The Greek boys were taught wrestling at school. Ancient wrestling is not like wrestling today. They would be taught in the Palaestra. A Palaestra is a large public place where you can train.
It was because there was a lot of war around greece.They would be trained to self defend themselves and kill other people other than greek people. Boys in greece would learn how to flip and take down any people. They got taken over by the romans.
