General Information Kampfringen, meaning “combat grappling” in German is a type of grappling originating in medieval Germany.The grappling style consists of joint-locks, leverage throws, pain compliance grips and striking techniques (Crudelli 2010). It was useful in self-defense situations, in formal duels, and even on the battlefield should a weapon be lost or broken.
The system is unarmed, but there are related styles using swords (Ringen am Schwert) as well as mounted styles. (Green and Svinth 2010: 112, 577, 715).Kampfringen is part of the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).
History/Development The system dates back to Roman times and was still widely practiced during the Middle Ages (Crudelli 2010).
