Description

Traditional Cornish wrestling originated in the county of Cornwall, situated in the southwestern region of England. Empirical evidence indicates that it has existed since at least the fifth century. Cornish wrestling participants don a specialized outer garment called a "guernsey" or "jacket," which they grasp in an attempt to hurl their adversary. The aim is to dispose of the opponent by throwing them to the ground, wherein points are allocated for a range of accurate throws. In contrast to some other styles of wrestling, Cornish wrestling emphasizes flinging techniques rather than ground grappling. Cornish wrestling continues to be practiced as a cultural activity and a competitive sport, honoring its long history in the county. The activity is characterized by a distinct set of regulations and traditions, and competitions are conducted intermittently not only in Cornwall but also elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Although not as prevalent or actively pursued as other martial arts, this particular art form in Cornwall possesses noteworthy cultural and historical significance.
