Fight Styles

Even though all wrestler characters must learn professional wrestling to join The SWS, not all of them come from the same background. Every martial art or discipline learned by the wrestler will influence their fighting style, and thus their performance, gimmick and role.

Here's a list of all current SWS fighting styles:

• Pro-Wrestling: A mix of grappling combat and showmanship skills. Trained as high performance athletes, pro-wrestlers bend their technical knowledge with their power and charisma to create a celebrity-like character of themselves. Pro wrestling focuses on entertainment; characters, narrative, production value, sex appeal, etc.

• Lucha Libre: Born from Greco-Roman wrestling mixed with Mexican culture, later incorporating performing arts stunts and acrobatics. It involves technical, competitive and showmanship skills. Luchadores (wrestlers) are commonly seen as real-life superheroes. Lucha libre focuses on technical skill, gimmicks and crowd-play (audience interaction).

• Olympic Wrestling: A combat competition where wrestlers get points by applying grapples, throws or locks. A regulated type of combat where quick thinking and technical knowledge are just as important as power. An Olympic wrestler's training usually focuses on cardio vascular conditioning, explosive strength, endurance, balance and flexibility.
