Wrestling

INTRODUCTION TO WRESTLING 

Wrestling is a sport that originated during ancient times and has held its position as one of the main activities of any famous sports event, or for that matter any event. It wouldn't be surprising to go to a sports meet and find a wrestling bout being readied for the occasion. Every mythology has its own version of wrestling, differing in their customary rules, but the essence being the same. Wrestling is actually the act of physical engagement of two people with the motive of overpowering the opponent and pinning him to the ground. Wrestling has its roots in different nations with its own uniqueness. For example, in Japan, wrestling is called sumo wrestling where giant, obese men fight it out. In India, it is called 'kusthi'. The variations in rules and style make it customary for them to have different wrestling gear.

Wrestling gear refers to the set of accessories used by a wrestler for wrestling. They include shoes, gloves, headgear like helmets, kneepads, uniforms, wrestling dummies, etc. Modern wrestling makes it mandatory for all wrestlers to be equipped properly before engaging in combat. This eliminates the risk or mortal wounds. There is a great amount of stress on the gear that the wrestler should wear. In accordance with this notion, there are various brands and varieties of wrestling gear available.
