Wrestling (DX/Average) is a combat skill that represents training at grappling and pinning.

Techniques and Cool Moves

• Arm Lock
• Body Slam?
• Choke Hold
• Ground Fighting (applies to any unarmed or melee weapon skill) — very useful
• Drop Kick (added in GURPS Martial Arts)
• Fast-Draw Opponent’s Weapon added in GURPS Gun Fu
• Suplexes require a sacrifice throw, usually using a special Skill Adaptation towards or a variation thereof

Parrying with Two Hands

• Since they take 2 hands, this would prevent 1-armed beings from using wrestling to parry with
• A decent house rule is to use the -2 to skill when attempting 2-handed tasks 1-handed. That would be -1 to parry for this
