exactly!!!

Same with mongolian Wrestling or Chinese shuai jiao

Mmh,so there is jacket,belt ,starting hold and double loop pants? These are all the wrestling styles? Reminds me of the Swiss Schwingen,which has very peculiar pants

Being 225 sounds nice for bouncing :) I agree with everything you wrote. My whole system is dedicated to getting past the danger zone and in close. I like fighting face to face with people.

@@inside_fighting Kalaripayattu martial arts review

@@akraminalom8714 It's on my list of videos to do

I don't know why people are conditioned to think the first guy to throw a punch will win. in my experience fighting or watching fights on the street there are way more variables. what I have noticed is that the first person to throw a punch sonetimes wins if the target doesn't fight back. but if a guy hits somebody and the dude starts swinging back, typically the guy who got hit first will win, and the sucker puncher will lose.. because the first punch "woke him up" and activated his energy to beat some @ss.

​@@cult_of_tyr hmm, no that doesn't sound right. Makes more sense that the first person to initiate will win. That's typically because the other person isn't expecting it at all, they are still in mouth mode, when you randomly crack someone who isn't expecting it, it usually drops them (if you're around the same size) or stuns them enough to be able to finish them off with a few more hits, or they fall down and the other person mounts. It's really easy to knock someone out when they aren't expecting it.

So u still know Ur Family Line after centuries?

@@Wanwan-mq3jw yes, back to where our clan came from and the land they owned on Gotland

@Wanwan-mq3jw our history is passed down through generations through stories and in the things we make. The Indians have the same system. The family heritage is also kept in the maternal line and names. MY Great Grandmother had 4

​@@desertdan100really a great gift !

It was the best of times, it was a less civil of times.

I have to hear it at 2x now hahaha.

My pleasure!

Hahahah i see it the same way 😂

Just kick 'em in the nads, worked on the wolfman

Thanks so much! I will make that one soon 🙏🏼

As a swedish person with norse family (meaning im fluont in old norse) and a glima practitioner i need to correct you No tag doesn't mean pull it means hold or Grip and the names are wrong too it's hrygspenna for back hold, lausatök for lose Grip, brókartök trouser Grip, and back hold wasn't like greco romen wrestling it was the same as Scottish backhold with the gripping

​@@Scholar_Of_The_Martial_Arts Swedish (and Finnish) Folk Wrestling also have "Ryggtag" (back hold) but it was also known as "Livtag" (torso/waist hold) and even though it sounds like it should be a different starting position it was often described as the same starting positions. There was also "kragtag" or "kragkast" which is "collar hold" or "collar throw" which is when you start with holding the front of the collar with both hands. I think there was one where you had one on the collar and one on the arm, like in Judo, as well but I do not remember what it was called now. Even though there were different starting position the ruleset afterward seem to be pretty similar: put the opponent on the ground without loosing the grip; some specified putting the opponent on the back but most rulesets did not specify that. The "ryggtag" (backhold) can today be found in Iceland, Scottland and Gotland (Sweden) but it was once wide spread in the region. Because of it it's wide spread it easy to assume that this variant also was one of the oldest.

😂 thank you

😮😮😮 i will

@@inside_fighting You'll regret that you did. 🤣

That's weird, because Glima is often called broktak - brok means pants in Old Norse.

Ohhhh i will research it

@@inside_fighting I'm in Cornwall now it's where I live if you want any information about it msg me anytime I might be able to help

I would love to come visit and shoot a video even if you wanted!

Johannes Joseffsen , famous Icelandic Glima fighter fought bouts in the US against all comers..Judo, catch, boxers etc and armed opponents too. He certainly didn't use the belted style to do that! Tyr Neilsen, who came from Norway to teach us, learnt from his father in law.I was sceptical at first but what he does and says makes sense.Also, he is a decent and honorable person, so I'll take his word for it.The 3 day seminar was full of professional fighters and multiple black belt holders who would say the same too.Tyr does admit that he has modernised certain elements, as the head of the Norwegian Ju Jitsu Federation and direct student of Dan Inosanto, why not.The same was done with Sambo, Judo, Kyokushin, BJJ, Escrima Concepts etc. Interestingly, Tyr and Lars (who learnt from old Icelandic masters and he has documented it well) have exactly the same ruleset and set up but do not get on or share knowledge.The Losetak form of 'sport wrestling' is pure, it has too many weird idiosycracies to be otherwise. Watch the video link I posted above.

@@viking_training_system the loose grips Glíma that Josephson used is not the same as the system known as "Combat Glíma" As for decent person I'm sure he is. As for telling the truth...well a lot of George Dilman's students swear he's an honest man too. You admit the system was modified; to what degree and in what areas? For example if a system were 10% Glíma & 90% Ju-jitsu someone could say it's modified Glíma but is it really at that point? Like I said I'd love to be wrong but just because someone is from Iceland, has trained actual Glíma & added elements doesn't mean it's how Viking age warriors fought. It could be, but since no Viking age manuals exist uunless someone has a proven, unchanged & unbroken lineage going back to the Viking age then claiming to be a Viking age art is suspect. In the 70s Jim Arvanitis started teaching "Greek Pankration". At the time he strongly implied it was the same as ancient Pankration & said he learned various techniques from older men in Greece in their neighborhoods & such. He also studied various arts such as wrestling, boxing, savate, karate, etc. Really it was a modern art based on the principles of ancient Pankration. Now a days he says his is a modern type of Pankration. This doesn't mean he's a bad guy, that his art isn't good or any other negatives. It does mean it's not truly an ancient art. Which is fine as long as one isn't trying to claim an art is ancient when it's a modern art that contains some elements of old but adds techniques from other arts; especially arts from very different times & locations. So while Combat Glima may be effective & worth learning my issue is in people claiming it is the way Vikings fought. The admission that it has elements added from other arts from other countries & cultures definitely undermines the "it's how Vikings fought" argument. I'm glad to hear people feel he's a good man & I do wish him the best. I just want people in general to be honest about what they are selling.

I’ll research it. Anthony cummins is the ninpo guy that was previously mentioned here i believe. Sounds fascinating

@@inside_fighting yeah he's really well known for researching stuff related to ninja and Samurai I think that style of swordsmanship that he ended up Reviving was called like Natori Ryu or something and apparently it has like a legitimate lineage going back to Japanese feudal times

Anthony Cummins is a arrogant twat with a overly inflated ego in my experience. If you want to take a deep dive into old Norse martial arts as the are portrayed in the sagas the look in to the society/club called "Hurstwic" who over many many years have done extremly deep research into the subject. Everything from analysing and recreating the scenes described in the sagas to analysing archelogical finds, recreating steel manfacturing and mapped out common battle wounds found on skelletons - and so on and so on. All with a very serious scientific approach. Just search for "Hurstwic" and you will get to it.

Hahaha the sneeze was very important to the video though.

grabbing a belt always was a thing in judo in eastern Europe, Georgians (country, not state) were especially specializing in it, it's kind of out of the box from gi grips and as such can be surprising. I'm not sure about modern Olympic judo rule set, though.

@vyderka I think I'm gonna start giving wedgies in bjj. Wedgies = grabbing belt You do same thing in sumo.. Bullies do the same thing to other kids

I used it all the time in sambo. I grabbed the belt. I’d always go for an overhook or undertook and take it but my throws were a bit different than what you see in glima as i always went paralallel

I will 🤔

The Norse were outnumbered by 50(?):1, and the Indians didn't even manage to finish off a few farmers, women and children. Thank God for smallpox.
