How the heck does someone even get involved in this? I’ve gone 36 years without knowing this type of combat exists until now.. I’m so curious about this.. who wakes up one day and decides they want to full contact fight with medieval armor and weaponry? Who would you practice with? How would you meet enough people involved to host an event like this? It reminds me of bobsledding in the sense that it seems like an impossible hobby to enter into.. but it’s definitely awesome and im very curious about how protective the gear is and how sturdy/heavy duty the weapons are.. I mean, knights actually died fighting like this so there has to be some type of regulations (obviously).. but what are they?
10k in kit and the most effective starts are leaning on tired dudes and kicking legs out ... No one goes down to weapon strikes . This is just wrestling in full plate in sand .
Yeah true, but I think the weapon strikes must be effective in hurting and distracting, their heads are being rocked back by the blows, knocking the opponent down to the ground before the kill would have been used a lot back in the day with full armour, the difference is they would have been jamming a dagger through the gaps of the armour to kill.
@@banan1788 Nah, it's how it is if you intentionally ban any weapon that can deal with armoured opponents. They have to do that for safety reasons but it does make the sport(?) kind of boring.
@DouchebagDex I think its fun, it doesn't take away from. Entertainment value, as long as there is fanfare and the knights play to make a good show out of it and not just going hog wild. it makes for a crazy Renaissance show. Say you just bought some mutton and a large mug of ale or mead lol. This is the closest you'll get to the highest form of medieval combat. It was often slow and drawn out if both opponents respected each other. Exhaustion from lack of oxygen is also a reason why. Now less armored combat is much of the opposite although it's still skill that matters.
Lots of dumb comments from people who don’t understand how hard it is to fell a big dude covered in steel, hint, they didn’t call it judo, they did carry roundel daggers, only very rich people got armor.

The weapons are not sharp there’s rules on the thickness allowed. There are definitely mild injuries. Thrusting with weapons has been disallowed from the sport as it can cause serious injury or kill someone. It still definitely hurts a LOT to get hit by one of the weapons especially by someone trained.
@@markneillmusic9082 I was watching a video from some athletes and one of them said for his helm it has worked because he had no concussion yet. I was wondering if the concussions were common or something?
They're common enough for most events to at least have a few of them, but not common enough that EVERY contestant will experience them. @@perseusarkouda

I'm of the opposite opinion. I feel like larger lists offer more dynamic fights in the field and away from the list, where formations and team tactics are more important and getting outflanked and having an enemy in the backfield is a major threat. I understand where you are coming from though, sometimes lists do get ridiculously large and it turns into a match where everyone is walking from point a to point b and back again just to make it to a fight. Probably a good middleground for list sizes that allow for both realities.
@@MrDevelopTV List as in the arena they're fighting in. Ideally it'd be tabletop as well, because everything I've seen recently seems to agree that tabletop is better than the alternatives.
@Themedievalthings i studied at the royal armories , part of the European medieval combat guild, using various weaopns. Have done many martial arts over the years and also boxing. Indeed in a real life situation its much more sloppy, but tbh it seems like every video i see of proper combat is like there is next ro no skill being used
When i have the free time i will, i also make longbows too, the single handed sword amd shield fighting techniques are actually lost to history, the only surviving of any such techniques are only found in documents concerning sword and buckler fencing or very few containing targe and claymore. The longsword and great sword were heavily recorded with diagrams depicting technique execution etc.
It’s called a “Samson” which is a modified version of the “Frogmouth” a helmet that was predominantly used for jousting. The eye slit was angled to prevent the knight from getting splinters from his lance in his eyes. The Samson is less angled to allow the wearer to see more directly in front of them.
Remove that '' You triped hihi! '' rule and you might have something. I mean, if you manage to trow him on the ground you already have an advantage to beat him into submission. But that ridiculous ''judo'' move is dissapointing af. why bother carry a weapon if you re just tackling people...i cant be the only one who hate this.
@@hughgrection7246 oh god, you are funny AF, i really really wanna see, how someone like you will try to grip Bru and his famous halberd with just your hands, that will be one hell of a show to watch xDD
Rules need to be changed big time . 1: No clinching allowed . Period . Ever . Under any circumstances. 2: Fallen fighters must verbally submit or signal submission by some predetermined visual signal 3: the wooden lists need to be replaced with a cage so the "fighters" can't lean on them . 4: Axes and maces should be mandatory .
1. Grappling has always been part of combat especially armored combat 2. You’re face down in mud with three other people fighting over you, no one can hear you and you can’t move. 3. Why? How could someone get in or out quickly in an emergency? 4. They’re not trying to kill each other, get a grip.
Because this is a sport and not a duel to the death. I typically fight with a mace and buckler but there’s constraints on the weight of a mace. Plate armor is very good against blades but maces were originally designed to shatter the bones beneath it…at the same time you don’t want to maim or cripple your opponents in this sport.

Very odd comment… you need to get your psyche checked…
Rules need to be changed big time .
1: No clinching allowed . Period . Ever . Under any circumstances.
2: Fallen fighters must verbally submit or signal submission by some predetermined visual signal
3: the wooden lists need to be replaced with a cage so the "fighters" can't lean on them .
4: Axes and maces should be mandatory .
Maybe
The only one of these I agree with is people shouldn't be allowed to lean on the posts.
Your rules will buy you time but eventually you will need to word them differently to better control for your ideals.
Clinging and grabbling was very much a part of armor-on-armor battlefield fighting
1. Grappling has always been part of combat especially armored combat
2. You’re face down in mud with three other people fighting over you, no one can hear you and you can’t move.
3. Why? How could someone get in or out quickly in an emergency?
4. They’re not trying to kill each other, get a grip.
They do realize they could use maces and hammers right? 🤷 why r they smashing with their swords? Never liked that part about Buhurt lmao 🤣 Hulk smash
Maces are controlled to avoid injuries
You do realise their not trying to maim or kill eachother?
They aren't fighting to the death lol
Because this is a sport and not a duel to the death. I typically fight with a mace and buckler but there’s constraints on the weight of a mace. Plate armor is very good against blades but maces were originally designed to shatter the bones beneath it…at the same time you don’t want to maim or cripple your opponents in this sport.
Maces flails and spikies are not allowed
