- We in buhurt armored combat, wear our gorget wrong. Neck protection like this is great to protect us from strikes, however a serious accident is just waiting to happen one day. We don't stab. but there are plenty of injuries from cross guards. This safety evaluation isn't too far off.

I did not realize buhurt didnt allow thrusting.
i think the name "buhurt" kinda means "booo!, hurt!" meaning they didnt like pain, thats probably why they wore those things.
Great vid. Usually these low view vids are not my tea but this time it is as i love history and especially military history from all times.
Thanks for watching and for your great comment 😀
My brig has a tall collar, when my head was forced down when I was grappled, my throat was forced directly on the brig's collar plate, full weight of a guy shoving my neck down onto a 1mm plate. Had I decided to fight through the pain instead of drop and surrender I might have been in serious trouble. I was in terrible pain every time I swallowed or yawned for 2 weeks but now I'm better with no permanent injury. Invested in a better gorget to stop this from happening again.
Are you removing the throat plates from the brig? I haven't seen many brig's with throat protection. Who did you buy from?
OMG! I can totally picture how that can happen. Glad you recovered 100%.
This is my titanium brig from Arma Moskovia. It's just how it was made. I should show you the back of it. It's literally the bare minimum plating lol. I only wear this for sword duels. My melee brig has what you're talking about plus it even has curved collar bone plates.
The plates on the collar bone are sooooooooo important. I have a metal plate in screwed to my collar bone to prove it. Don't make my mistake. The gorgets in this video are great. Make sure it covers the neck and collar bones. There are some that only cover the neck. Those aren't good for buhurt. Great video my friend.
Great point! And thanks for sharing your experience for others to make educated choices. Glad you have recovered 🙏 and back at it !!
So why do most medieval combatants wear the gorget on top?
I think it's just because that's what the person who taught them, showed them what to do. It's just such common practice from seeing everyone else do it. But it does make it so much more easy to be able to just take that off and cool off between duels or melee rounds, than it is to have to remove half your armor then put it all back on again.
Yeah at the end of the day it's just a sport. I wear mine outside of my brig. It's very nice to vent between rounds. Most tournaments you fight multiple fights. Knowing how to stay fresh between rounds is part of the game for sure.
In history they didn't. It was very important to have your gorget under your breastplate and whatever else so that your neck is always protected.
@102ndsmirnov7 Nope. Looming at actual medieval armor and art, it's pretty clear that gorget are often worn on top. Breastplates even have stop ribs that rest under the gorget or before to stop the kind of thrust issue pointed to here. Other breastplates have locks to hold a bevor in place on tje outside, it's quite common. I can tell you, from 35 years of armored fighting...I've worn gorgets on top.amd under...getting hit on tje gorget week it's under sucks a lot more. I actually had my sternum separated by an SCA arrow that hit my bib gorget a few decades ago and that sucked. There are advantages both ways but hits on the gorget are a lot safer when it's on top.
