The main difference between Freestyle Wrestling and Greco-Roman Wrestling lies in the rules governing permissible techniques and target areas.
In Freestyle Wrestling, competitors can use both their arms and legs to execute takedowns, throws, and holds, with points awarded for controlling an opponent’s back or exposing their shoulders to the mat. Additionally, Freestyle Wrestling permits attacking an opponent’s legs, facilitating a broader range of techniques and transitions during bouts.
On the other hand, Greco-Roman Wrestling strictly forbids using the legs for offensive actions and focuses solely on upper body moves. Athletes can only attack their opponents from the waist up, emphasizing throws and trips that require exceptional upper body strength and explosive techniques. While both styles share a rich history and require intense physical conditioning, these distinctive rule sets in Freestyle Wrestling and Greco-Roman Wrestling create unique dynamics and strategies, appealing to athletes with different wrestling preferences and skill sets.
