K I'm a HEMA practitioner and I just wanna say this to the other HEMA practitioners on here... This is not supposed to be a real battle. It is a sport that uses medieval-esque armour and weapons as a means to that sport. No one is claiming this is real warfare. It's just a bit of fun. They fight for the rules they are constrained to, and their tactics to that end are effective.
What if they mad like the ultimate nation fight 300 vs 300 in huge castles, catapults and archers haha. A big war lol. I think i've been watching too many movies
I can see an Irish team doing very well at this with the right leadership :) Were the home of great fighters.....unfortunately i heard the team doesnt have enough members to participate :(
Nah, just not very effective. The other team will pound it from the front with their polearms while their runners will go around the flanks and attack from behind.
3:46 this little thing in the left down corner is such a nice thing so see. This happens very rarely in other sports. 12:27 In football they go down because someone was touching them a little. Here they hit each others with steelweapons and they enjoy it. But why do some russian guys use the coat of arms of Bern ?
send request for war against neighbouring country to respective king, go to bar and distribute lots of alcohol, distribute also lots of promises for cattle, horses and a pair of chickens, send email talking trash about neighboring country beer, expect them at previously mentioned border.
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 It is likely that real medieval warfare may have been similar to this in high clusters of men. A downed opponent is a dead opponent, and when your opponent is a walking tank of steel like a French knight, you obviously have better chances of killing him while he is down and crippled.
the other guys are correct. The object, being to put the other guy to the ground, is based on medieval rules, and there are plenty of "skill" things you can do to accomplish that. Some competitions have had "kill the king" as a scenario, but the techniques are still the same. So yes, w do bring mma/jiujitsu/wrestling/judo skills into this, as well as muay thai, kickboxing, and contact sports like American football into this, but there were techniques in the old manuals that closely resemble those that come out of these sports and martial arts. But adding the weapons and armor brings a challenging new dimension to the game, so it's not as easy as just "dressing the team up in armor." And those teams that are strong with the weapon skill and battle tactics as well as martial arts and contact sports skills are the ones that win a lot.
Well Rico, You fail to understand this is tournament, called buhurt by the competitors. Although death and critical injury happened during medieval tournament, the goal was prestige and competition, not death. This is not open warfare.
This is interesting but they need new announcers. These announcers are fucking bush league... Better to have no announcers, and just write the country names on the screen.
Strategy? What strategy? It's every man going off by themselves against anyone with the other colour. There is no team work, no shield wall, no timed flanking. And how is it scored? Why not just throw away your weapon and hip throw the guy to the ground?
I think I have a new favorite sport
Uncoiled Foil so dis i
I like the Russian guy who doesn't even use a sword. He just alternates between punch and knee-strike.
slav instincts
also they are from croatia not from russia
he breaking the rules you cant fight back with out a sword
well... is not allowed to use *sharp* swords... so you must make your opponent fall.
Белорусы красавцы! На 20:00 аж растрогало. Респект парням!

DeadpoolWWW pennsic
Granted battles are in the thousands sometimes there..watered down version of this but still very similar
the marshalls couldnt see any rulebreaks anymore and it would end in many deaths
6:44 Skipping has been known to scares enemies into surrender :-)))))
Holy shit, the pole axes and polearms. They have gained so much respect from me. Easily the most effective weapons in real hand to hand combat.
Yeah those Voulges really seem to work in this kind of fighting.. I'd still rather have a shield tho..
All bout dat lucerne warhammer
I would bet they are banned, but it really makes you think that a large warhammer would be brutal
You know whos the most badass guys out there... the referee.
But... But... THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!
Why cant we destroy all guns and cars and just use horses and swords again, where killing your enemy took skill
This is fucking brutal. Bread & Games for all!
Организация офигенная!
12:15
Friendship ! Friendship ! Friendship ! Friendship !
Honestly if the announcer never say, I'll never know whos fighting who. Its good to add a team card on screen before a match, just a thought.
The upgrade from larping
Adoro essas tretas!
I can see an Irish team doing very well at this with the right leadership :) Were the home of great fighters.....unfortunately i heard the team doesnt have enough members to participate :(
i like how the comentators make no attempt to give any sort of explenation of whats going on.
I wish Canada had a team!!
Make one :p
parker simpson I'm 15 bro
JetLag I'm sure you've got some hockey in ya, you'll be fine
Proxyy7 I do lol and 6 years of mma but I'm still under aged for it im pre sure
***** Skallagrim?
I liked how there was a red and green cataphract standing out compared to every other Belarus soldier
Ist Perfect! I would fight for sure. Do someone know, if i can play this art of ,,Sport" in Germany?
what does it take to get a live stream and have a public viewing in germany?
17:00 "Fighters are raping eachother."
Dude I'm laughing like hell lol
наши просто звери! всех забили
Знаешь , все воюют пытаясь не сильно ударить противника .
Украинцы и россияне жестоко друг друга избивают )))
The definition of hack n slash :)
Russian perfect work and good tactics!
This is real mens sport! ✌✌✌
You guys gotta work on better camera angles
So the sword battles are still alive
Тактика белорусов называется "обнимашкииии" :)
I guess a shield wall is too boring for them
Nah, just not very effective. The other team will pound it from the front with their polearms while their runners will go around the flanks and attack from behind.
It looks to me like one player could defeat every single knight with Kenjutsu. If he was sober.
2:33 amazing throat takedown by the Italian, too bad he got elimitinated in the process :/
What are the chances of death?
how much weight are these fellas putting on?
40-95 lbs
Is hitting the legs illegal ?
Nope. Just the backs of the knees and the feet.
3:46 this little thing in the left down corner is such a nice thing so see.
This happens very rarely in other sports.
12:27
In football they go down because someone was touching them a little. Here they hit each others with steelweapons and they enjoy it.

Nice
how do you join?
send request for war against neighbouring country to respective king, go to bar and distribute lots of alcohol, distribute also lots of promises for cattle, horses and a pair of chickens, send email talking trash about neighboring country beer, expect them at previously mentioned border.
you have to find a team in your area and ask to join, most often they accept new members.
God damn why are Russians so good at everything they do -_-
except for ruling a country
ruling of russians? u must be kiddin, u should try it lol
Andrej Podrabinek You from Poland?
Christian French since 1917 it’s not ruled by us...
Попов блин концовку рассказал!))
I squint my eyes everytime someone gets double-teamed
Поначалу подумал нас затопчут...
So many guys choose swords even though polearms knock 'em down better.
Russia by far the best team work
Deus vult!
do we have 500 v 500? that would be chaos lol
RidiculousJ if we would have 500v500 we need big ass area and that would be epic if they make charges
9:40 He dead!
anyone notice the amount of Spanish shields in the Russian team ?
Obviously a group of wrestler can beat out every team in this competition. It has nothing to do with wielding a sword or a mace but tackling people.
+Onur B The one on ones are better to watch.
when you after that tournament money in mount and blade...
I want to see a 50 vs 50
CursetheVandal i wanna see 100 vs 100
Блин, 2014 год, и Россия vs Украина... Там наверное обстановка не очень дружелюбная была, аж обидно...
Not bad, but I was expecting something else...something better

This is interesting but they need new announcers. These announcers are fucking bush league... Better to have no announcers, and just write the country names on the screen.

Makes sense. Certain tactics are used for certain situations.
+Tony Smith hitting the other with the weapon on the head can make him dizzy and lose balance and fall down :) so its good to have a sword and shield
Поначалу подумал нас затопчут...
