  • I really hope medieval battles weren't fought like this, I'd hate fighting for hours on a battlefield only to see that NO ONE WAS KILLED ;)

  • Comment removed

  • expensive costumes

  • sombody could have died. kewl vid

  • Meu senhor, é muito donzelo nesse mundo... XD

  • virgins

  • To je ono hoši!!!!!!!!Špičatým koncem do nich!!!!!!!!!

  • so disorganized.

  • oh my god here come zee NAZI's

  • Where can I get some armor?

  • @ZackMyslinski --- z b r o j . 7 x . c z

  • @GHOST2924 It depend where you live, if you want real history re-enactment, just google it for your area, you should find something for the period you want, I'm guessing medieval. Medieval is one of the most popular, so you should find something. You then just need to decide what period within medieval you want, then go down and try it out, see what you think, they're all different, some are all about fighting some are more about making pots and stuff, so it's up to you.

  • @GHOST2924 It's not really larping, it's history re-enactment, you have to know your shit about history to join, and it's very expensive, the equipment is real, only blunt, most of the time ;) and you need to learn the tactics and so on. Larping is more ike D&D or Middle Earth role play. I know because I've done them both.

  • dobry

    

  • If war was like this today it would be amazing!!!!!

  • ¡¡¡ oooooh, la weá bacaaaan !!! ¡¡¡ yo kero participar en una weá así de chacal !!! ke buena onda, felicitaciones, ahi los locos han de divertirse ma ke la cresta, ¡¡¡¡ armemos una weá asi en Chile pos, cabrosssss !!!

  • You call it historical? Look at the guy with Mordor armour at 1:00. That doesn't look historical.

  • I'd like to see an Anachronism like a gatteling gun open up on them all at the end just for the video.

  • Aren't there too many knights in plate armor? Where is the rabble? Where are the peasants and commoners?

  • @colakarim They were all killed in last years re-enactment. :D

  • @SuperJogvan :D :D :D

  • @colakarim i ate them

  • @colakarim

    you can be one, if you fancy get hit with an axe to unarmoured body.

  • @Nowik1991 i do this for sport omg it hurts most of the time but fun as hell. i broke elbow last year from getting hit with a 2handed sword with no amour lol it hurt but yer fun. and i still do it :)

  • @colakarim

    At 0:56 you see at least two.

  • @colakarim

    Did you ever tried to absorb some pain by woolen cloth?

  • @m4galaxy you can.. it matter on how much you want.. :o)

  • Amazing !!! A++++

  • @bugxter thnx...

  • theres not enough blood, limbs, or dead people for this to be a reenactment.

  • Wtf no one is dying!

  • a battle would never of looked like any mordern day reeneactment

  • Christ! That's a lot of medieval warriors!

  • actually it'd be more fun and cool if the leader dude yelled "Charge!" and the advancing army charge into them =D

  • @shaunjedi but this dude is really dude so.. :O))))

  • Agh they shouldn't be clanging steel blades like that. You'd ruin any edge and make it totally useless. Blocking something with the blade was a last resort, and would have been done with the flat of it, and would have been more focused on redirecting the energy, not taking all into the blade.

  • i guess the real battles back then could have looked kind of like this only twice as fast and with more blood

  • @Alkhemist10 and not everyone would have been in full plate armor. they would have to have been one hell of a rich country.

  • @Alkhemist10 yeah your right cause the fields would have so much blood it would turn into a wetland for several days

  • lol nice!!!

  • @kolodej111 is there some kind of organization that does this kind of stuff? these guys look serious, looks like loads of fun!

  • Dam i would do work lol i would jump over the line of defense and slay them all!!!!!

    FATALITY for SURE!

  • so many swords bt no death at all!

  • so ummmmm.......who won?? i could google but im kinda lazy. Is it all presripted with who will win and lose or is there sometimes historical "upsets" with the past being rewritten....or something like that -_-

  • yeah lose an eye i think i see a guy going ow!! ow!!!

  • few wonders: first, how much these armor/chain mail/suit cost? second, why are people gathering here and waste entire afternoon on this "war game"?

    answer: these people people need to get a job...

  • @hanrinch The armor is very expensive and it is not easy to obtain it... my war equipment suit costed 80-100 ths czk so around 4000 eur... but we are not wasting our time.. it is hobby... you don´t have any hobbies? You only work?? I have a job and I´m glad to have sometimes free day for fighting.... What´s so special on it?

