Gravity, Leverage, and Torque
Wrestling is a sport in which you need a
strong offense and a stable defense to be
successful at.
- For wrestling you need a low
center of gravity.
- Having a low center of gravity
ensures stability and makes it harder for
opponents to take you down.

- Torque is the tendency of a
force to rotate an object about an axis.
- Torque is needed in order for a
wrestler to take down an opponent because they
must attack at an angle to get them off balance.
- Leverage ties into both, the
lower you are in wrestling the better position
you are in and the higher you lift one of your
opponents legs the greater torque you create.
