What is wrestling claw?

The wrestling claw is a technique used in amateur wrestling where a wrestler grabs the back of the opponent's head with their hand and digs their fingers into their scalp. This move is used to control the opponent's head and neck, restricting their movement and making it easier for the wrestler to execute a takedown or other offensive moves. The claw is typically executed from behind the opponent, either as a standalone move or as part of a larger sequence of techniques. It can be used in both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling competitions. The wrestling claw is a legal move, but wrestlers are required to avoid gouging or scratching their opponent's skin or scalp.