  • @hanrinch Man oh man, you'd be wasting an afternoon NOT doing this if you were given the chance.

  • boys will be boys...

  • there is a online multiplayer game like this and its 80 vs 80 there, it be a epic battle

  • @jayquan15ify What's the game?

  • 0:30 AH THE MINOTAUR! lol that guy is badass

  • @jrichca Maybe his armor look efectly.. but it is bullshit... In these times there were no armors like this... He may not be allowed to be in the battle...

  • I WANT TO BE THERE! XD

  • @ImperialGuard9001 If you want.. join our society ČESKÁ KOROUHEV on FB and stay informed.. this battle is hold every year... next year you may come..

  • Why are people so worked up about this? These people probably know the price they may pay for reeanacting a battle! They may get badly injured, lose an eye, or break a bone! It was there call! Sheesh!

  • I dont mean to be rude but it looks a bit wet coz theyre trying to kill each other (obviously) it dont seem to have much vigor but that might be hollywoods take on it

  • .48 niceeeeeeeeeee armor

  • why wasnt there any charge??it would be more of a battle than just walk to them running would make a huge clash that would made the war more interesting and more Rped though the armor look EPIC if i get a chance to Rp ima think of being a Footman with a spear and a shield and a crossbow on my back :F that would be epic

  • @zekerman123 Trust me, if you do something that, you are quickly dead... each side know that trick :O))...

  • @ceskakorouhev Well... Realisticly in any war people would run to clash or march but they were close why not charge? and having heavy armor like that in the blazing heat is a bit urgh but TO HELL WIT IT i would charge just to be knocked down to the ground with those sticks and batons

  • To ma być zabawa ale przyjeżdżają do nas na turnieje koledzy ze wschodu( Rosja, Białoruś, Ukraina) i traktują to zbyt poważnie i walą ile maja siły więc sam rozumiesz dlaczego chce hełm o tej grubości.:) Tą stronę od Ciebie będę miał na uwadze.

  • ładne hełmy ale blacha trochę za cienka -1,5mm. Przydała by się 2 mm lu nawet 2,5 na dzwonie.

  • @springenderteufel76 on ti udělá co budeš chtít, třebas 3 nebo 4mm :O).. stačí říct...

  • @springenderteufel76 @springenderteufel76 on ti udělá co budeš chtít, třebas 3 nebo 4mm :O).. stačí říct... to víš, u nás nešermujeme tak abychom se zabili ale tak aby to pěkně vypadalo pro diváka....

  • Nie. Hundsgugel już miałem. Teraz chcę coś odkrytego i dlatego szukam hełmu typu kapalin. Dzięki za tą stronę. Popatrzę.

  • Witajcie. Ceskakorouhev szukam helmu typu kapalin. Może u Was coś znajdę?

  • @springenderteufel76 you mean big bascinet with "Dog nose" ? We have several platners... for example try Pako on platnerpako . cz

  • I heard to die in this you just get the crap beaten out of you till you feel like giving up right?

  • @NuggetBlubber No... when somebody hit you by succesfull slash or pierce, you need to consider, if this hit could be deadly or not and then play a role of dying soldier or continue in fight... How much armor you can wear, you are allowed by others to surcease some hits... so if you were hit succesfully by somebody and you still trying pass through it and dont want to fall, then you are usually attacked by many with no chance on more succes or chance to fight and stand again ....

  • @NuggetBlubber we dont fence like russians or Polish... every man know when is time to die ! :O)...

  • @ceskakorouhev oh sounds fun then

  • that MUST have been fun

    

  • This is quite possibly, the saddest thing I've ever seen.

  • Ale jak coś to się odzywajcie:)) Piwa i miodu dla Was nie zabraknie!!!

  • @springenderteufel76 Tak někteří od nás přeci jen pojedou na Grunwald... Tak se tam snad uvidíš s mými kolegy... Každopádně bychom rádi s vámi zašermovali v Poznani... Tak napiš na info@ceskakorouhev.cz až budete mít nějakou akci, ale alespoň půl roku dopředu a my přijedeme.. Hoj do Polska !!!

