Wrestling- Wrestling is a sport in which one contestant competes with another using various holds and techniques in an attempt to force the shoulders of the opponent against a mat, thus scoring a fall and winning the match. If a wrestler cannot score a fall within the time limit, a winner is determined based on a point-scoring system. All wrestling matches are supervised by officials, who impartially enforce the rules of the sport.
Two basic styles of amateur wrestling are generally employed around the world: freestyle and Greco-Roman. Other forms of wrestling are common within different cultures. Amateur wrestling is highly popular in the United States in colleges and universities, secondary schools, and athletic clubs. In addition to national championship matches, thousands of regional and local tournaments are held each year. Exhibition wrestling is also popular in the United States, although this professional type of wrestling is viewed as an entertainment spectacle rather than a sport.

Judo- Judo was developed in the 19th century from a number of jujitsu methods. Initially it was separated into two distinct practices, one for self-defense and one for physical conditioning. These days, judo is practiced mainly as a sport, which has competitions and tournaments worldwide. The main techniques of this art are throwing and grappling. Judo fighters spend much of their training in learning how to fall safely when they are thrown, to minimize their risk of injury.

BJJ- "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is primarily a ground-fighting art. Most techniques involve both fighters on the mat. There is a heavy emphasis on positional strategy, which is about which fighter is on top, and where each person's legs are. Positions are stable situations, from which a large variety of techniques are available to both fighters."
"Today, Sport jiu-jitsu is one of the fastest forms of martial arts in the world. Resembling Judo, opponents wear a kimono when they train and compete. The style of sport Jiu-Jitsu is more diverse then Judo were opponents are more restricted to what can be done on the mat. When fighting in sport Jiu-Jitsu, a fighter can fight from any position he chooses for the length of the match. Because of these rules, sport jiu-jitsu contains submissions and techniques from virtually every position imaginable. Sport Jiu-Jitsu was one of the earliest forms of Jiu-jitsu seen in Brazil. Often referred to as "Gracie Jiu-jitsu", its eclectic style has influenced virtually martial art on the planet. All of the techniques of Sport Jiu-jitsu use the kimono when doing submissions or other techniques. It is important to understand the difference between the different styles of Brazilian fighting when first starting. Sport Jiu-jitsu training is not designed for street self-defense. Most large Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools offer different classes. One for Vale-Tudo and one for Sport Jiu-Jitsu. In Brazil, the tradition for learning Jiu-Jitsu was to train in both styles. Most of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters are very proficient in both styles, street or sport. The largest and most prestigious sport Jiu-jitsu tournament in the world is the Mundial World Championships held once a year in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil."
