Hand - to - hand ___MASK47___ ( sometimes abbreviated as HTH or H2H ) is a lethal or non - lethal physical confrontation between two or more persons at very short ___MASK35___ ( grappling distance ) that does not involve the use of firearms or other distance weapons . While the phrase " hand - to - hand " appears to refer to " unarmed " ___MASK47___ , the term is generic and may include use of striking weapons used at grappling distance such as knives , sticks , batons , or improvised weapons such as entrenching tools . While the term hand - to - hand ___MASK47___ originally referred principally to engagements by combatants on the battlefield , it can also refer to any personal physical engagement by two or more people , including law enforcement officers , civilians , and criminals . A ___MASK47___ ___MASK82___ , or fighting ___MASK82___ , is a competitive contact ___MASK82___ with one - on - one ___MASK47___ .

It was contested at the first modern ___MASK80___ in 1896 and has been included in every edition of the summer Olympics held since 1908 . Two wrestlers are scored for their performance in two three - minute periods , which can be terminated early by a pin ( or fall ) . This style of ___MASK66___ forbids holds below the waist ; this is the major difference from freestyle ___MASK66___ , the other form of ___MASK66___ at the Olympics . This restriction results in an emphasis on throws because a wrestler can not use trips to take an opponent to the ground , or avoid throws by hooking or grabbing the opponent ' s leg . Arm drags , bear hugs , and headlocks , which can be found in Freestyle , have even greater prominence in Greco - Roman . In particular , a throw known as a suplex is used , in which the offensive wrestler lifts his opponent in a high arch while falling backward on his own neck to a bridge in order to bring his opponent ' s shoulders down to the ___MASK33___ . Even on the ___MASK33___ , a Greco - Roman wrestler must still find several ways to turn his opponent ' s shoulders to the ___MASK33___ for a fall without legs , including ( but not limited to ) techniques known as the bodylock and the gut - wrench . According to United World Wrestling ( UWW ; formerly known as the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles , or FILA ) , Greco - Roman ___MASK66___ is one of the six main forms of amateur competitive ___MASK66___ practised internationally today .

American high school and college ___MASK66___ is conducted under different rules and is termed scholastic and collegiate ___MASK66___ . Freestyle ___MASK66___ , like collegiate ___MASK66___ , has its greatest origins in catch - as - catch - can ___MASK66___ and , in both styles , the ultimate goal is to throw and pin your opponent to the mat , which results in an immediate win . Freestyle and collegiate ___MASK66___ , unlike Greco - Roman , allow the use of the wrestler ' s or his opponent ' s legs in offense and defense .

There are two " international wrestling styles " performed in the Olympic Games under the supervision of United World Wrestling ( UWW ; formerly known as FILA , from the French acronym for International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles ): Greco - Roman and freestyle . Freestyle is possibly derived from the English Lancashire style . A similar style , commonly called collegiate ( also known as scholastic or folkstyle ), is practiced in colleges and universities , secondary schools , middle schools , and among younger age groups in the United States . Where the style is not specified , this article refers to the international styles of competition on a mat .

Collegiate ___MASK66___ , sometimes known in the United States as folkstyle ___MASK66___ , is a style of ___MASK85___ practiced at the college and university level in the United States .
