Basic Wrestling Rules

Video Transcript

Now I'm going to explain the circles that you see on a mat when you go to a wrestling mat. You're going to see a circle, one inside of another circle. The middle circle, that's where you want to kind of generally stay towards, you're going to try to stay over there. The outside circle, anything outside of there is out of bounds. And the little square in the middle, that is where you're setting up at. So, that's how that works, and the point system. It's actually, you get two points for taking somebody down, you get two points for a reversal, if you're on bottom, and you escape, and you turn and you come into neutral, that's one point. If you get somebody on their back, but they're not completely pinned, they will do a count, like, one, two, three, four, five. You're going to get up to three back points. So that's how the points work. And, you can get, there are two ways to win a wrestling match. You can either get tech fault, actually, there's three ways, you can get tech fault, you can win on points, or you can get pinned. And pin is when both shoulders touch the mat. So that's a pin. And, not at any time, in folk style wrestling when both shoulders touch the mat, and the person in control, for a little bit like, boom, you're pinned. Like you can roll across your back and touch both shoulders but your not going to be pinned as long as you're staying in control. So that's the point system right there, and we'll take it from there.
