Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
If your looking for a non striking art then BJJ is for you!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.
It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique; most notably, by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat them. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi). Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training.
