Thanks for the comment. I hope you enjoyed the video. The SCA is experimenting with steel combat. The use of wood has allowed us to do full speed full contact fighting with minimal armour and injuries. We also do not allow grappling. As with our all WMA sports there are compromises since we are not trying to harm our opponent.
Ofcourse but you can fight full contact with steel and it can be safe for you and your opponent. You need to change some parts of armour as You know to made it but only then you can try your "full speed". It is extreme more difficult to fight 3min with steel sword and heavier armor and also hit your opponent ;) I think it's closer to "historical" fight and trully shows "how does it works". If You like look at my films and other guys from Poland (hubbafi,Giro04,rymcerz) how we fight. Greetings:)
Wood, wood, wood...
