defender then finishes the attacker with a shoken-tsuki (one knuckle strike) to the back of the skull. This also places the defender in a prime position for several techniques, such as a rear naked choke. Our official version has the defender kicking the attacker's leg out from underneath him while pulling back on the shoulder, taking him to the ground, and then finishing him with a strike to the neck or floating ribs (whichever presents itself).
I'd start with what the drills you're already comfortable with, and find the grappling techniques that present themselves in those drills.
