Cornish wrestling

Cornish Wrestling is a special way of fighting that started a long time ago in a place called Cornwall, which is in England. It is a type of wrestling where two people, called wrestlers, try to throw each other on the ground. The goal is to make your opponent touch the ground with any part of their body except their feet. The wrestler who manages to do this wins the match.

To play Cornish Wrestling, you must wear special clothing called a jacket and shorts. The jacket is made of a thick and strong material like denim or canvas, and it has a long strip of fabric called a 'grip'. The grip is used by the wrestlers to hold onto each other and try to throw the other person to the ground. The shorts are also made of a special material that is strong and flexible, so the wrestlers can move around easily.

To start the match, the wrestlers stand facing each other in a ring. They put their hands on their opponent's shoulders and take turns trying to throw each other onto the ground. The first wrestler to touch the ground with any part of their body except their feet loses the match.

Cornish Wrestling is very popular in Cornwall, and there are many competitions and tournaments held throughout the year. People who like to watch Cornish Wrestling enjoy the excitement of two strong and skilled wrestlers trying to throw each other to the ground. And the wrestlers who compete in Cornish Wrestling love the challenge of trying to outsmart and overpower their opponent to win the match.
