Wrestling

Wrestling is a physical competitive sport that involves grappling techniques such as throws, takedowns, joint locks, and pins. The objective is to gain control over an opponent using strength, strategy, and technique, often aiming to score points or achieve a fall, where an opponent’s shoulders are held to the mat. Wrestling can occur in various formats, including amateur wrestling (like Greco-Roman and freestyle) and professional wrestling, which often incorporates entertainment aspects. It is practiced both as a sport for competition and as a form of physical fitness or self-defense, and it has a long history in diverse cultures around the world.
