The teams all seem so happy to be there, they also have the greatest sportsmanship I've personally seen in a sport, helping others up and seeing if they are alright and making sure to keep the fun in it
Het probleem dat veel mensen niet van Rusland kan winnen is omdat het hun werk is dit doen ze parttime als je kijkt op de scoreborden zie je altijd dat rusland er in zit dit jaar had ook Rusland bijna alle catorogien gewonne ze zijn niet normaal sterk is wel jammer voor de andere
Hey, just wanted to say that I have been completely missing out on this and stumbled across this awesomeness the other day. Auto-subbed. I hope these keep happening.
Love this type of content. have been trying for years to get something similar going in my area but have had limited success and have a very small less hardcore group going. Would be a dream to attend this someday.
This sport can be great if they expand the battle arena and if teams train together like useing sheid walls, better sword handle and etc ... Looks rough like MMA , this must be world wide sport !!!! But battle arena needs to expand for 30 vs 30 and maybe towers to climb and do crazy shit lol
+lou androctonus too risky man, imagine they would just trample over each other and someone might die or have some severe injury almost every game. Would be cool I don't deny that
+lou androctonus too hard to keep track of the all the micro battles going on........unless you put shock collars on the guys(a rule if they get a shock they are forced to stop/go to the ground).....a few camera drones above and 100's of referees on the side to notice any serious bashings
It'd be nice if we had subtitles for the interviews or if each team had an english speaker or a translator would translate as they interview fighters from non-english speaking teams.
I SHAAAAALL BRAIIIIIN THEEE!! Basically just thumping each other in the head until they give up. Everyone should just carry big clubs it’s the only effective weapon in this sport. I think this activity has experienced the peak of its evolution.
+MarkoJagodinac Dat make Sense. My Daddy always told me dat we hav Russian Blood ;) They were rest in our little Village befor de fight France in Dietikon.
DCP Gaming Если уже и решил сказать что то некое то хотя бы подумай... Сказал бы хотя бы так "Ты так говоришь будто украинцы это не славяне".А так сказал как не грамотный валенок...
Игорь Баштин Вообще-то русский это собирательное название восточно-европейских славян. Белорусы, россияне, украинцы это все русские народности. Сейчас их искусственно разделяют, но разницы между нами очень мало.
tag tagi Не плохо ответил кроме одного упущения.Слова русский не было до 17 века и называть надо если уже и общим то русы или русичи или русыни а не русские..
sparring ground is too small for any real tactics, except - stand ground, smash halberds really hard. the ground is ideal for....russian tactics - stand ground, smash, smash
I really want to get involved with team USA but nobody ever returns my messages on Facebook. Anyone from team USA have contact info? I would be a great addition to the team.
sully9088 Here is the public group for botn usa. facebook.com/groups/BattleoftheNationsTeamUSA/ Check out both usa knights they are a power house in the IMCF. Support the team in any way. It's all about fighting for our flag.
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 its not a sport conpetition, its right. like in real life, in past. bigger ones are toughest. hard to kill. so shit the dick up and enjoy the fight. :)
+Rico Cori considering that they can't use proper battle technique because of the nature as a SPORT, this is what it ends up as. when using heavy armor, and/or fighting against heavy armor, mindlessly hacking with your sword would be futile, and that's why things such as half-swording were used; to stab exposed areas. weapons like warhammers and pole/pollaxes were usually also widely used instead of swords when using heavy armor, but they can't effectively use those here because of the no stabby-stabby rule.
The teams all seem so happy to be there, they also have the greatest sportsmanship I've personally seen in a sport, helping others up and seeing if they are alright and making sure to keep the fun in it
needs to be an olympic sport for sure
more of a sport than most Olympic ones(lol). Certainly more exciting.
i know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Lennox Ezequiel i watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
Dude I can not get enough of these videos. I really need to buckle down and just get into this.
The UK strategy, of hanging back and only coming forward when when they see an advantage, appears a great strategy if you want to lose.
Stephen Ash The US has won using it in the past, although I believe they've also lost horribly.
+Morrigi192 And then there is the Czech YOLO rush :D
Hah, some guy's shield says "Free Hugs" at 38:03
+Morrigi192 i had a good chuckle when I saw that
Damn, team Russia is fucking strong.. lol
Het probleem dat veel mensen niet van Rusland kan winnen is omdat het hun werk is dit doen ze parttime als je kijkt op de scoreborden zie je altijd dat rusland er in zit dit jaar had ook Rusland bijna alle catorogien gewonne ze zijn niet normaal sterk is wel jammer voor de andere

