The bout has been shortened, but constant aggressive activity is required, or the passive wrestler is penalized.
Of the two styles of international wrestling, freestyle is by far the more popular in the United States, because it more closely resembles the folkstyle practiced in our scholastic and collegiate programs. Another international style, sombo, has not yet been accepted as an Olympic sport, although world championships have been conducted for several years.
Sombo, like judo, now is recognized as an entirely separate sport rather than as a form of wrestling. He also may use his own legs to attack, as with trips and some types of scissors holds. The legs also may be used by the defensive wrestler to counter-attack or to block certain lifts. Such use of the legs also is an integral part of American folkstyle wrestling.
The Greco-Roman style, on the contrary, forbids all use of the legs in attack or defense. Points are scored for takedowns 1 point , reversals 1 , and near falls 2. If both shoulders are held to the mat for one-half second, it is a fall and the bout is over. If, from a standing position, a wrestler throws his opponent directly into a near fall, the action is worth 3 points. If such a maneuver is performed with a spectacular, high-arching throw, it is awarded 5 points.
Holding the opponent in a danger position for a five-second count earns an additional point. Except for the ban on use of the legs by either wrestler, the rules for freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling are identical.
But that limitation brings great differences in philosophy and style. The rules for collegiate and scholastic wrestling in the United States vary sharply from those of international freestyle, placing emphasis on control of the opponent rather than on physical dominance. A fall must be held for one second collegiate or two seconds scholastic. Requirements for near fall points are much more demanding. Points are awarded for takedowns and reversals, but rather than award bonus points for spectacular throws, they are prohibited.
Escaping from an opponent is a scoring maneuver, and merely controlling him can earn a point for time advantage. As in international wrestling, the folkstyle rules strictly forbid brutality and emphasize the physical safety of the wrestlers.
The evolution of the sport of wrestling is a continuing process. Neither style of wrestling had a scoring system through the first four decades of the Twentieth Century. Art Griffith, the second great collegiate coach at Oklahoma State, developed a points system that finally gained acceptance in A year later, collegiate wrestling moved out of its raised, roped boxing ring and onto open mats laid flat on the floor of a gymnasium.
These were the two most significant rules changes of the century, although a host of minor revisions would follow. For nearly two more decades, until the Olympic Games, international wrestling was scored in secret by three judges, who signaled their decisions by raising colored paddles at the end of the bout. Albert de Ferrari, a San Francisco dentist who rose to the rank of vice president of the international federation, led the fight for a visible scoring system.
As with American folkstyle, the international rules-makers also seem infected by a desire to tinker with the rules, often guided by what would provide the greatest advantage for their own countries.
