    Wrestling originated in 708 BC when the first Olympic wrestling occurred. It originated from Rome and spread throughout the world including India, China and throughout the Middle East.

    Previously it was a very violent and punishing sport as it had close acquaintance with the military school. It is a form of self-defense which had been common in many cultures. It was later modified as a style of warfare. Wrestling was a vital part of the military training of the Egyptians, Greeks, Mongols and the various military powers of their times. It is said that the ancient Egyptians conducted tournaments almost 3000 years ago. Due to a great deal of cultural interaction, people exchanged ideas and developed new techniques of style in the process.
