nice to see USA honoring their ancient military traditions, oh wait...
Im american, my last name is Lancaster, i have royal lineage.... just saying....
Brad Lancaster are you indian ? No, so you come from Europe
Yea but was born in America hence I'm American..... Indians are born in India..... What's the point?
A royal brick you are.
+Brad Lancaster
You're a fuckin dumbass
8:25 That one Russian checking on a USA dude, and then helping him up and butting heads, I love seeing good sportsmanship like that.
I know this is late but I wish people in the comments were like this instead of generalizing all Americans.
They're Knights man. It's in the code. ;)
Nice to see not all Russians have a bias against Americans, I can assure you the feeling is mutual in that regard.

The US isn't too bad for a country that *NEVER HAD KNIGHTS*
George Washington, and I daresay many other Americans, had ancestors who were knights. Does that count?
New York Knights Combat Its just a joke, I am an American.
@@NewYorkKnightsCombat1 George Washington isn't an American when he was young. He was a British military officer, right?
@@maxmuller8633 ...and then led the continental army to victory against the British and became our first president. We even named our capital city after him and use his coat of arms as its flag. Like many great Americans, he was an immigrant, and he also had ancestors who were knights.
@@NewYorkKnightsCombat1 I know that but people from America keep saying he was American not his actual origin

На своїй козячій пиши
после драки кулаками не машут - есть такая Русская поговорка.
Glad to finally see what the Medieval American units in Civilization look like up close.
U.S. actually has a descend team, I'd say they've came in forth place in the past. It's just that Russians are one of the two founders of this modern sport and are very elite at it.
+LordEd21 21 Actually U. S. team mostly used swords while Russians have a front line of swords and pole arms and in the back. Russians developed their own tactics that work. The second best team "Ukraine" tries to copy it with good results against others, but still gets demolished vs Russia. Personally I'm surprised that U. S. team hadn't included more of eastern European tactics in their own game play. They all share tips with each other and this had been going on 2009 i believe.
+Sergey Slipchenko Yeah, you would think U.S. team would've learned it by now: keep pole arms in the back to support the sword/shield front line and exploit opportunities. Instead the team makes the same mistakes every year: 1) mixing different weapons together in no particular order, 2) pole arms rushing into frontline melee thus neutralizing the advantage of their reach, and 3) taking too long to bring people down even with localized advantage. In the first fight, 1 Russian pole arm advance too far and was engaged by 2 U.S. pole arms, but they took so long in that contest they never had a chance to bring him down.
+Charles W Yes but that's not all. The tactics the skill of individual fighters and the unit. It's easy to criticize, but the this age doing good. Considering that no one done this on such proffesional level till 4 years ago. Their getting there.
+Charles W I meant to say - the guys are doing good*
Sergey Slipchenko True enough, armored combat is very much a fringe thing in America, not too many people know about it.
I feel this arena is too small.
ikr
actually if it is too big it becomes a game of tackling which sucks, smaller = more confined, harder to tackle others over. Just my 2 cent
SpawnPixel Implying that fighting wasn't ever cramped...
Yes, this arena is notoriously small for this sport. Usually the field is about the sizeof a little more than a quarter of a football field.
Some people say that this feild size was selected to play to the strength of the Russians. Whether or not that is true, theior fighting style does play well in these cramped quarters.
Agree

Glad to see this! Fascinating sport, and definitely something to get into! It's equally great to see the players themselves showed respect to one another, as sportsmen. Well and good to represent your country, far better to set an example to others through action. Russia did very well in this, as I gather they usually do, and continued battles with the US team will lead to more exciting matches for everyone involved. This can only get better!
Interesting that today the whole world is laughing at pathetic Russian army. LOL!

The knights are just there to have fun and fight in with medieval weapons & equipment. The comment section is just here to throw insults at each other's countries like children.
I agree this is a new martial art sport. Some fighters play for sport some play for fun.
Bro I’m looking through the comment section: WW3 ->outlook not so good
Exactly people attacking other people’s heritage is pretty lame
Shutup centrist, every extreme is on the same team😏
I was here for a while, but I didn't see any insults XD. The ply thing is that USA never had knights
Amerekan team young it needs experience and these competitions are a very good place to gain experience, so the Americans train and participate in the competition just so you will become stronger, and Russia can wish further success!
I respect you for saying something with such knowledge and hopefulness

+Sweyn78 He broke through the line and drew two Americans out of the fight. Had they not gone with him he would have laid waste to the backside of the American line and done even more damage. He did good for his team.

Архип В, saying the word "Amerikosi" is not the same as "Pindos". Do not lie here! I use the word "Amerikos" myself, because it's easier to say this than to pronounce the full word "Americans". It does not mean any malicious intent. It is not necessary to mislead people here and organize an international dislike!

