North Canterbury Viking Martial Arts Meetup

North Canterbury Viking Martial Arts Meetup is a welcoming group dedicated to providing martial arts training.

The initial focus will be Glima (Viking wrestling) and we will add additional HEMA related activities as the group grows.

For fun, we will include some Glima adjacent games like Knattleikr and Combat Talf.

We will incorporate Viking warrior philosophy, Drengskapr, which includes the virtues of:
-Courage
-Honesty
-Loyalty
-Perseverance
-Fair Play
-Imperturbability and emotional composure
-Magnanimity
-Being humane

There will be three annual tournaments to identify the people's rankings (~April, July and October).

This meetup is also associated with the North Canterbury Ásatrú Meetup whose focus is on Viking lore.
