wrestling techniques classification

Wrestling techniques are classified mainly into "holds," which control an opponent using body positions or grips; "takedowns," which bring an opponent to the mat from a standing position; and "throws," which project an opponent onto the mat with force. They are also categorized by their purpose, such as defense, offense, or reversal, and by style, like Greco-Roman or freestyle. These classifications help wrestlers develop specific skills and strategies for control, balance, and scoring points during matches.
