As long as your race possesses natural weapons that are linked to one or both of your hands (Claws, talons ect) that deal either slashing or piercing damage, of the non magical variety, You may use your natural weapons As part of your Unarmed strikes as granted by class features from the monk, fighter's unarmed fighting style, or similar; allowing you to change the damage type caused.
Eg, A Tabaxi With claws may change a monk's unarmed strikes from Bludgeoning damage to slashing, as they use their claws in place of knuckles. This may be flavoured as swapping from different styles of martial arts.
Note: This is not a feat in terms of one that should be taken using ASI or Racial features such as custom lineage or variant human's starting feats. This is a home rule to be implemented, and simply allows for alternative damage types for unarmed strikes based off racial features
