WRESTLING OLYMPIC 

The basic rules and procedures for entry and freestyle wrestling Greco - Roman are the same, as determined by the International Amateur Wrestling Federation (FILA), founded in 1921. The Olympic wrestling bouts have a single five - minute assault ends when a fighter gets a takedown, or if the end of the game combat a fighter has won more points than your opponent. Under current rules, if neither opponents get at least three points in five minutes of the assault, they must fight a period of three minutes maximum; if no wrestler has scored three points after the extra time, or if the fight is still tied, the judges determine the winner. The points are achieved by the different maneuvers (holds, reversals, escapes, assets), are the same in both styles of fighting.  

Wushu 

Wushu is very popular in Europe, but is practiced worldwide. The basic difference of this kind of struggle is that contestants must apply all dams above the waist and is forbidden to use the legs to score or defend. The fighters begin the fight they stood up and try to throw his opponent to the ground or use keys to get him down.
