First up, let’s talk about Greco Roman wrestling. This style of wrestling is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of the sport. It originated in ancient Greece and Rome and is characterized by a focus on upper body strength and throws. In Greco Roman wrestling, the use of legs is heavily restricted, making it a great option for those looking to improve their upper body strength and throws.

Next up, we have catch wrestling. This style of wrestling is known for its emphasis on submission holds and joint locks. It was popularized in the early 20th century and was often used as a way for wrestlers to make money on the side by taking on all comers in “catch as catch can” matches. Catch wrestling is a great option for those looking to improve their submission skills and add a new dimension to their grappling game.

Then there’s Olympic wrestling. This style of wrestling is the one you’re most likely to see in the Olympics and is characterized by a focus on points and technical proficiency. Olympic wrestling is a great option for those looking to improve their overall grappling skills and increase their chances of winning tournaments.

But what about the impact of these styles on nogi/ADCC grappling? Well, each of these styles can be used to improve your nogi/ADCC grappling in different ways. For example, if you’re looking to improve your upper body strength and throws, Greco Roman wrestling is a great option. If you’re looking to improve your submission skills and add a new dimension to your grappling game, catch wrestling is a great option. And if you’re looking to improve your overall grappling skills and increase your chances of winning tournaments, Olympic wrestling is a great option.

In conclusion, there are a plethora of different wrestling styles to choose from, each with its own unique set of techniques and strategies.
