Wrestler
Source Player Core 2 pg. 222Wrestlers are athletes who pit their strength and skill against powerful foes. Specializing in a variety of grabs, holds, and strikes, wrestlers are dangerous opponents whose techniques can leave a foe broken and defeated without taking their life. Though it appears brutal, wrestling is considered a respectable and innocuous art.
The wrestling tradition is common all over Golarion. Gladiators and other warriors who fight for entertainment use wrestling techniques in combat. The discipline's focus on grappling is also useful in non-gladiatorial matches, as many foes are unable to contend with an opponent's hold. Grappling is particularly effective against spellcasters, who have a difficult time completing the gestures for their spells while grabbed. However, with the right technique, a seasoned wrestler can hold down just about any foe standing in their way. Such wrestlers are feared by their foes and respected by their allies.
Wrestlers have storied traditions in the Hold of Belkzen, where orcs employ specialized grappling techniques to subdue the large animals they ride as mounts. Orcs prefer wrestling these creatures partially to minimize harm to them, but also because they believe that the process of subduing them in this manner creates a stronger bond between mount and rider.
Outside of the Inner Sea, wrestlers are common in Iblydos and Arcadia. Iblydan wrestlers focus on powerful grappling techniques to make sure theyfre never left without a means to fight on the battlefield, even if their weapons are destroyed. Arcadian wrestlers engage in matches designed to retell stories of ancient gods and their past battles. These matches prominently feature impressive acrobatic feats as well as highly technical grappling maneuvers.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Monk Source Player Core 2 pg. 127Archetype WrestlerPrerequisites Crushing Grab;
Whirling ThrowRequirements You have a creature
grabbed or
restrained.
You have mastered an ultimate grappling technique capable of breaking even the mightiest of foes. You hurl the creature 20 feet into the air, following behind it with a powerful jump, and then make an unarmed Strike. If the Strike is successful, you can repeat this process up to two more times, moving the creature an additional 20 feet directly up into the air with each Strike; the creature keeps the grabbed or restrained condition throughout the sequence. If you miss with any of the Strikes, Godbreaker and the grabbed or restrained condition immediately end and both you and the opponent fall, taking
falling damage as normal for the total height of your jump.
If all three Strikes are successful, you immediately grab the creature and bring it crashing to the ground, dealing your unarmed Strike damage plus falling damage to it. You land on your feet adjacent to the creature, you take no damage from the fall, and the creature remains grabbed or restrained by you.
