Without getting into the nuances of each style, understand that each wrestling style has their own rules which dictate how you can and cannot wrestle, the length of the match, the number of periods per match, and how points are scored. Folkstyle is the most common wrestling style in the United States. It's also the style high school and collegiate wrestlers compete in the United States. Freestyle and Greco Roman are each their own style and are more common in all other parts of the world. Olympic wrestlers compete in these two styles. There are a number of good websites you can find with a internet search if you want to know more specifics on each wrestling style.
