Ok, i'll try to quickly explain.

Judo: Lots of throws, ground work, some chokes, some submissions.

Japanese JJ: mostly standing locks, throws, some punches and kicking. Not really a grappling style.

BJJ: takedown, lots of submissions, chokes and work on positioning.

Wrestling: There's many style of wrestling but mainly it involves a lot of clinch work, and pinning your opponent down. Not alot of submissions and chokes. Wrestlers mostly like working from the top while BJJ guys can easily work from top and bottom.

Sambo: To keep it simple there is 2 type of sambo. Combat sambo and sport sambo. When you look at sambo you see judo throws, BJJ ground work and lots of leg locks.

Remember this was a short description...
