Well to me, this is my opinion, if you're nice with a sword but get the crap beat out of you with your hands i cant say that you're really a bad ass. I dont respect the vikings. They were mauraders who preyed on the weak and even they knew their limitations. There were certain areas in europe that had real nikkas they wouldnt even consider fukkin with. At the same time, europe had a lot weak people in general so its easy to paint the picture of them being these badasses when they were going up against weaklines.

considering their populations, the gap in technology they had between a lot of their opponents, and their general goals (to power their own resource lacking society by taking from others, they did quite alright. I agree that there is a lot of romanticizing of their abilities as "noble savages", but there is just as much downplaying of their culture, art, technology, and skills.

Dude went on and on in a thread about how he could KO a chimp by putting him a headlock. This is after ppl posted news articles about chimps effortlessly tearing human body parts/car doors off. He's a troll

LMAO. This might be the funniest & most absurd thing I've read all day.

Lol...what makes all this even more funny is Mowgli is only like 5'9" and 180 lbs.
The US military is also latching on to this terminology over the last 5 years or so and it's similarly semantically tricky. The average modern military person (from any country) hasn't seen any front line combat nevermind looking an enemy in the eye.. and getting wounded by bombs and things, although real enough, is not analogous to hack-and-slash warrior wounds cause it's not like you had a fight with the explosive
mowgli is probably spot on about how they were built
but i think hes discounting the fact they would go for his eyes, groin, and were in general under a state or permanent adrenaline for the duration of some battles

Yeah it's pure fantasy. The other major culprit is that garbage show Deadliest Warrior, which is equally full of hypothetical-oriented speculation, complete ahistorical and decontextualized nonsense, and also macho, chest-beating nationalism.
People like Egil Skallagrimsson and Musashi Miyamoto were killing people before they hit puberty. To think that we can understand the minds of people like that and compare their context to the sport of commercial fighting is absurd.
You are the most level headed person in this thread.
Im see they did their thing. A lot of raiding
and at the same time i cant romanticize these people as you said because theres no reason too. They did some raiding and marauding but again a lot of the ass kicking they performed was against the weak. This notion that they conquered Europe is a joke because in many cases they worked with other europeans and helped them. Having settlements is far from conquering and ruling nations.

group pressure is the greatest drug, especially in the primitive ages.

You have no idea the extent of my abilities. I dont need mushrooms and psychadelic trash to tap into the kind of focus these fool had to manufacture with drug addiction.
