Wrestling

Wrestling is a physical competition involving grappling techniques, where two opponents engage in various forms of holds, strikes, and maneuvers to gain control over each other. It is a sport that can take place in various styles, including freestyle, Greco-Roman, and professional wrestling, each with different rules and objectives. In its competitive form, wrestlers aim to score points through takedowns, reversals, escapes, and near falls, or to pin their opponent’s shoulders to the mat for a definitive victory. Wrestling is also characterized by its emphasis on strength, technique, endurance, and strategy. Outside of competitive contexts, wrestling may also refer to choreographed performances in entertainment, where athletes portray characters and storylines, often seen in professional wrestling entertainment like WWE. Overall, wrestling encompasses both a competitive sport and a performance art, appealing to a wide audience.
