Glima and Sumo Cousins?

Icelandic Glima is very very sumo looking, who says principles aren't universial! Or the Viking were in Japan.

Re: Glima and Sumo Cousins?



Yes, the vikings were in Japan, and in Mongolia and Korea too. Here is why there is mongolian wrestling, japanese Sumo, korean Ssirum and flying kicks in TKD, the latter developed to face vikings riding Shetland ponies ....

Your question solved, end of thread.
