Context please. Modern day vikings are what we would call the Norwegians and possibly Dutch (Someone from Europe is going to slaughter me for this analogy).

If we pit a battle when Vikings were at the height of their raping the British Isles power, then I would take the Vikings because warfare is not a 1 vs 1 arcade game. It was conducted en masse and in small groups. I recall more Shaolin monk temples being burnt down with monks slaughtered by the Chinese than vice versa.

Likewise, the physical comparison would have resembled the Vikings averaging a Lebron James physique compared to the Shaolin having the body of a Gilbert Gottfried.

No comparison, Vikings because they had more experience in warfare, conducted war en masse and in small groups, while the Shaolin had amazing discipline and martial arts mastery, they are not a martial people with a martial heart. Instead, the Shaolin would lose a few battles and try to find peace higher up in the mountains or try to convert the Vikings.
