Ambos estilos de lucha (grecorromana y libre) se diferencian principalmente por el uso de las piernas. En lucha grecorromana los contendientes deben aplicar todas las presas y agarres por encima de la cintura, no permitiéndose el uso de las piernas para puntuar o defenderse. Por el contrario, en el estilo de libre olímpica las piernas son un elemento más de ataque y defensa.
