While size did help a lot in medieval combat, it wasn't the whole story, it was less important than what you see in these tournaments. Mainly because speed and technique and fight IQ and stamina are somewhat neglected by the fact they're not using lethal weapons. If you're a big guy you can use more blunt force, but you also gas out a lot faster, which is very dangerous in medieval combat and could prove to be your downfall. Also, their fighting formation is different from what you'd see on a medieval battlefield, even if you account for the smaller numbers.
Yeah, especially when nobody on the field really has the skill to counteract big size differences. I'm sure these guys train physically and do a bit of sparing, but they all have jobs outside of this. You'd need to be a full fledged knight to have the competence needed to take someone much bigger than you without a sizeable amount of luck

says someone whose country was invaded a zillion times and was charging german tanks with horses! lol! Like most ignorant people you refer to ONE example (1940)... not mentioning that: At Waterloo for instance the Garde Imperiale chose to die instead of surrendering. France has never stopped increasing its territory in the last 1200 years (unlike Poland) and is seen today as a Military superpower involved in many peace mission and conflicts around the globe. the Polish army? What's that? France is also the country that has won the largest amount of battles in History. France has won the 100 year war against England and widely participated to the victory of the Republic in the American Revolution. You should review your facts before throwing idiotic undocumented comments. Also, retreat is also considered as a tactical way to trap opponents: Prussians at the Battle of Trois Chemins (1815), overall retreat of the German Army in 1914 etc.
@@romaindemarais quand on connait pas l'histoire de la Pologne on ferme sa gueule. Le fait que les Polonais chargaient les tanks Allemands a cheval est faux, c'est une propagande Allemande.

You can tell how much size mattered in medieval combat. One huge guy can make a big difference.
