History of Wrestling
This is one of the oldest types of fighting; cave paintings in France dating back more than 15,000 years depict Wrestling matches, as do Hieroglyphs from Egypt and reliefs from Babylon.
In Ancient Greece, Wrestling was an essential part of the culture and was prominently featured in legends and literature.
Wrestling was also the central sport during the first Olympic Games. The international governing body for Wrestling, the FILA, was founded in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1912.
Nowadays, Wrestling is a term that comprises many different types of sport, from Greco-Roman Wrestling and Amateur Pankration to Oil Wrestling and Freestyle Wrestling.
While the specific rules may vary between those various types, the goal is always the same: to obtain a superior position.
Wrestling has also influenced many other combat sports and Martial Arts, such as Judo.
Common Injuries
As a combat sport, the physical contact characterising Wrestling makes it easy to get injured.
Wrestling is a relatively aggressive, fair, and very physical full-contact sport, so you must purchase the right Travel Insurance to cover you adequately when you are away.
The knees, shoulders, upper body, ankles and head are the most common areas that get injured when wrestling.
Mainly, the joints are susceptible to injuries; joint locks are a popular way to keep one opponent locked into a particular position.
If you are injured whilst Wrestling, managing the injury is essential to ensure a quick and complete recovery.
Because this is a full-contact combat sport, there is no successful way to avoid injuries besides regular training and ensuring that you are in good physical shape.
Wrestling Equipment
This is arguably the cheapest sport in the world. No equipment is needed whatsoever; Wrestling is done barehanded.
However, people who participate in matches might wear special Wrestling shoes that offer more traction on the ground. Clothing consists of nothing more than a sleeveless shirt and tight shorts.
