Nope. I am one hundred (100) percent sure it raises your stats. I've heard other people say the same as you, but maybe you should go try it. I have, and I'm Legendary Wrestling now... So...

I'm 100% sure it doesn't :p I know it doesn't train striking and swordsperson-ship, at the very least...

Also,

204. Large webs will get you killed, irrespective of your legendary dodging and shield-user skills.

205. Swimming at the top of a waterfall can lead to !FUN! if you happen to run into anything. Even otters.

Edit: In saying that unconscious foes don't train up your stats, I think wrestling may be an exception, because I think I remember getting that increased while I was strangling things...

This. If you're trying to cut an unconscious person, you are beyond my help. The thing about bladed weapons is they cause bleeding, even with just light wounds, and a bleeding unconscious person rapidly becomes a corpse. Try setting your 'shift+C' Combat setting to 'Close Combat', then walk into the unconscious bandit. You will be thrilled at the rapid rise of your skills.
Also, if they are disarmed (And their bones thoroughly broken), you can let them wake up, grab them, and just wait. You are now training dodging, armor user, and potentially shield user.

The other thing about bladed weapons is that you don't gain any experience for using them on an unconscious person. Same with wood weapons, blunt weapons, or your bare hands. I assume the experience you gain is based on how hard it was to connect and since it's always Simple to attack an unconcious person you can only train wrestling because it doesn't use the traditional difficulty modifiers.

206. If you are fighting and you chip one of your bones, you might as well quit.

That's what wildlife is for, man! You can even train up armor-user, if you have metal armour and you're fighting something that can't penetrate that, you could just happily sit there (more attacks for them!) and watch your stats and attributes rocket up!

At least until you realise that it's night-time, and the bogeymen come out for some !FUN!

Bastards.

Edit for 207. If you're training up ambush by holding down a direction key, make sure you don't run into a pack of wolves hiding a z-level down for you to charge into their midst. !FUN! ensues, quickly.

208. In dangerous areas of dungeons and catacombs, it may be wise to let a companion open the door for you, lest you run straight into some archers:
"You've been spotted!
You've been spotted!
The iron bolt hits you in the upper body, ripping apart the upper spine and severing the nerve!"

Let your lowly companions take that shot for you.
(It happened just now, I was lucky it was only bruised my gut and hurt my already useless left arm)

209. Carps may not be dangerous anymore, but they still swarm.

This, a carp and a milkfish decided to get into a epic battle with my companion. It was funny, until they started winning.

210: If it is getting late just after you slayed that dragon, don't try and walk back to town alone. Sleep in the lair with your now-dead companions and the corpse of the dragon. No bogies that way.

211: As cool as it sounds to carry around the severed heads of your most famous trophy kills, don't. One of these days you will walk into a tower or something and have 15 severed dragon/hydra/werebeast heads jump out of your bags and eat you.

212: The mummy is impervious to your pathetic attacks. Just RUN.

Oh lawd that made me laugh.

213: You've got the treasure, now just leave. No. No, leave. I don't care if you're Legendary +5 everything, there are too many skeletons. No. Just leave! Don't... okay now do you see what happens when you get cocky?

[Xantalos]

214: Requesting Armok to make dragons bogeymen "for a challenge" is NOT a GOOD IDEA.

[GreatWyrmGold]

215. Hell, requesting Armok to make BOGEYMEN bogeymen is a real challenge. You know why to fear the ngiht, indeed...

Hey, how else am I supposed to get a second (and third, and fourth, etc) chance to cut off a wererhino´s horn when the guy´s head was chopped clean off, EH?
And do you know how many re-animations it takes to get all the dragon´s teeth? WELL DO YA?

About 15. Legendary+2 ambusher helps.

216. If you die at a necromancer's tower with a demigod, NEVER go back there.
217. Attempting to retake a tower with not 1 but 8(!!!) previous demigod adventurers dead there is suicide without being a vampire.
