Folk wrestling

A folk wrestling style is any traditional style of wrestling, which may or may not be codified as a modern sport.

Most cultures have developed regional forms of grappling.

Traditionally wrestling has two main centres in Great Britain: the West Country, where the Devon and Cornwall styles were developed, and in the Northern counties; the home of the Cumberland and Westmorland styles and Catch wrestling.