  • Z roku na rok organizatorzy zaostrzają regulaminy i przestaje to być już zabawne:/  Zapraszam w odwiedziny do Chorągwi Pomezańskiej:)

  • Ja walczę w Chorągwi Pomezańskiej po stronie Zakonu NMP już 10 lat:) Szkoda , że tak wyszło bo może mógłbym pomóc ale teraz już za późno bo listy walczących już zrobione. Mój numer dla tych co będą: 511 792 599. Niech się odezwą to browara wypijemy za Wasze zdrowie!!:))

  • @springenderteufel76 Děkujeme za pozvání, ještě to zvážíme.. Od nás jede docela dost lidí, takže účast bude, nicméně všichni určitě nejedeme, máme vlastní akci v čechách.. Naštvalo nás tehdy, že jsme byli všichni zkontrolováni a obdrželi camrátka a na bitevním poli nás nějaký tlustý idiot nehodlal pustit do bitvy.. tak jsme odešli.. Dodnes mě mrzí incident s panem ministrem, kterého jsem postrašil svoji sekyrou... Posílám pozdravy a omluvu do Polska !

  • Zapraszamy szanownych kolegów z Czech do Polski na Grunwald- 17.07.2010!

  • Some of us are going on Grunwald, but they will stand on the side of teuton knights.. more of them will not come because of your organizers from 2006, when they don´t allowed our men to fight...

  • @springenderteufel76 Some of us are going on Grunwald, but they will stand on the side of teuton knights.. more of them will not come because of your organizers from 2006, when they don´t allowed our men to fight...

  • this doesnt looks real, i mean the fighting, they doesnt even try to fight like it would be for real....

  • i wanna do this

  • @jhuck96 : hey you can.. I´ve heard that in your country people do this..

  • We need Soldier NOT PUSSIES! SOMBODY GO BISURC AND START GOING 800s RAMBO ON SOMEONE!

  • @afrogunner3d they should charge not walk D< and lift their spears and shields and swords if they are gunna fight it be more realistic DDDD<

  • man, even with uniforms, it must've been so difficult to distinguish who's who in a battle. I mean, 0:30 look at that mesh! Most soldiers in an army didn't even have 100% matching uniforms, so they were pretty much just bashing whatever was in front of them!

  • @roktopus

    i was thinking that, im sure back then friends stuck together covering each other, making it a little easier to spot friend from foe. im guessing most of the warriors were hit unexpectedly from the side or behind, due to the helmets obscuring your view.

  • fake and gay

  • @tewfiftioscar thats why it is called a war REINACTMENT and btw molly is waiting for your human booster shot.

  • I Was In That War, I Was The Pikeman.

    AKA the one in the second row

  • Awesomeness.

  • Our Czech colleagues are to be respected and feared :-)

    They, like many Eastern European reenactors, are very enthusiastic but compared to Western European fighting somewhat more prone to 'accidents/injuries' - good examples include the mentioned arrow shot and the polearm waving at around 0:23 (in red).

  • This is cup of tea, but you cannot merge this with eastern fencers as in Poland or Russia, they are crazy ! They bush themself really as want to kill each one... We Czechs are somewhere in middle :O)).. we are fighting with strength but securly and to look like it is real because of visitors(viewers)... but believe me or not.. it is save... Take example in 0:40.. it looks like I´ve been kill him, but it was OK and nothing happened to him... we know each other and we know the right border...

  • and if you look closer.. the man in red have poleaxe with gum on it... so it is safe... Iam ratherly glad if somebody dont have the gum because of contemporary.. gladly to be slashed by real poleaxe than this one.. even more strenghtly...:O))

  • Notice its not "spear heavy" like SCA.

  • what do you mean this: "spear heavy" like SCA ?

  • IN the SCA "wars" you have it more like a Landscenackt Pike unit. About five spears for every sword and shield. It's mostly because it is thought you get more "kills" with a spear.

  • Yes, I know, we are using them too... 3 and 4 meter long pikes but together with pavises in first line.... but this battle shown on video was fought by the knights on top of the hill.. look down the hill and you will see units with spears...

  • i wander if anyone got killed in this i mean those are steal weapons and their swing them around if one dosnt block it, it will cut off his head

  • but it is not sharp... concretly this fight was really soft... everytimes somebody hurts bud nothing special.. only few exemplar examples can be found.. one friend lost his eye by crossbow arrow...

  • if a crossbow arrow hits your eye you can be damn sure your brain is damaged

    so..how did your friend survived?

  • The arrow was badly secured, so she lost her eye, but no brain damage ;O).. for god sake the crosbows are allowed wit winding to 10 lbs. and if this arrow was secured as it may be, nothing could happend.. but you know... and today? She is wearing slip on eye, armor and is figting farther... Good girl, good warrior :O)...

  • it's sad that that happened to her :)

  • Now THATS the type of woman I could marry! Fight on girl.

