The Japanese model of modern wrestling is known as Puroresu, which is a style of professional wrestling that originated in Japan. Puroresu combines elements of traditional Japanese wrestling styles such as sumo and jujutsu with influences from American professional wrestling. Puroresu is characterized by a strong emphasis on athleticism, technical skill, and storytelling in the ring. Some of the most popular promotions in Japan that showcase Puroresu include New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), and Pro Wrestling Noah.
