You are welcome! I really enjoy allowing fighters to see themselves and share with those that are unable to attend!

evet gerçek, bu tür bir spor aslında onlar tarafından bulunmadı zaten vardı.HEMA adı altında yıllardır yapılıyor hatta ülkelerin savaştığı turnuvalar falan var. ama türkiyede 0 ilgi görüyor böyle şeyler maalesef.

He was hit clean more than once

I think HEMA, among many other differences, is focused more heavily on fighting that would be used in a life or death, more realistic scenario. SCA's tournaments are probably more like what you would expect a tournament style might be like. Regardless, HEMA's intent is to be historically accurate, it's literally in the name. Combat for the SCA is for little more than fun and exercise, and so the fighting style sacrifices historical and situational accuracy for what is most effective in its own environment.

The SCA is a very large group that is around the world, here is a link to where you can find what kingdom your in, and the nearest park to you. sca.org/geography/kingdom_lookup.html

Sorry for the late reply, and I don't think I 100% know what you are asking about, but shield "bashing" isn't a legal move, and even if you are in a lax environment, only sword hits count anyway. So if you charge in with your shield, not only will refs call you out, but your opponent will likely wrap your leg or side anyway. Also, while tripping definitely isn't allowed, it's totally OK to hit someone in the back of the head, provided they are on guard and otherwise facing you.

The one I see around that time was on side and high while receiving fighter was pulling back. It would've been too light, regardless, but rules at that war is that side of head doesn't count for thrusts. Has to be face for head shot.

at exatly 6:00 you can see the yellow fighters body move rather far because of the impact of the thrust, is that still too light?

AirSoft and Warhammer is not "cool". Join the service and make a man out of yourself.

The one fighting Earl Daffyd (with the 2 mooses on shield) wearing the green? If so, that is Centurion Rosalinda, forgot who she is squired to.

It's not as though it's impossible to break through mail rungs with a hard enough blow, it's just not the best move and it's not good for the sword. And although, for consistency's sake, everyone is assumed to be wearing a mail hauberk and a Norman style cap, the actual fighting style is a recreation of Medieval tourney fighting where the goal was to land a good blow, rather than actually kill your (often fully armoured) opponent. Actually fighting armored opponents to the death requires a much different fighting style that, like you said, involves many much more thrusting and use of blunt force weapons, as well as typically much more grappling than most SCA fighters tend to like to do. Although grappling is legal here, as well.

Ambient Relaxation Ahh, thank you for the information on what they're trying to actually simulate :) I know, two armoured opponents fighting to the death with swords is completely different from unarmoured people in a duel.

+dablop1 Np! All of this info isn't really readily obvious from just watching it. Has a lot to do with the organization's history and the various functions and purposes the fighting is used for.

Agreed.

+DukeTomuki LOL :)

Thanks Gõcauo. Vivat Trimaris!

+Gõcauo Ramiriç Thanks so much, added to the description

+Anonymous surfer Yes and no. There would be far more aiming for unarmored bits if it was too heavily armored people with bladed objects in a duel. Preferably though, both parties would be carrying maces or poleaxes. I would refer to stuff like Battle of the Nations, but that still isn't spot on.

BJ Fowler I don't expect 100 percent accuracy because we know that people trying to kill each other would be much more deadlier but i just want to make a mental picture in my mind about how the olden day combat would have looked like. I browsed through the "Battle of Nations", it looks like an unorganized bar fight, i mean no cool stances and precise moves, with good costumes and much more bashing, overall not even close to what Hollywood portrays. I wonder if the real combat is much more similar to that but more intense and bloody. And the combatants will be in full adrenaline rush and aggressive with no intention of giving up easy but still will those look like unorganized bar fights?

***** Most of those fellows are likely in a brigandine -a plated jacket- and wearing a surcoat over it. Real medieval combat is hard to define. You mentioned mail; mail is remarkably hard to get through. A simple slash from a sword will almost never do it. So many historical techniques such as push cuts and draw cuts are rendered useless if he is in head to foot mail. Rendering your options to cutting where the mail is not...or stabbing through it. That being said, you are correct in that these fights would probably go faster in an actual medieval fight. Reason being, neither party would be using a sword as their primary weapon -barring some exceptions. If it's two knights fighting each other they're both likely to be carrying poleaxes, if it's two foot soldiers their primary weapon will likely be halberds. That way the padded armor and mail of the average soldier is less of an issue.

Of course, butted mail has been found historically and it is generally much easier to "cut" through. You're less cutting it and more bursting the links. However, in this cases those two fighters look to be rather well off Men-at-Arms or perhaps even knights themselves. So butted mail would be unlikely on these people, riveted being what they would have probably worn.

Well broad swords were invented for the purpose not so much of cutting but for also placing a lot of blunt trauma to armored opponents. They can still cut but the real damage comes from the bluntness. I have a set of real mail and out of stupidity I let my friend take a broadsword to me. It feels just like a baseball bat although I did not get cut, it hurt. I would imagine a lot of fights would be a matter of beating your opponent down until they slowed down enough to get a killing blow.

You can do that, as long as you have something covering your kidneys, knees, elbows, wrists and appropriate head gear.

+Thomas Jones id be super sexy

Adam Freeman I don't doubt it ;)

From what I could see, it bounced off the top of the helmet. That is exactly what the curvature is supposed to make a weapon do. That's why there are no real clean cuts that are aimed at that part of the head with a weapon like that.

+BrandonJ TheBJ when it connects with enough force. different groups have a different opinion on this level. Some groups hit a lot harder and require to be hit a lot harder. And some people will call a lighter shot if the technique was really nicely executed
