Overview

"Traditional Canary wrestling, alternatively referred to as Lucha Canaria, has its inception in the autonomous community of Spain known as the Canary Islands, situated in close proximity to the northwestern coast of Africa. Historical antecedents of the region include the Guanche people, who were the indigenous inhabitants of the islands at the time of Spanish colonization. The practice of Lucha Canaria, a renowned sport in the Canary Islands, is regulated by federations and organized competitions. The sport is distinguished by its prioritization of strategy, agility, and technique over brute force. ""Calz�n"" refers to specialized apparel worn by wrestlers, also known as luchadores. It consists of clingy shorts and a sash fastened around the midsection. Without employing throws or falls, the objective of Canarian wrestling is to bring an opponent to the ground using any body part other than the feet. In contrast, wrestlers employ a variety of strategies, including holds, clutches, and leverage, to destabilize and maneuver their opponents. Typical match settings include a circular sandpit known as the ""terrero,"" where vivacious music and enthusiastic spectators frequently accompany the action."
