video is from the Battle of Nations tournament
quote:
The Battle of the Nations is an international historical medieval battles world championship, first held in 2009, in Kharkiv, Ukraine and held in Europe, in April, every year since.
It is a full contact competition using metal weapons and a standardized list of rules. National teams compete in several standard events, with all being full contact - no stage reenactment battles are included.
quote:
The tradition for this combat/competition has largely come from Russia, where enthusiasts have held previous events where full contact "battles" of large numbers of armoured combatants, are held, often in historical sites. The emphasis is put on the combatants wearing historically accurate equipment and heraldry, and the use of appropriate weapons for the combat.

This is kind of what I imagines the tournament melee in GoT to be like. Wasn't that impressive to be honest, but it's still better than that bullcrap with padded swords and shields.

We should have death row inmates do this for our entertainment.

How the frick are they not killing each other when they're smacking each other in the head with axes? The helmet doesn't prevent the impact.
