Cornish wrestling

Cornish wrestling (Cornish: Omdowl Kernewek) is a form of wrestling which has been established in Cornwall, a county in Southwest England for several centuries. It is similar to the Breton Gouren wrestling style. The referee is known as a 'stickler', and it is claimed that the popular meaning of the word as a 'pedant' originates from this usage.

The Cornish Wrestling Association was formed in 1923 to standardize the rules and to promote Cornish Wrestling throughout Cornwall and indeed Worldwide.
