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.
IN Greco-Roman, there are no allowed attacks by or to the legs. Freestyle allows it.
Russian wrestling, particularly styles like Sambo and Greco-Roman, often emphasizes grappling techniques, throws, and ground control, reflecting a strong focus on combat sports. In contrast, American wrestling, especially folkstyle, places a greater emphasis on mat control, riding, and scoring points through maneuvers such as escapes and reversals. The training culture also differs; Russian wrestlers often undergo rigorous, state-sponsored training, while American wrestlers may come from diverse backgrounds, including high school and collegiate programs. Additionally, American wrestling features more weight classes and styles, including freestyle and folkstyle, which are less prevalent in Russian wrestling.
