WRESTLING HISTORY
World wrestling is the oldest form of competition and sports entertainment. It can be traced back to the Ancient Olympics in 708 BC and has been recorded in cave drawings as far back as 3,000 BC. The sport is categorized into four main styles: Greco-Roman, international, freestyle, and tag team wrestling.
A wrestler begins a match by standing upright and defending against attacks by his opponent. Points are scored when a wrestler successfully lifts, throws, catches, tucks, tackles, or twists his opponent’s body.
The most common types of wrestling are break-stance, toppling, pin-fall, touch-fall, and submission. A pin-fall is when a grappler is held in a pinned position while he or she cannot escape for a specified amount of time.
