Wrestling is probably the best sport for overall physical development because it involves all the muscle groups.
During training a wrestler works on constantly improving their strength, flexibility, stamina, balance, speed and technique.
What wrestlers learn on the mat is transferable to real life experiences. Wrestlers are self reliant, mentally and physically fit, self disciplined, competitive and responsible.

In freestyle wrestling, a team of three referees is used. The referee controls the action in the center, blowing the whistle to start and stop the action. The judge sits at the side of the mat. The mat chairman sits at the scoring table and keeps time. To award points, assess penalties, or call a pin, two of the three officials must agree.
