User:NorseOx/Krigarenve

The Krigarenve is a Northern European martial arts form (or Western Martial Art, WMA), whose traditions, techniques, tactics and over all fighting arts styles can be traced back as far as the Gaul (a large country of Germanic tribes that inhabited the European land mass next to the Roman Empire) of 1000BC. The Krigarenve is most well known and represented historically in the hand-to-hand fighting and grappling skills of the Vikings of ancient Europe, but shares similar roots as Pankration, being developed, historically, fighting both with and against the ancient Greeks and Persians.

Many of the Krigarenve Bragds (trick or technique) are very similar to other martial arts' techniques. Similarly styled techniques are very common from one fighting art to another, all fighting arts are based on the principal of manipulating the opponents body as efficiently as possible to defeat them. These physics are limited the constraints of the human form, so it is only logical that any people studying the human body for this exploitation are going to come to similar conclusions and experiences. A good comparison is to look at the similarities between Viking wrestling, Glima, and Japanese wrestling, Judo.
