English Wrestling

English wrestling

Picture
The British martial sources we teach at T.A.S. assume wrestling competence. It's not until the early 1700s that we get historical wrestling manuals solely focused on wrestling and/or boxing.
We teach English wrestling based on several works :
Grips from George Silver (1599), wrestling from Zachery Wylde (1711) and The Inn-Play or Cornish Hug Wrestling from Sir Thomas Parkyns (1713).
We mostly teach wrestling as an adjunct to weapons.
