	Collegiate wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collegiate wrestling (sometimes known as folkstyle wrestling) is the commonly used name of wrestling practiced at the university level in the United States.
		A pin in folkstyle results from one wrestler's holding his opponent's shoulders to the mat for 2 seconds, while in freestyle a pin is scored by the opposing wrestler's back touching the mat.
		Also known as Scholastic wrestling, when practiced at the high school and junior high level, a few differences are seen from when practiced at the college and university level.

		Folkstyle rewards a wrestler for holding down an opponent or for escaping from under an opponent.
		Folkstyle fans should be able to adjust to the differences within a few minutes.
		Someday soon, what we know as folkstyle might be be laid to rest alongside Catch in the history books as RPW leads the charge to change the dominant style in the United States.

	Buzzsaw Wrestling Club Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The primary objective in folkstyle wrestling is to gain control of your opponent and to ultimately pin your opponent by holding your opponent with their back (both shoulder blades simultaneously) on the mat for a period of at least two seconds.
		The primary objective in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling is much the same as with folkstyle, except that other factors are taken into account such as the skill with which moves are executed, and the type of holds that is used.
		As with folkstyle wrestling, the match can be stopped short of the time limit if either wrestler scores a pin or achieves technical superiority, which in folkstyle and Greco-Roman wrestling is a lead of ten or more points.

	Stickgrappler's MMA page - Unofficial Underground forum archives - Folkstyle? Freestyle? Greco? page
		Since folkstyle is primarily concerned with the issue of dominance (who is controlling who) the bottom guy keeps fighting and scrambling to get off the bottom.
		)Folkstyle is probably the most realistic as a martial art because the wrestlers continue fighting for position and dominance when down on the mat.
		Meaning that they are guys that all had a background of wrestling for years in folkstyle, before moving on to international competition in greco or freestyle, once they are done with wrestling in high school/college.

	The Value of Off-Season Wrestling
		Folkstyle is the traditional US style practiced in schools and universities.
		Since these individuals mostly work outside the school environment and don't have the time to coach or work with local folkstyle teams, their only alternative is freestyle.
		Freestyle is close enough to Folkstyle that it can be learned sufficiently to participate in a couple of practices.

	2004 Club/FS/G-R - MN/USA Wrestling and NYWA consider folkstyle merger
		We believe that merging the NYWA with the MN/USA Folkstyle season is the ideal situation for both organizations and youth wrestling in Minnesota.
		In a look at last year's USA state folkstyle tournaments around the country, only Iowa had their state tournament in February and they don't have that strong of a USA folkstyle contingent.
		One of the main goals in merging the two organizations is to increase participation in freestyle and Greco tournaments after the state folkstyle tournament is done.

		Folkstyle is practiced only in the United states, and is most similar to freestyle wrestling, where use of the legs is an integral part of the sport.

		He clearly dominated freestyle 70's, yet I haven't seen much of him in folkstyle and he was a no show in Greco.
