Wrestling

Wrestling is one of the earliest-if not the earliest-forms of martial arts.Virtually every ancient society had some form of wrestling,and many of those forms have survived almost unchanged right up to the present daysome such as the sumo wrestling of japan,are highly stylized;others,such as Yaghliguresh(Turkish Wrestling),are much more free-form.Other Examples of wrestling include sanbo(Russian),cireum(Korean,similar to sumo),dumog(Filipino),koshti(Iranian), and naban(Burmese).And,of course there's modern-day professional "wrestling",which is more of a choreographed show than an actual form of fighting.

The Primary aim of any style of wrestling is to force the opponent to the ground and pin him there.Thus,the art involves few strikes,but many different forms of grabs and throws.Strength amd size play an important part;there are few successfull small wrestlers.

Schools:Wrestling can be learned just about anywhere;most junior high and High schools have a wrestling team for example.
