Stuff regarding who I am
I am an avid Dwarf Fortress fan who enjoys science-ing some aspects of the game.
Training
Unless otherwise specified, training occurs using unarmored humanoids in the arena.
Training the wrestler skill
Doing so will raise Fighter at the same rate.
Training wrestling is very, very strange.
Wrestling can be trained from nothing to novice by grabbing and releasing a body part of an unconscious unit ~70 times.
Interestingly, 12 failed attempts to attack somebody with wrestling increases one's skill to half of novice (~20 experience per attempt), while simply grabbing and then moving away to release does nothing.
In an unrelated adventure mode incident, I snuck up behind a rhinoceros, grabbed its tongue, and attempted to pinch it off, raising my wrestler skill to proficient after many, many failed attempts. Oddly enough, the rhinoceros seemed okay with my actions, keeping the conflict level to "Brawl" and never turning around to look at me. At any rate, the gap between skilled and proficient took about 300 failed attempts at pinching the poor animal's tongue off (which took only a few minutes, since typing Aab<enter><down><enter> doesn't take very long), indicative of an experience gain of 3 points per unsuccessful attempt at past-grabbing wrestling damage.
Training weapons skills
Don't have anything, yet. The Wrestling stuff should be enough to chew on for a while.
