We’re heading back to the Land of Ice and Fire for another week of training, exploring, and partying in one of the most stunningly beautiful places on Earth. Grab your drinking horn and gi (and glíma belt) and meet us there!


The earliest site of Norse settlement in Iceland (dating from the 9th century AD), modern-day Reykjavík is a bustling capital city with a wonderfully eclectic mix of ultra-modern concert halls, colourful old wooden houses, trendy cafes that turn into late-night party pubs, and streets named after Odin and Thor.

Mjölnir is the largest grappling and MMA gym in the world, with a staggering 3000m2 of floor space dedicated to every conceivable aspect of martial arts training. Six matted halls for Jiu Jitsu and yoga, a full-sized professional MMA cage and boxing ring, weightlifting and strength-and-conditioning studios, and locker rooms with their own sauna and ice-bath areas.


Over the years, everyone from UFC fighters like Conor McGregor and Gunnar Nelson, to multiple Icelandic grappling champions, have walked through these doors to hone their craft. When you bump fists and roll at Mjölnir, you really will be walking in the footsteps of giants.

How many people get to go to Iceland and tick “wrestle a Viking” off their bucket list? In order to ensure that you have just such an opportunity, we’ve assembled a thunderous horde of locals ready to face off against all comers in a Glíma tournament. Glíma is the native Icelandic style of wrestling, and involves grabbing hold of your opponent’s belt and trying to knock him/her off their feet. It’s one of the oldest folk-wrestling traditions in Europe, with a written history dating back to at least the year 1325 AD, and has been proudly practiced by the descendants of the Vikings ever since.

Come join the other camp participants for a half-day, guided sightseeing tour of the amazing nature of Iceland! We’ve rented a bus exclusively for the camp and will do two trips around the Golden Circle to see some of the most classic and impressive sights that the country has to offer. Since we’ve booked for 100 people, we’re able to keep this super affordable for you campers :)
