Wrestling is a full-contact grappling sport based on holds, throws, takedowns and controlled groundwork. It is typically practised on padded mats and includes a range of recognised styles, with structured rules designed to ensure fair and safe competition. Sessions may involve technical drills, conditioning work and controlled sparring.
ActivitySure can cover wrestling on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad. This includes organised training sessions and amateur competitions entered recreationally. It does not apply to professional bouts, paid participation or exhibition wrestling. Although wrestling is structured and supervised, the close physical contact and repeated impact with the mat mean injuries can still occur.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for wrestling?
Wrestling has strong traditions in several countries. Japan and the USA are known for established training programmes and competitive amateur circuits, while Turkey has a long-standing cultural history in the sport. Georgia is also recognised for its wrestling heritage. In addition to formal competition, training camps and short-term coaching programmes abroad attract recreational wrestlers looking to develop technique and conditioning.
Here's why wrestling travel insurance matters:
Wrestling involves sustained physical contact, joint control and impact with the mat. Common injuries include sprains, strains and shoulder, knee or neck issues. If you are injured while training or competing abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required. Having appropriate travel insurance in place can help protect you financially if something goes wrong during your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and rules set by coaches, referees or organisers
- Wear appropriate safety equipment such as protective headgear if required.
- Practise breakfalls on mats to develop safe landing technique.
- Avoid forcing joint locks or holds beyond comfortable rangeTap out early and communicate clearly if you feel pain or discomfort.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, ActivitySure can cover wrestling, but it needs to be added to your policy. Organised training and amateur competition are treated as separate activities, so you’ll need to choose the one that matches what you’ll be doing. It’s important to choose the right activity, as claims will only be considered for the ones listed on your Policy Certificate.
Yes. Wrestling training is not the same as taking part in an amateur competition. If your trip includes both, select the activity that reflects the highest level of participation.
If the correct wrestling activity is shown on your policy, you can be covered for emergency medical expenses if you’re injured while taking part. You must follow the coach’s or organiser’s instructions, wear any required safety equipment, and take reasonable care to minimise the risk of injury.
No. Wrestling cover is for organised training or amateur competition only. Paid appearances, professional bouts, or contracted competitive participation would fall outside this cover.
