I'm very interested in learning a grappling art next and was wondering if any of you could perhaps give me an idea as to what kinds of grappling arts there are...Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I know of, but not much about them. Are any of them more beneficial to a woman?

Judo, Jiu Jutsu, Brazillian and Gracie Jiu Jutsu, Aikido and Hapikido are all grappling arts. They are all useful for physically weaker people.
http://www.kickboxing.com has a lot of links to these arts that you could look into  |

Kewl, thanks Jack - but I'd also like people's opinions as to what they prefer and why.

Ummmm.... Jack i think u have ur info wrong - HapKiDo isn't a grappling art. It's primarily striking and it incorporates standup locks and stuff into its syllabus. Trust me HapKiDo is a striking art.
I suggest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Gracie Jiu Jitsu to everyone, cos i see these as the best grappling arts in the world.
Would they be beneficial for a woman? Well, i guess they're beneficial for everyone whose serious about their martial arts, although a woman might find grappling against a man a bit compromising when it comes to moves such as the guard and mount 
I've grappled with a woman before and she was tough, although not physically stronger her technique was good and she had me all locked up.

grappling is a very good skill and if you wanna be a good all rounded fighter then you need grappling along with striking! gracie jiu jitsu is very good as everyone has been telling you
i do the canadian style of jiu jitsu that is sanctioned under the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Association......our jiu jitsu encompases throws locks punches kicks and grappling so it is a good art that trains you well for the street as well as for competition |

Thanks alot Prodigy-Child. I've heard so much about it and considering that most fights end up on the ground anyways, it just makes sense to take grappling in addition to my kickboxing - not a helluva lot of good my spinning hook kick is gonna do on the ground... I'll do some research and decide where I'd like to train and I'll look for a school that teaches jiu-jitsu that's sanctioned under the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Assoc. I didn't know you were in Canada too! Thanks again...
Lori

Jiu-jitsu is a very good idea, Lori.
And also its great you are looking for an organized School.
Now jiu-jitsu is so popular there's a lot of fake teachers... same happends everytime there's a popular art around.
Good luck.
Angus, I think Hapkido is more stand up locking with strikes... i don't consider hapkido as striking Art, man ... we did more locking than striking in the school i was.
I guess it depends on the Teacher, maybe my teacher liked more the stand up grappling. Now im agree that hapkido doesn't have well developed ground grappling . For ground grappling, Jiu.jitsu, Judo, Sambo and wrestling are the answer...lol

HapKiDo must be different everywhere - but it was created from a dude who did TKD and then went to Japan to study Aikido. All the locks and stuff i did was in our self-defense component of the syllabus. Strikes were our primary initiative.