I feel the arena needs to be a bit bigger for 21v21
It simulate the battle i think. So they fight in small place.
Its to keep them close, like fighting in ranks like real medieval wars
This sport can be great if they expand the battle arena and if teams train together like useing sheid walls, better sword handle and etc ... Looks rough like MMA , this must be world wide sport !!!! But battle arena needs to expand for 30 vs 30 and maybe towers to climb and do crazy shit lol
Add cavalry units!! XD
+nyi htet And cannons!
+United Eagle what about epic 100 v 100 allied pitch battle
+United Eagle add arrows, no pointy arrows but an arrow with a paintball..
Pennsic has unimaginable number of warriors in battlefield. Search for it. They have archers and balista to battle with.
That charging polish guy is awesome
That polish black armor is awesome, but funny how he got wrecked at 27:46
If this gets really big like payperview.we might even see 100 vs 100!! That would be epic! And alot more strategy
lou androctonus The problem with that is that 21 vs 21 is the largest the marshals say they can handle. Anything beyond that gets too chaotic.
+lou androctonus too risky man, imagine they would just trample over each other and someone might die or have some severe injury almost every game. Would be cool I don't deny that

150 vs 150 красиво
молодцы ребята! просто сносят!
It'd be nice if we had subtitles for the interviews or if each team had an english speaker or a translator would translate as they interview fighters from non-english speaking teams.
Well, guess I am going to go into this now. Time to get my families coat of arms and go fight battles. :D
1:21:53 the ukrainian guy with go-pro helmet camera :O :O :p
Starting at 1:01:36 are the best three fights I have ever seen. And at 1:17:25 is one of the toughest guys ever. Also 1:50:40 was just brutal.
+Crazy Crow Agree, France vs. USA was awesome battle!
the Russians are immovable. if theirs ever been proof that some stereotypes are also facts its this.
stereotype are a thing for a reason.
political correctness is the only thing at fault.
Rev. Baphomet Russian been doing this sport since they were 5
So cool!
how can I join the fight?!?
Those angles on halberds and short swords are nasty for sure. Can you use Flail and hooked spear too ?
+DrH5N1 Flail is not allowed, and also not the hooked spear because of the spike. Stabing and hooking is not allowed.
Yeah so basically if you used those weapons they would be gladiators
Great ideal
So what's the point of hitting if you're considered out of the fight if you fall? Does it tire you out if you get hit or something?
I SHAAAAALL BRAIIIIIN THEEE!!
Basically just thumping each other in the head until they give up. Everyone should just carry big clubs it’s the only effective weapon in this sport. I think this activity has experienced the peak of its evolution.
HOLY CRAP 20:11
This needs slow mow repetiton of the best blows
I live inthe U.S where do i sing up?
Why de Russian hav Red/Yellow Shields wid Bears on it? Dats de District of Bern
+Martin Spörri Since Suvorov passed trough Switzerland with his Russian army :D
+MarkoJagodinac Dat make Sense. My Daddy always told me dat we hav Russian Blood ;) They were rest in our little Village befor de fight France in Dietikon.
+Martin Spörri Its Russian biggest reenactig club "Bern"
Yeeeaaas thear wer shree wimens...
Gotta love an eastern European speaking English.
27:46 that poor black armour guy......
Some people just want to wear armor. Low fighting spirit. Freezing like a pray before predators.
no formation? its straight up brawling with armor.
There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils AT Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on that Pepsi?
Need a better camera angle
+Marcin Stuglik correct, may be on quadrocopter will be better.
Hold the line men
I think the should incorporate like a blunt dagger for players that they must use to fully take people out of fight (not just if they knock them over)
still very entertaining I must add
+Root Beer that would be hard to quantify in such big battles
Still trucking somebody with a halberd is very entertaining
can you thrust? is it allowed?
+iCASH No thrusting allowed, kinda easy to take someones eye out that way
+TheKamakazipenguin I would also include vital organs in that list.
no spears I assume as well that would be dangerous af
Russia OP, please nerf!
+Lai Parco buff and up only:))))
USA did pretty good
Go the Czech Republic! Skoda ze neni Ceske kralovstvi za team... ^_^
Наши мужчины в России самые сильные Ура ура ура ура урааааа
The guy in plate armour at 27:44
Гуляй Россия !!!1 И плачь Европа.
Awwwww good times
how do they decide when you go down?
+nino71 When you actually go down I believe. I think it's 3 points of contact to the ground.
in which case wrestling would be more important than battering. There must be somo sort of scoring based on the hits you strike!
nino71 you know when you feel like you just can't stand anymore or you get knocked out
Про-русский, но во второй половине всё равно болел за украинцев
Георгий Сергеев Ты так говоришь будто украинцы это нерусские
DCP Gaming Если уже и решил сказать что то некое то хотя бы подумай...
Сказал бы хотя бы так "Ты так говоришь будто украинцы это не славяне".А так сказал как не грамотный валенок...
Игорь Баштин , ты ещё скажи, что поморы не русские. Хотя отличий там поболее будет, нежели в сравнении "русский-украинец".
Игорь Баштин Вообще-то русский это собирательное название восточно-европейских славян. Белорусы, россияне, украинцы это все русские народности. Сейчас их искусственно разделяют, но разницы между нами очень мало.

