Wrestling holds include a number of moves used by competitors to immobilize their opponents or lead to a submission. Also known as stretches (or submission holds), these techniques are employed to weaken an opponent or to force him or her to submit, either vocally or by tapping out: slapping the mat, floor, or opponent with a free hand three times. Moves are listed under general categories whenever possible. Chokes, although not in general stress positions like the other stretches, are usually grouped with stretches as they serve the same tactical purposes.

  • Wrestling holds include a number of moves used by competitors to immobilize their opponents or lead to a submission. Also known as stretches (or submission holds), these techniques are employed to weaken an opponent or to force him or her to submit, either vocally or by tapping out: slapping the mat, floor, or opponent with a free hand three times. Moves are listed under general categories whenever possible. Chokes, although not in general stress positions like the other stretches, are usually grouped with stretches as they serve the same tactical purposes. In public performance, for safety's sake, stretches are usually not performed to the point where the opponent must submit or risk injury. Likewise, chokes are usually not applied to the point where they cut off the oxygen supply to the opponent's brain. A notable exception is Japanese shoot-style wrestling, in which wrestlers are expected to apply legit submissions to end matches. While some stretches rely entirely on the acting ability of the opponent to sell them as painful or debilitating, many are legitimately effective when fully applied. They should not be attempted without proper training and supervision, as there is significant risk of serious injury.
