3. Free Wrestling
In free wrestling there are three more parts:
• Light-contact: You can’t hit the opponent. You can only touch him to take the point.
• Semi-contact: All kicks and hits are allowed except for the straight to the face ones.
• Full-contact: You can hit your opponent everywhere and you can take him down
with locking and choking techniques.
*It’s important to point out that hits below the belt and poking in the eyes with fingers
are not acceptable !
