Wrestling takes place on thick rubber mats usually during tournaments or meets. The ultimate goal for wrestlers is to pin their opponent during the match. However, this is not always possible so a point system was created. Wrestlers can earn points for takedowns, near falls, escapes, and reversals. A match is divided into three two minute periods, and the wrestler with the most points at the end wins.

Wrestling’s simplistic nature is conveyed in the few pieces of equipment required to participate in wrestling. Wrestlers wear a basic uniform or singlet during matches.
