WRESTLING

 

Course age 13 years and older

Wrestling is the act of physical engagement between two people in which each wrestler strives to get an advantage over, or control of, the opponent. Physical techniques which embody the style of wrestling are clinching, holding, locking, and lever-age. Avoiding techniques likely to lead to serious injury, the basic principles of wrestling are closely related to those of military hand-to-hand combat or self-defense systems.

Many styles of wrestling are known all over the world and have long histo-ries. Amateur wrestling has been an Olympic sport for over one hundred years and professional wrestling is a popular form of enter-tainment as well as an art form.
