There are three different styles in wrestling.

1. Folkstyle
2. Freestyle
3. Greco Roman

While most US kids first learn folkstyle, the most popular styles internationally are freestyle and greco roman. Folkstyle is a mix between both freestyle and greco roman. There are a few different rules in all three with scoring and match progression.  We train in all three styles at PSWA. When we teach, we explain that most of all the techniques can be applied to each style of wrestling. The video below describes some of the differences between folkstyle and freestyle.
