What Is the Difference Between Greco & Freestyle Wrestling?
Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wresting both involve grappling with an opponent, but the two sports have their differences. Although it has an ancient-sounding name, Greco-Roman wrestling originated in France in the 19th century; the name comes from a desire to incorporate ancient values. Freestyle wrestling which derives from catch-as-catch-can wrestling, where you can use nearly any technique to pin your opponent's shoulders to the ground, became popular during the 19th century in the United States and Great Britain.
Legs
In freestyle wrestling, participants can use their legs as both offensive and defensive weapons, which is not permitted in Greco-Roman wrestling. In addition, freestyle wrestlers can attempt to take an opponent to the mat with a single- or double-leg takedown, but Greco-Roman wrestlers cannot grab their opponents below the waist at all. Wrestlers in the two sports thus use significantly different techniques and strategies when grappling. Greco-Roman wrestlers also cannot use their legs to make contact with their opponents, making it more difficult to secure a takedown.
