    CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND STYLE WRESTLING
    Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, more commonly known just as Cumberland
    Wrestling, is an ancient and well-practised tradition in the traditional English counties
    of Cumberland and Westmorland. It bears enough of a resemblance to Scottish
    Backhold, which is practised just north of the border, for them to be classed under
    the joint heading North Country style.
    The origin of the North Country style of wrestling is a matter of debate, with some
    describing it as having evolved from Norse wrestling brought over by Viking
    invaders. Other historians associate it with the Cornish and Gouren styles indicating
    that it may have developed out of a longer-standing Celtic tradition, and the
    FInternational des Luttes Celtique classes Cumberland wrestling as Celtic.
    However, the Norse shared culture with other Germanic peoples and Cumbrian
    wrestling has much in common with Icelandic Glima wrestling.
