There are 2 different Olympic styles of Wrestling. The first is Freestyle wrestling. The second is Greco-Roman wrestling. There is also Folkstyle wrestling, which is the style that American High Schools compete in. There is an altered version of folkstyle called College wrestling, which is the style that American colleges and universities compete in.
Freestyle involves moves used on and by both the upper and lower body, while Greco-Roman wrestling limits the wrestlers to only upper body moves, mainly throws.
