Martial Arts Asked on December 4, 2021
Glima is a wresting Scandinavian martial art dating back to Viking times. Greco-Roman wrestling should be well known. Vikings were known to associate with the Roman Empire — see the Varangians.
Is there any cross pollination between Glima and Greco-Roman wrestling?
I am mostly looking for primary sources, although an analysis by a practitioner of both would be most welcome.
I just watched a video to see Glima wrestling in action.
Looks like it requires a lot of upper body strength and more time standing than in ground control. Plus, at least one big difference. No pin or tap. Just escape to win. Interesting. I learned something new today.
Here's an article with more information, The Gripping History of Glima, featuring an old web page showing how the internet looked in 2020.