  • but they are not sharp... it is safe.. more than basketball :O))...

  • @kolodej111 what would make me worry are the Spears. even if theY#re blunt the still are pointy. if it goes wrong, one could loose an eye(if not more).

    but its still cool. especially that so many are parcipating in it.

  • @kolodej111 lol k :D

  • @DJsharp707

    I do this myself and the weapons are indeed quite blunt. Getting hit by a 'battle-safe' sword is like being hit with a steel bar. Sure it hurts, but it doesn't cut.

    Also when fighting, at least in my group, you aim for non-vital body parts. Head and groin are off-limits, for example.

  • @ItchyFlea1 i would just like to know, as i am considering joining my local group, what sort of rules are in place for these games?

  • @DJsharp707 You would be surprised how safe this is. Everyone is careful not to deliver a blow that could actually hurt to an unarmoured area and as Kolodej said the weapons are completely blunt. To my knowledge nobody has been killed in reenactment recently although you will be hard pushed to find someone who has been doing it for more than a few years who hasn't been injured somehow.

  • @DJsharp707 You think they'd ACTUALLY ALLOW Sharpened Steel Weapons?... Yeah. There Blunt. Even so, your still wearing real Armour, so it doesn't hurt... I guess?. Meh. Never took part in one. Looks like an AWESOME battle anyway :P

  • @warboss3000 stil say u swing it at there neck and they arnt protected there it will bruise or cut the main artery idk lol but looks sooo much fun!

  • @DJsharp707 The weapons are real indeed, but if you notice the weapons arent swinged in any "tecnical" or "professional" way, to be able to even cut your oponent it would talke time to even hit any part of his body, and to even hit you have to not swing it but you have to try to empale your oponent and as those swords are "shortswords" they dont have that kind of hability" and the spears are swinged carefully.

  • @DJsharp707 lol, like this would be legal if they were real weapons...

  • @DJsharp707 and most of them are im fully steel plate armor. it would be difficult to even scratch them let alone take someones head clean off which even without plate armor is hard to do when randomly swinging a weapon around

  • light simulated fights ...

  • Yeah....

  • i was there in 2006 ... greetings

  • really? And where are you from?

  • OMG that looks dangerous. I mean just look at the guy with the Halberd! Cool tho

  • yeah... some guys are really dangerous.. but most are rather cautious... we dont want to die, you know ;O))...

  • so how do you decide whose gonna be a knight and whose gonna be a lil foot soldier coz everyone would want ot be a knight right?

  • It is very expensive to be a knight or even noble man... so normally as it was in the middle ages there are more soldiers than generals... :O))...

  • besides the lousy costumes and fake acting and unrealistic settings and terrible swings,this looks pretty good

    btw if this was real,in the middle of battle,how do each soldier who knows on their side?everyone looks different and i dont see some kind of uniform in them

  • in the middle ages there were no uniforms... the units recognize themselves by crosses on their dresses and by the coloured circles on their helmets... but this battle was mix of all middle ages times because it was no reeanactment but only a fairy tale....

  • swing harder! xD

  • I did ! But i was one of few.. if you look on the video I´m the tall knight with big axe and armet helmet and i cutt head off to the knight on the left with the blue feather...

  • hahah i think i saw you. did you charge the guy with the blue feather while he was killing someone else that was on the ground? and start hacking him?

  • yes... it is tactic :O))... I´m most of time when I´m killing man they did not realize that I´m charging on them... So I´m the bad guy ;O)...

  • If somebody want to see it on real or even participate on this you can.. But you need to have qualified equipment to be admitted into the battle and rules are strict.. so i suggest for first year try to visit Czech republic to see the battle on real and choose to meet wit us to talk about it etc...

  • where can i sign up for this!!!!

    that looks like fun

  • this is fantastic and there are hundreds of you well done guys from britain

  • even thousands... sometimes... but that´s rare... If you want to see it on real, you can... You will be invited with honour... it is on St.George´s day on 23.April...

  • @ceskakorouhev maybe if i can make it to your brilliant country

  • I´ve heard that fly tickets are very cheap to czech republic...

