Greco Roman Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of Wrestling in the world. A lot of people have commented on the fact that certain rules in this video no longer applies. I had to cover all my bases, as the new version of the UWA wrestling rulebook (as of April) does have these rules. People all seem to think they know the rules, but when I check in the rulebook - it's not the case. Please be sure to share the video on Twitter, Reddit or anyway you can - your help is greatly appreciated! 😀
At 2:21 are suplexes permitted in Greco Roman wrestling like the seatbelt toss or a belly to side toss/suplex, or is that only allowed in freestyle wrestling
Ninh Ly oh and great video well informed, and easy to understand, your doing a great job, and really appreciate the time and effort you put into each video.
Hi Mike. Yes, anything above the waist is permitted, so gut wrenches, suplexes, belly to belly, side toss - all are legal because so long as you you don't grab below the waist. The grander the throw, the more you score.
good luck... are we talking Naga, ibjjf,goodfight,adcc, ebi, combat jiu jitsu also we talking white, blue purple, brown, black belt cause things change at each belt too.
I used to think that the starting position was always the par terre position and I thought it was so strange that both fighters weren't starting in a neutral position.
Great Video Nihn! I know that you've said in the past that you don't want to do certain sports because of certain reasons, but maybe you could do a mini series where you explain the rules of 3 separate sports in one video that are very similar to each other (like spikeball, 360 ball and wall ball; etc.) I know it would be a large undertaking seen as though you now have 3 channels but it is still something to think about.
Most people think of wrestlers as fit and muscular, but William Taft (yes, that one) was a wrestler when he was in college! Even then he was quite big (although not as big as he would be when he was president).
I need to brush up on my Street Fighter music; I had no idea this was Zangief's theme. (My personal favorite would be the Vega theme.) Still, helpful video as always; thank you.
Great vid as usual! But I believe you have missed some key elements that needs to a appear in a video explaining the rules of Greco Roman Wrestling: 1) Greco Roman Wrestling is a man exclusive fighting sport in competition. There is currently no women official format competion whatsoever for this sport, even if many freestyle women wrestlers do ask for it. 2) Like most of the fighting sports, Greco Roman Wrestling divides its competition between weight classes, and each single wrestler can only compete in it's own weight class. There is currently 10 weight classes in GR Wrestling: -Less then 55 kg -less than 60 kg -less than 63 kg -less than 67 kg -less than 72 kg -less than 77 kg -less than 82 kg -less than 87 kg -less than 97 kg -less than 130 kg I don't know if you update your videos or not, but if you do so, you might want to have these infos appear at some point in it... Nonetheless, keep up the good work. It's a real pleasure discovering or rediscovering sports with you!
Whilst you're correct - a complete beginner doesn't need to know each individual weight class. It also makes for some really boring script. And yes, Greco Roman is only contested by men ... I left it ambiguous just in case the rules change. Once a video is uploaded, it can't be modified without deleting it permanently and re uploading. Thanks.
@@NinhLyUK It's OK, I'm just giving you some pieces of advices (and not all advices are necessarily good) in the expectative it may inspire you for future videos. For instance, if someday you make a video on synchronized swimming, make sure to specify it's a woman only sport! Other example: if you make a video someday on equestrian make sure to specify thats all the disciplines are mixed in gender. I find it rather useful info in introduction for the sport in question! I'm the kind of guy who will always make kinds of remarks on anyway I can pick one. Do not get tickled about it, I don't don't do it for free criticism, but the more I get interested in a subject, the more I need to debate. Just see these "criticts" as a a compliment: your video really interested me. Concerning the weightclasses, surely it would be quite tedious to enumerate them when you present a martial art that uses these classes. But not as much tedious than all the Fouls and Offplay conditions and causes of penalty that exists in many team sports for which you did a video already. If I remember it well, you often relied of the implementation of a written list of those conditions during the video (the people who wanted to check them could then pause the video and read), and I really believe its a good a idea so not to break the pace of the vid. Maybe you could consider thinking about doing the same when it comes to weight classes for a potential future video done on a fighting sport? (Or maybe it's just a bad idea after all...).
Olimpic Wrestling,Greco-Roman and Free-Style,is known from olimpic committe and Fila referees.You know many fight style are there.But Olimpic wrestling is a show sport includes many good techniques if you have been watched on Tv or other options.
Nope. Wrong. Freestyle is mostly boring to watch, all they do is going for the legs, predictably. GR is much, much more fun and spectacular to watch, much more technical.
Guys should be without top clothes - like MMA wrestlers who are only in elastic shorts - it's much more attractive. Mutual muscle interactions in classical wrestling are interesting. It would be like an ancient painting of the ancient olympics.
Is there a point for lift? For example one wrestler lifts his opponent from the par terre position and throws him. So there’s points for the actual throw plus an extra point for the lift, correct?
Why? Think about how many MMA fights end by choke or submission. Ground fighting is very technical and shows a lot, as it happens with judo. As well solves obstructionism and passivity attitude.
@@NinhLyUKIt doesn't. As a judoka, almost inevitably, the contestant superior in ground fighting wins. And there passivity/obstructionsim ends. Ground fighting is technical and effective. How many MMA matches end by choke or submission?
In the UK - I don't think you can go back if you're over high school age. It's college or work. If you're still at the age whereby you can still go to high school, just contact different high schools round your area.
Can someone explain to me the part about losing a point if you break your hands during a clench? I came to this video after watching the Rulon Gardner vs Karelin match and based on the commentary it sounds like they awarded Gardner a point because Karelin's hands separated during a clench? I didn't see anything about that in this video
I still want to know what the whole Andrei Karelin & Rulon Gardner clinch huge was and why Gardner got a point to beat him. P.S. They have been running 2 3-minute periods... when did that change?
neither of them scored in the entirety of the bout, so in bonus time they started from a standing over-under position with hands locked. Karelin momentarily lost his grip while Gardner kept his, so the referee awarded Gardener a single point which he then won the contest by. it’s incredibly controversial because of the referees decision.
This channel has saved me from being ignorant many times
Cool, glad my videos help!
But you will always be ignorant about something

