Wrestling is older than some writings. Cave paintings of wrestlers have been found that are more than 15,000 years old — and that is fact number one out of 444.

From ancient Greek pankration to Mongolian bökh, from Turkish oil wrestling to the acrobatics of lucha libre, this is the sport at its strangest, oldest, and most impressive. Written by a board-certified family physician for kids who would rather learn something than sit still, every chapter ends with a quiz, an answer key, and a joke that will make an adult groan.