  • this must be so freakin fun to do. Don't give a crap if people take the piss, it's awesome. but is it all like, coordinated? Or do you just die when someone puts a sword in your 'gut' XD

  • as you say... wen somebody slash you to jour gut, jou are dead... It is cooridnated, yes, but only in the way as "..the left side of army will loose.." or something... but that´s all :O)))

  • how do you know when to die

  • there are unwritten rules... everybody knows when is time to die... when somebody cut your throat or slash you in to the head, there is big probability that you could be dead in real.. Guys in full plates or heavy armor can resist more bites but you know .. if somebody don´t know the right level, other will teach him :O(... :O))

  • sweeeeet

  • Dude this looks bad ass!

  • As a kid I used to LARP but now when Im a few years older Ive been looking for something a bit more hardcore. Ive seen fights from vyborg and I cant say I like what I saw. People got hurt real bad too... If I wanna hurt people I wouldent waste money on armor and a sword, then I would buy a gun.

    But THIS video on the other hand show a more true picture of medevil reenactment I hope! :D It would b fun to go 100% too but as long as its done properly and with sane people..!

  • yes.. we fight safely than eastern fencers.. but sometime shit happens... you know.. if you want to try it, go with us on Libusin, but be prepared that you can be not allowed to concerned in battle because of your inventory, but we can communicate it before...

  • Ofc shit happens! Im very aware of that! Thats why I want to find safe events like Libusin where I can meet sane people who dont want to hurt anyone for real.

    Speaking of inventory, do you happen to know where I could find good quality equipment? Before I make up my mind about going to Libusin I have to know what this would cost me.

    What I belive I need is: Gambeson, helmet with faceguard, gauntlets, harness with shoulder plates, sword/short axe and shield(or hillebard/long axe)?

  • you can find it for example on the Libusin, every manufacturer from Bohemia will be there... helmet cca 80eur for good helmet (i recomand hat or cap) , maybe few plates150-250 eur, but not full and not necessary, only wool warshirt (we call it warkoč), leather boots (but with no ribbon on backward), and wool armor under plates, spear with ball on the end, maybe sword and little hand shield, wooden spoon, leather or wool bag and you will be excelent spearmen for start...

  • If you want you can go to fight with us... but you must travel to Czech republic on spring last year... This battle is usually on st.George´s day.. in village Libušín near city Kladno near the capital Prague... you are welcome...

  • Nice!! a very real feel to it.

    Hard to imagine that no one gets hurt though.

  • In this battle was only one with broken leg, but because he badly fall and they found him under big hill of corpses, sometimes some minor bleeding, but few horribles.. There is one girl which lost one eye thanks to shot from crossbow.. but she is going usually to the battles even now, but with ligature (or how to call it) or tie over eye and she fight like most man don´t know...

  • i know but at least in this time period people were very polite unlike in the world wars some guy runs up behind you while your already in combat and slits your throat heheh

  • i want to come =(

  • so you are welcome... This battle is usually on st.George´s day.. in village Libušín near city Kladno near the capital of Prague... search for our group Česká korouhev...

  • good reanactment,in terms of size,never seen a medieval one that big,but armies on that period were much more organized,single lines,same armour for each regiment,but i guess that the closest you can get.....

  • Go Czech man what great renacment I would so love to be there

  • It is possible to be there... so be prepared next year on st.George´s day to be in Czech republic and war.. I can send you some invitation if you will be still interested... you can also stay in our camp and maybe fight with us...

  • Hey, cool videos but some mistakes. When you move out, you need to move out much slower, step by step in a shield wall. The front ranks just hold the shields and let the guys behind you do the hacking over your heads at the enemy. Just hold shields, don't charge, your team will last longer. Also, when the front man falls, the rear man can lift him up and keep shoulder to should so none break through your line. You will be astonished how a 20 men shield wall kills 60 disorganized men easily.

  • Awesome video. The medieval reenactors here in the U.S. are nowhere near this.

  • no to je !! prča :O))... když se člověk rozeběhne do davu nepřátel a boří davy... to mě fakt bere...

  • try to run in 70kg armor...

  • 70 kg armor? Lol man do You have any armor? The weight of a gull plate armor of medieval knight is up to 40kg. And running with in it isn't such a hard thing.

  • yes I have an armor and because I´m 7 feet high and have fullplate and i usually taking to the war axe, 2 swords, morning star and two handed sword i have 205 kg together... and if I weight 135 kg so my equipment weight 70 kg..

  • DOn't even make me laugh... lol

  • I can send you my foto in full armor...

  • Send me an email and I will send you my foto...

  • i dont get why they dont start 50 yards away with a huge charge

  • It should be more about theatrical combat than dress ups.

    Where are the specacular, pre-rehearsed duels? The intense action?
