Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling is a style of wrestling that allows a wide range of holds and techniques. Originating in the late 19th century, it emphasizes the use of any part of the body to gain an advantage over an opponent. Wrestlers can win by pinning their opponent's shoulders to the mat or forcing them to submit. This form of wrestling is known for its fluidity and adaptability, as there are few restrictions on the moves used. It has influenced various modern wrestling styles, including professional wrestling and mixed martial arts, making it a significant part of combat sports history.
