In accordance with its Constitution, United World Wrestling recognises Beach Wrestling as an integrant part of Wrestling in all its styles, promotional and educational discipline practised around the world in view of promoting their cultural and social values and protecting this world heritage upon which all modern wrestling styles are based.
The Beach Wrestling committee was created by United World Wrestling to contribute to the structuring and promotion of Beach Wrestling in order to include the sport in all official multi-sport events.
Countless variations of traditional wrestling practiced on sand (referred to as “beach wrestling”) can be identified and they should all receive equal attention from the international community. However, common grounds had to be found in order to allow sportsmen from the different regions and countries to compete in official championships and games. The present rules offer a unified competition system that encompasses all major trends of beach wrestling and make the sport easy to understand by the spectators and media and easy to judge by the referees.
A dedicated Website was created for Beach Wrestling. You will find all the updates and information about that style by clicking on that link: https://www.beachwrestling.org/
