It is generally categorized as a modern martial art, which subsequently evolved into the sport of combat and Olympic sport. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, the objective of which is either to throw or bring the opponent to the ground, immobilize him, or force him to give up using joint wrenches and strangulations.
