Postby JeffGentry » Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:19 am

This link was posted on the Schola Gladatoia Forum, it is a short documetary on cornish wrestling, it has a cornish wrestler wrestling a Judoka, i thought it kind of interesting, look's like alot of what we see in the manual's.

Having trouble with playing the video. It's either all choppy or just won't dl properly. Really interested in seeing it though.

Jeff

Did you mean the judoka to be the man who won the heavyweight title and had the judo background? I liked the video, but I was hoping they would've showed a cornish wrestler wrestling a judoka in a dojo or something like that.

Sorry had to rewatch it, it's been awhile, the current champion is a former Judo practioner, the challenger was the former cornish wrestling champion.
