Description: Features the history, origins, styles and photos regarding this unique wrestling sport. Article by Colin Roberts in the Journal of Western Martial Art.
Cornish Wrestling, or "wrasslin" as we call it, is an ancient form of one-on-one combat, similar in style to many other forms of Celtic wrestling. It certainly has no similarity with the wrestling seen on TV where entertainment rather than competitiveness is the aim. Similar to Judo, and unlike most other Celtic styles, a jacket is used which enables opponents to gain a hold of each other. An important feature of this style, apart from the short canvass jacket [slide 1], is that there is no groundwork (wrestling whilst on the ground) whatsoever.
