It's the form that was taught at my high-school gym class sophomore year, although I get the feeling that my high school wasn't the only school to teach it. A bit of reading around shows that, as you say, Greco-Roman doesn't allow shooting for the legs. Strange omission in the syllabus, that. Maybe freestyle and folkstyle are better.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-40883316087357195822019-12-15T11:12:34.701+09:002019-12-15T11:12:34.701+09:00Hey Kevin, why Greco-Roman?

With both of those systems you spend a lot of time on the ground. Roman Greco is mostly from neutral and focuses on controlling the upper body for big throws. To be honest, I only tried it a few times, but if memory serves, I could not go after the legs at all.<br /><br />-RossRoss LeComptenoreply@blogger.com
