JUDO is a Japanese martial art and an Olympic sport based on the principle of “maximum efficiency with minimum effort.” During a bout, throws, holds, joint locks, and chokeholds are used.

The main objective is to execute a clean throw (ippon), after which the opponent lands on their back with control and force, or to hold the opponent down on the ground for a specified period of time. Victory may also be achieved through a joint lock or a chokehold.

WOMEN’S WRESTLING is a discipline of competitive wrestling conducted under freestyle wrestling rules. Holds on both the upper and lower body are permitted, including the active use of the legs — leg attacks, trips, and takedowns into the par terre position.

The objective of the bout is to pin the opponent to the mat on her shoulders (fall) or to score more points for technical actions: throws, takedowns, holds, and activity.

GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING is a discipline of competitive wrestling in which holds below the waist and the use of the legs for attacking are prohibited. All actions are performed using only the arms and torso, placing emphasis on upper body strength, throwing technique, and work in the par terre position.

The objective of the bout is to pin the opponent to the mat on his shoulders or to score more points for active and effective actions: throws, takedowns, and holds.

FREESTYLE WRESTLING is a discipline of competitive wrestling in which holds on both the upper and lower parts of the opponent’s body are permitted. Unlike Greco-Roman wrestling, athletes may actively use their legs — performing trips, leg attacks, and leg holds.

The objective of the bout is to pin the opponent to the mat on his shoulders or to score more points for technical actions: throws, takedowns into the par terre position, holds, and pushing the opponent out of bounds.
