Wrestling techniques involve various methods used to gain control over an opponent. Common techniques include takedowns, where a wrestler brings their opponent to the mat, and holds, which are used to immobilize or control the opponent's movements. Wrestlers also utilize escapes to break free from holds and reversals to turn the tables on their opponent. Another important aspect of wrestling techniques is grappling, which focuses on close-range combat and body positioning. Wrestlers learn to use their body weight and leverage to gain an advantage. Techniques like pins aim to hold an opponent's shoulders to the mat, securing victory in a match.
