What Is The Definition Of Par Terre In Wrestling?
1. In wrestling, the par terre position is when an athlete is placed in a defensive position, with their hands and knees on the mat. Their opponent is then placed in the offensive position kneeling beside them and with their hands on the bottom athlete’s back.
The par terre is more commonly used in Greco-Roman wrestling as opposed to freestyle, but the referee may still order wrestlers into this position if they feel they are not aggressive enough in the match.
