Description
Wrestling, as modelled in this database, denotes the Western/international
grappling lineage that converged into the modern Olympic and folk wrestling
forms - Greco-Roman, freestyle, folkstyle, catch, and submission wrestling. It
is one of the oldest human combat disciplines, appearing in the ancient Olympic
Games in 708 BC. National and regional wrestling traditions outside this lineage
- Chinese shuai jiao, Mongolian bökh, Japanese judo and sumo, and others - are
modelled as separate, unrelated Style entries rather than as variant_of this
node, even though English usage sometimes groups all of them under the single
word "wrestling".
