Wrestling is a very complicated and demanding sports activity of high intensity in which movements are performed in variable conditions symmetrically around all axes and planes, and in all directions. However, the wrestling training practice so far is such, that learning and improving the wrestling techniques in most cases is conducted on one side, which is severely criticized nowadays by trainers in practice and scientific workers. The basic aim of this research is to establish the relations between the symmetrical and asymmetrical method of learning and improving the wrestling techniques, and the success in wrestling. The research is conducted on a sample of 115 beginner wrestlers aged 19 to 21, divided in experimental and control group. The experimental group was subjected to the training program of learning and improving the wrestling techniques on both sides symmetrically, whereas the control group conducted the traditional training program of learning and improving the wrestling techniques on the dominant side only symmetrically. After the conducted program lasting for 48 hours, the differences between experimental and control group groups in the area of the selected situational parameters in a wrestling fight are determined. The research results clearly show that planned and programmed training process of symmetrically conducted training resulted in statistically higher success rate in beginners group of wrestlers. The beginner wrestlers that conducted the training program symmetrically, obtained statistically higher results in all situation variables used in this research. On the basis of this research results, the application of symmetrical learning and improving the wrestling techniques in the process of training from the beginning of practice i.e. from the first inclusion in the training process is recommended.
