At practice this week we had a special visitor: Viking Man!

Bill Short does the Viking shows at the Higgins and has been developing Viking exercises.
As we don’t have a whole lot of shows this summer, we thought it would be good to have some different concepts for training and practice for folks who show up in the heat.

Some of the practices were similar to some of the cutting drills we’ve used before.

But, we’ve never done anything like his “roll the other person over” drill or the grapple and lift drill.

I’m told the shield push drill is very different on floors with less traction then the lawn.

Some of the targeting and striking drills were also very interesting.

Sadly the Viking butt whacking and zombie Viking butt whacking were so popular that we did not get stills. I think we have video and I’ll work on that later.

We have been saying that we need some good exercises and drills for people at practice. Bill gave us a lot of good ideas and we’re certainly going to use some of them.
