Makiwari is great for conditioning your blows to break what you hit, instead of what you hit breaking you! It also increases mental fortitude. #wushu #kravmagabrasil#kungfu #JeetKuneDo#attack#ушу #kickboxing#aikikai #jiujitsu #kravmaga #martialartslife #wingchunkungfu #kempo #jiujitsu #айкидо#hapkido #silat #martialarts #wingchun #bjj #sambo #selfdefense #aikidoka #aikido #brucelee #karate #followforforfollowback#martialart #kungfukids https://www.instagram.com/p/CSk9xHnJwYE/?utm_medium=tumblr
Here’s a bit of information about Johannes Josefsson, the Icelander who brought Brókartök Glíma to America. Josephsson was born in Iceland, and was a lifelong student of his native Glíma. He wrestled in the 1908 Olympic Games in Greco-Roman Wrestling, unfortunately being forced to withdraw due to injury. He followed his olympic performance with competition in several mixed martial arts and prizefighting matches, regularly beating jiujitsu and Judo experts, and on at least one occasion, subduing a bear. Josephson then traveled with a circus in Europe, where he refined his act pitting his Glíma against boxers, knife fighters, and multiple assailants. Josephson later moved to America to travel with Barnum and Bailey’s, meeting and competing with American Catch Wrestlers and of course, more Jujitsu exponents, knife fighters, boxers, and multiple attackers at once.
After traveling for nearly 19 years, Josephson retired to his native Iceland with nearly $120,000 to his name, where he opened a hotel he called Hotel Borg (fortress).
