Wrestling is a sport in which a practitoner attempts to defeat an opponent without the use of striking. Wrestling has evolved into many different styles and forms. They range from world-wide, commercialised stadium events to less publicized, local amateur competitions. Generally, two persons compete against each other for each contest.

According to the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA), the governing body of international amateur wrestling, the four main forms of amateur competitive wrestling practiced internationally today are Greco-Roman wrestling, Freestyle wrestling, Judo wrestling and Sambo wrestling.

The aim


The aim of a wrestling contest depends upon its style, but common aims are:
  • touching the shoulders/back of an opponent to the ground or pinning them/it for a defined time,
  • throwing an opponent to the floor, and/or
  • gaining control over an opponent's body, which may include inducing submission,
  • forcing any body part other than the feet to touch the ground,
  • maneuvering an opponent's shoulders/back toward the ground or achieving other defined positions to earn points,
  • raising an opponent over one's head.
  • forcing one to the ground and shout to three or throw the opponent out of the stage and call another wrestler to challenge him
