Pin

A pin is the act of holding an opponent's shoulders or back down against the mat. In folkstyle and freestyle wrestling, pressing both shoulder blades to the mat for the brief required moment is called a fall and wins the match outright, regardless of the score to that point.

In judo the comparable action is the hold-down, or osaekomi: pinning the opponent's back to the mat and controlling them for a set number of seconds scores progressively, up to the maximum score of ippon. The difference matters — a wrestling pin is an instant finish, whereas a judo hold-down is a timed scoring action — so 'pin' should always be read in the context of its sport's rules.
