Are there any traditional martial arts that don't teach both striking & grappling?

I only know of combat sports that don't teach both grappling & striking

grappling only-
judo
bjj
wrestling
etc.

striking only-
boxing
kickboxing
sport karate
etc.

Traditional styles of karate, jujutsu, kung fu & pugilism teach both skills do you know any traditional styles/schools that teaches only one?
 
Pankration is a martial arts sport introduced to the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling. The term comes from the Ancient Greek ??????????, literally meaning "all powers" from ??? (pan) "all" + ?????? (kratos) "strength" or "power". It is also used to describe the sport's contemporary variations. Some consider it as the first all-encompassing fighting system in human history. It is also arguable that pankration competitions in antiquity were the closest an athletic event has come to outright, no-rules, empty hand combat. Modern mixed martial arts competitions have come to feature many of the same methods that were used in pankration competitions in the ancient Greek world.
Hope that helps
