In all styles of amateur wrestling, Folk, Free and Greco-Roman, the visually impaired/handicapped wrestler always start the match in the neutral position (on their feet). Facing their opponent, the wrestler extends his hands, one palm up and the other palm down. His opponent extends his hands in a similar manner so contact is made with the palm side of the fingers not extending beyond the opponent's knuckles. This is known as the "finger-touch" start method. Initial contact is made from the front and contact is maintained throughout the match. If the wrestlers break contact, the match is stopped and both wrestlers start over with the finger touch method.
