Wrestling/Grappling

What muscle groups should be trained the most for roughing/tackling/pushing people/swinging people/grappling/wrestling ?

im pretty sure the back is important, but what about everything under the torso?
 
I would think the legs are really important because you have to push someone with them. Your shoulders and chest will be important so you can push them away or throw them to the side. My .02 $
 
Every muscle group is used and is therefore is of importance. Any inequality you have in particular areas may be exploited by your opponent.
 
Something thats very MA (and many other sports too) specific is rotational strenght. you need to be able to rotate to toss people around.
