Very interesting. At 41 second, the long haired guy performs what we, in judo, would call tai otoshi. Fabian von Auerswald, writing in 1532, called it the "short hip." In catch wresting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was known by various names, probably the most common being the "cross buttocks." It's cool to see that you guys in Iceland have it too.
Interesting. Haveyou taken the techniques illustrated here straight from glima, or do any of you have a wrestling background in some other form of wrestling?
I'm Norse and I feel a sense of pride for my Nordic heritage and being introduced to this style of wrestling.

@haffoc I've been calling it "tripping" since I was 5, it's nice to know that people took the time to make such exotic names for it :).

All the techniques are straight from Glima. The style is called Lausa-tök
or 'Free grappling'. I have no other wrestling background besides Glima.
Thanks for your questions.
Best wishes, Lars Magnar Enoksen
