COMBATIVE
SYSTEM

Our System:
GLÍMA - LAUSATÖK

Glíma is the style of grappling and hand-to-hand combat practiced by Vikings for thousands of years. Intended for real-life combat, with the intent of ending fights as fast and decisively as possible. Glíma originated in Norway before being brought to Iceland in 870, and is an official combat system under Jónsbók and Gragas (Medieval Norse laws). It is associated with our God Þórr (Thor). 

There are several styles:

• Lausatök, grappling with blows, locks, and throws.

• Hráspenna, grappling to pin.

• Lagarspenna, grappling in water. 

• Hryggspenna, backhold wrestling. 

• Brokartök, grappling with trousers (Icelandic Sport Glima).

NORD COMBAT focuses on Lausatök, the most aggressive style, to develop combative skills for real life use. As levels of violence escalate in our countries, so too must your preparedness for it. 

We have also Modernized Glíma for this purpose, introducing firearms into our curriculum. 

EXPERIENCED IN OTHER STYLES? WELCOME!

All fighting is based on biomechanics, and leads to the same goal. Rather than re-invent how you fight, we welcome your experience, and for Combat Sports Athletes, we help adapt it to outside the ring. 

Fighter/Black-Belt? We offer an accelerated instructor course for those with extensive experience. Run a Gym/Club/Dojo? We’d love to come teach seminars. 

We also offer Military Discounts.
