  • Scandinavian children began training in these forms of glima at the age of 6 or 7, and glima was practiced by male and female alike. The people of Viking Age Scandinavia loved all forms of sport, but glima was by far the most widespread sport. Glima wrestling competitions were extremely popular and wherever the people of the north gathered, glima was a big part of the entertainment. Glima was so important for Viking society that their most popular god, Thor, was also the god of wrestling.

  • Over the centuries, the nature of combat in war has changed due to the constant development of weapons, but when it comes down to hand to hand combat, glima is an extremely effective martial art. Since the Viking Age, glima has always been practiced for realistic combat situations in Scandinavia. From historical documents, we can see that Viking fighting techniques were in use all the way to the 19th century, when combat glima was used as the foundation for bajonettkamp (bayonet fighting) by the Swedish and Norwegian military.

  • With the changing methods of warfare, where one on one combat on the battlefield began to disappear, combat glima also began to disappear. At the beginning of the 20th century, combat glima was even made illegal in some parts of Scandinavia, when all dangerous hand to hand combat techniques for the common man were banned. Combat glima survived only by keeping it a secret. With the changing methods of warfare, where one on one combat on the battlefield began to disappear, combat glima also began to disappear.

  • Sport glima has advantages over similar martial arts and wrestling, because the premise, even as a sport, is to get up and away as fast as possible. This is because sport glima came directly from Viking combat situations, where a person did not want to stay long on the ground, enabling a second attacker to kill them. As it is vital to find out what works in reality, as opposed to demonstration, the last 15 minutes of every glima class is competition, where students fight to survive and check out their techniques.  Sport glima has advantages over similar martial arts and wrestling, because the premise, even as a sport, is to get up and away as fast as possible.
