Thread: "Western" MA

  1. #1

    Thumbs up "Western" MA

    To put it briefly and save my time,Iīd like to know of your experiences%preferences concerning western MA.
    (The trend seems to go that about any MA that does not originate from Asia is at times considered Western you can take that into account)

    OK, there's "glima", which is supposed to be a "resurrected" nordic wrestling style, but in reality it's just judo without groundgrappling, and practised in very large leatherboots and belts