Ninh Ly no prob and thanks for your response, now I know what to look for when the summer Olympics come on TV.
"Get ready for the red cyclone!" Love how you sneak in street fighter themes into your videos plus this matches it well.
Well spotted - you're the only one who's noticed that this is Zangief's theme from SFV.
And thanks!
Hey thanks, and you did have Guile's theme in the rugby video.
I did indeed! :)
This is the comment I was looking for when I hear the Zangeif-like tunes. :)
I wanted to input a 720 spd
I personally love that the opponent can be given a point if the other is being a pacifist
So you can't shoot on your opponent?
No, because it involves grabbing the legs. It's illegal.
greco prohibits leg grabbing therefore floor divers are not welcome.
well you can shoot for a grab aound the waist, but not for a double leg or other leg attacks
@@MrFlamurl shooting invovles legs .. grabbing waist is body lock.. therefore no shooting allowed in greco
It's called a high dive
Really appreciated that remix of Street Fighter's Zangief theme. :)
I was thinking the same thing also 😂😂😂. Zangief is a wrestler also, so using his theme for this video makes sense.
Who is here after Mijain Lopez won his 5th gold medal?
0:15 Chad Gable (WWE)
I can believe that.
Video idea:Rules of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
Already on it bro.
Thanks
I didn’t expect him to respond. A lot of youtubers don’t, glad I found this channel. This dude seems good.
@@GhostRider-hy9zt it is
good luck... are we talking Naga, ibjjf,goodfight,adcc, ebi, combat jiu jitsu also we talking white, blue purple, brown, black belt cause things change at each belt too.
For some reason I can get Zangief out of my head whilst listening to this video. Would make a great Theme song
Haha, well spotted!

Leg Lace
Very informative and we’ll done! Thank you sir!
thaTS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
Cool thanks. Sorry for the wait, I'm editing furiously now!
Great job on this vid! All greco wrestlers look like the big villains on Double Dragon.
Thanks Dallas! I haven't played Double Dragon in years so I'll take your word for it!
Great vid 💪🏾❤️
Thank you very much!
Unfortunately the illustration of the point by escape from 1:25 to 1:33 is from a freestyle match.
Yeah, I couldn't find an escape from the Greco Roman footage I had.
The "escape point" segment is an example of Freestyle
I need to brush up on my Street Fighter music; I had no idea this was Zangief's theme. (My personal favorite would be the Vega theme.)
Still, helpful video as always; thank you.
Well spotted! And thanks!
Thats chad gable! He in wwe now i knew he was beast in wrestling
Yep!
I have always wondered the diffrences between freestyle and greco-roman. Wonderful video.
Glima next?
Thanks man, if I get enough demand, yeah.
Wait... Everyone’s asking about freestyle wrestling, but didn’t you already cover that with your collegiate wrestling video?? Just asking!!
No, Freestyle and collegiate (folkstyle) are contested slightly differently, particularly with the scoring.
Freestyle is coming up soon!
so complex, seems like a very tough sport
It's pretty cool once you get used to it.
Nice vid
Thanks again bro!
Nice ass
THAT'S WWE SUPERSTAR CHAD GABLE!!!
Do BJJ (ibjjf) and/or submission grappling (adcc)
For sure.

In "PAR TERRE" do they really have to arch their backs like that?

1:38 - Isn't a reversal worth 2 points??
1:27 Presumably this footage is from freestyle wrestling, not Greco-Roman/French style?
Olimpic Wrestling,Greco-Roman and Free-Style,is known from olimpic committe and Fila referees.You know many fight style are there.But Olimpic wrestling is a show sport includes many good techniques if you have been watched on Tv or other options.
Freestyle seems a lot more interesting cause the upper and lower body is in play.
I think that's why Freestyle was invented. Having said that, Greco-Roman can be quite interesting if you know what to look for.
From what I've watched, Greco-Roman has some of the most insane throws out there.
Greco uses less energy
Greco is a lot of fun to compete, I personally like it more than free/folk.
Nope. Wrong. Freestyle is mostly boring to watch, all they do is going for the legs, predictably. GR is much, much more fun and spectacular to watch, much more technical.

How come you can't use your legs or attack your opponent's legs in Greco Roman wrestling as opposed to freestyle wrestling?
If you allow legs grab all that happens is they're going for the legs, destroying the technical beauty of the classical wrestling.
Is it true that some wrestlers get strong while practicing the sport?
hey Ninh how do you do it in U.K? going back to highschool.
In the UK - I don't think you can go back if you're over high school age. It's college or work.
