Be powerfully present... Sifu Dane Griffith, the Kung Fu Viking. Certified instructor of traditional Southern Chinese Shaolin Wing Chun kung fu in the Metro Cincinnati area. Owner and Sifu of Blue Lantern Martial Arts: Shaolin Wing Chun Kung Fu in Elsmere, Kentucky.
Kveldúlfu Northern-Axe at the Ohio and Kentucky Renaissance festivals and the Fenrir Viking Festival in Kentucky. Jarl of the Bluegrass Jomsvikings and real-life Norseman.
Being a "modern Viking" to me means living a bold lifestyle. One that places honor and dignity in the forefront and defending one's family and friends a priority. The Havamal says "Cattle die and kinsmen die, thyself too must die,
but one thing never will die, the fame of one who has done well." This is to say that one's reputation lives on after us.
