In wrestling "no holds barred" means that an wrestler can used any move or technique on his opponent without fear of penalty or disqualification. "No holds barred" matches are usually a form of extreme wrestling.
It comes from a wrestling term meaning that any type of wrestling move is legal in a no holds barred bout. Idiomatically, it means "to go all out," or "not to hold back anything."
No holds barred: Without restrictions or rules. Wrestling terminology for matches that followed no restriction.
Basically translates to "anything goes". In wrestling speak, it means that no movements (or holds) are considered off limits.
The holds here are wrestling holds and that's where the phrase originates. Wrestling has long been an Olympic sport, administrated by FILA, the sport's governing body. There are sets of rules for each of the various styles of wrestling. Prior to the formation of rules, wrestling was a free-form affair. There was no need to mention any such phrase as no holds barred, as that was taken for granted. It wasn't until after the sport became regulated that bouts where those rules didn't apply were billed as such.
