brutal reenactment,

[Ingwar32]

This is what we, russian reconstructors, call Bugurt. All weapons are real (metallic), but not sharped. Armor is strong enough to withstand almost any strike (most of it is made by their owners, so injures are rather exception than a rule).

There is one main rule of such battles: you fight until you fall on the ground, so fight goes on full force.

Men know how to have fun, not like women...

@Patatofagos All the weapons are metal.

0:56 omg -_- i thing that guy in the middle just got an axe on his head ....... are those long axes metal? very cool festival by the way i would love to see that up close, not to close though :P

@Kenjineering ya, he got hit on the knee for sure, i guess his knee protection slipped too low during the fight. i keep hurting my poor sparring partner in the knee too, he feels the hit THROUGH the knee plate though and collapses lol. i got hit just above the knee in the tendon where there's no muscle to soften the blow and i got a nasty purple bump the size of a golf ball. that one looked serious though, possible knee surgery. we train hardcore rus style in toronto Ontario if anyone interested

That blow to the leg at 3:03 would have hurt so much. No wonder he collapsed to the ground!

Hahaha In fact in real wars fought more unarmored with pitchforks guys than full armored like them just look at this it was hard to kill someone.
