Glíma (anglicised as Glima / Icelandic Wrestling) is an Icelandic sport for combat and is categorised as Nordic folk wrestling. In the most common form of glima, players grip their opponent by the waist and attempt to throw them to the ground using technique rather than force. Other variants allow for more aggression.