This arena is pretty small I think ?
It's like that to stimulate real(ish) hand to hand melee
Jason Pollock although entertaining, even real(ish) might be a bit of a stretch.....
Czech republic !!!!
Fog LP RUSSIAN EMPIRE
1:21:50 go pro helmet camera ! :p
27:47 this black knight is alive?
CZ is super
maybe the cameraman shouldn't have medieval camera training.
get the london look
wooooooooooo
Russia... WINS.
1:12:13 Hilarious
Russians are in almost every team - the interviewee from UK has russian accent, Israel team has fighters with russian words on shields...
славяне рулят!
as an italian i fell humiliated agains the russians knights =(
22:33 isn't it forbidden to take a halberd shot
На 1-21-40, где интервью, у украинца шикарный шлем с камерой....реальная реконструкция!;)))))))))))))))))
украинцы гоняют как кони! )) молодцы!!
sparring ground is too small for any real tactics, except - stand ground, smash halberds really hard.

Yes join the USA Knights pages on Facebook and head to the usa knights website to join.
Thank you!

Tanner Ramsey is the American team still in the botn if they are which category
Does anybody says the Russians always stand up again?
USA do good
I wouldn't be surprised if Russia used doping in this sport. Yes it's a sport.
+V-FOR-VICTOR of course! We drink vodka and training with bears:))
1:09:55 you my friend are not a American we dont say math like that LOL
the Russians kinda just tackled people...
And they stayed together more
Which is why they win
Вот по этому нато ставит ракеты у наших границ! Но не могут понять, что все равно огребут!
Хех, европейцы уже не те, что давно))) Все их толерантность)))
The strongest teams: russians, belarusians, ukranians and poles, basicly slavic region. If not fu*king politics we would kick everyones ass.
This camera man makes me angry. This is such a bad camera perspective. Way to close!!!
+Sebastian Pini there were not much place to stand in. List is quit small
Люди, было хотя бы раз, что русские проигрывали?
Денис Овчинников думаю, нет
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!

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...

+Akillesursinne to be fair I posted it around 3-4 times, I was just looking for some feedback...
Russia is always winning these 21v21 battle by 21 people