YOU rely on country to fund your cold arm fighting? What a socialist crap
During Ireland's economic crisis and fall of the Celtic Tiger, family's in my city were eating cereal/porridge for breakfast dinner and tea.With unemployment at a all time high.My government decided to fund a model train set of one million euro that might bring tourism into the city and stimulate.The people involved were all job seekers within the community.They were also funded to go to Germany on a week paid vacation to find out how to make a model train set.Opening day was televised, a stupid little model train set.No longer a week later it was put into storage in the courthouse and never spoke of again.I can't have my little comment about wishing my country would fund something a little more exciting? So I just have to root for Scotland for representing the Celts.

Actually, we Russians didn’t have knights either since the time of Rus
Many Americans have heritage in Europe... how does this need to be explained?! Hilarious ignorance.
You don't have to have a history of medieval combat to participate anyway. The only time your history and lineage matter is if you're claiming a family crest of nobility specific to a particular nation.

Ah this brings back the memory's of learning of the deadly Knights of the U.S. In history
Why cant wars be decided like this!? Best is when at 8:27 the guy in the bottom right checks if the guy on the floor from the opposite team is alright!
Not bad, but I was expecting something else...something better
Things they got right: Costumes, weapons, armors and the visual aspect
of it, quite impressive...also the level of intensity, with hard blows
being delivered, looks pretty straight forward too!
Things they got wrong: The rules, or the "rule", because it seems as the
only thing that matters is making your oponent trip... Theres no point
on how good you are with your sword...if your oponent is a 120kg fat
bloke you are going down..
I can see a point system wouldnt work, whos gonna keep the track of who-
hit-where&when?? specially with 40 people out there...
What about certain areas of the arena (wich should be bigger IMO as
well) are marked with colored circles, stay in there for a period of
time earn a certain amount of points...
What about some kind of capture the flag, or defend the king or
whatever,, but this nonsensse...
What I see here is just a bunch of properly dressed medieval knights
fighting like drunk british teenagers, and it aint pretty...
Weapon skills, medieval warfar, battle tactics?? mehh forget about that,
just bring your national mma\jiujitsu\wrestling\judo team...dress them
as medieval as you can,, boom job done...
Sorry, brillian concept, ruined by poor rules dooming the whole event in
advance...
+Rico Cori I agree, I def saw a bunch of players, on both sides get shredded but keep going because they're still standing, which to me, invalidates the whole point of swords and shields. And the area looked way too small for 21v21, maybe 5v5 or 10v10. There's certainly got to be a better way to do this, other than it being a bunch of guys basically ignoring their weapons and going for tackles or trips.
+Foxtrot Whiskey You would have a hard time killing man wearing full armor using only melee weapons; In regular face to face combat between heavily armored opponents the common approach was to put your enemy down and then stab him through the visor when he was more exposed. Some weapon like poleaxes were particularly good at pulling people around precisely because of that. As a matter of fact (there are solid historical records), even serious duels -including those to death- between nobles and knights had rules revolving around the action of having your opponent either laying on the ground or with one knee on the ground to determine the winner. In some cases it was agreed that the winner had the opportunity to chose the fate of the loser, in others the "to death" part was straight forward and they were killed right there.
1 on 1 duels also started off with more than one weapon per participant, the weapons were also agreed in before hand.
Considering you can't really let people go stabbing around on a sport (because that might end up on a serious injury, unlike bashing that is mostly safe), this comes fairly close to a real combat. The technique books are that, technique books, you don't make perfect executions of your attacks while getting your head slammed by a bardiche, you press forward and use the techniques only if the situation lets you. Let's not overlook the effect of having your head bashed, dealing with a very reduced visibility, more cumbersome movability and the ever raising body heat; it might seem easy on video, but the strain on your body and your attention capability is more than considerable.
I do agree that holding position point systems and other stuff could be interesting, but this is as close as you can get to a medieval tournament while keeping things relatively safe.

(Dont mind the nickname, out of character now)
In my club we are using hard rubber for speartips and blunt weapons - they are good enough to leave a bruise on solid stab or hit through padded cloth (most of us use 4 layers) but do almost nothing aganist metal. Also we are carefully looking at the size of rubber spearheads and helmet vizors to not let tip go in by any means. Practicing those for duels mostly or for 3x3 and 5x5 on-hit fights where a couple of watchers can count hits properly. In no-hit fights (where everyone are basically bashing each other until they fall) rubber spearheads are useless due to lack of stopping power, thats true. Would be way too dangerous to use even blunt metal ones. Damn physics!
Not really fair, Russians have been doing this for decades. Still, they are impressive and very skilled. Much love from the US. If we ever got together, the rest of the world would tremble ;-)
The Germans, the French , the English have been doing this for centuries, but the Russians are rolling them in the sand.
