    Dude I am glad to have this. I was saying I was doing grecco roman for years because all I remembered was it wasn't freestyle because I couldn't grab for the ankles etc. No-one told me I was folkstyle wrestler lol. Now I know and now I won't be looking like a moron saying that I was a grecco roman wrestler and then talking about how much I love double leg takedowns.

      @@briansucks8885 If he has double leg takedowns then he is absolutely NOT Greco-Roman. In Greco-Roman wrestling, you can't use any sort of move or attack on the legs at all. Strictly upper body, which is why they use throws like the Suplex, although I believe they call it a Suple or Supley, something like that. So yeah, he's definitely not Greco-Roman if he's hitting double legs

      Also the exposure, you only have to break 90, it’s instant 2 since you don’t have to hold them there, you don’t have to change grip to be awarded points, also there’s no locking hands and no rules on slams, and a push out is 1 point

    When I did Freestyle I learned more ways to take an opponent down which some of them can become very intimidating and sometimes you need to know folkstyle before you learn it. Like most of freestyle has the same moves that folkstyle has but the moves are more extreme. So like a folkstyle double leg is driving them to the Mat but in freestyle your Double leg can mostly make them fly to the mat! Like I’ve seen people during practice in folkstyle take a move and do it correctly but accidentally doing in freestyle.
    Story time: back when I was doing folkstyle wrestling the coach taught us how to twist someone onto the mat while standing. One of the Students did it right but instead of pulling them down they used so much force that they threw them back over their shoulder like if they were a barrel! They asked the coach if they did it right but the coach replied “you did it correctly but not for folkstyle” I also accidentally did an extreme move. When I was doing a double leg I accidentally thrusted a student so hard they they went diagonal up like maybe around 110° angle like a little obtuse slightly upwards into the air before being dumped downwards. Which in that moment I didn’t realize he was lifted 3ft off the ground until I looked at him while he was on the ground. Everyone looked at me and said “how’d you do that?” Because in wrestling, Just like Judo you don’t notice the move because your using leverage so it’s not hard when you do it correctly. But from being lifted from your opponent you don’t have control and you get taken down pretty fast. Just like a rollercoaster loop you don’t even notice you’ve been lifted off the ground during a takedown. The takedowns aren’t the things that hurt… it’s what’s after that hurts… you being in a cradle!
    That’s why I said they have the same moves but one is just more extreme.

    In freestyle if you get 2 points for exposure and then immediately get a takedown you get 2. But if you get a takedown then expose them to their back you get 4 [2 TD and 2 back].... how does that make sense?
