( EX:@7:02) EDIT Here's another one of a battle between NZ and France (who has there very own mountain on there team) [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB7FP0v6bY4[/media]
My favourite was one match where Aussies were vsing Americans, one of the Australians just charged the American captain and knocked him onto his ass just be running into him might not have been American, can't find it but I remember seeing it.

[QUOTE=Joem1k;52413901]is it this one ? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dzj14PTvsc[/media][/QUOTE] Don't think so, I don't remember the Australians getting fucked so hard. I didn't see it on youtube, it was a webm on 4chan also [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxQR5haqTs[/media] It's like mount and blade bannerlord gameplay
[QUOTE=Joem1k;52413901]is it this one ? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dzj14PTvsc[/media][/QUOTE] There's something hilarious and fun about seeing American knights in red, white, and blue heraldry. It's like Civ 5 come to life or something.
Are they using real weapons for these fights? This looks so real and I'm wondering how no one was seriously hurt during these fights.
[QUOTE=JackDestiny;52414037]Are they using real weapons for these fights?

Also you're not trying to [U]KILL [/U]The other person And there are loads of referees watching making sure it's safe
[QUOTE=JackDestiny;52414037]Are they using real weapons for these fights? This looks so real and I'm wondering how no one was seriously hurt during these fights.[/QUOTE] Weapons are blunted (a lot, they have a 2/3mm edge iirc which is many many times thicker than a real weapon) and stabs I believe are not allowed, so there is practically no danger of penetrating injuries and less risk to the eyes and face. This means it's basically wrestling and whacking people until they can't stand - so not very realistic when it comes to actual medieval combat (where, in this type of full armour, combat was all about stabbing into gaps in armour, though admittedly grappling was a large part of that).
Whats the full rules here? People that get knocked down are out it looks like. If a ref touches you with the yellow pole you're also considered dead? Or is that just disqualification for breaking another rule?
[QUOTE=JackDestiny;52414037]Are they using real weapons for these fights? This looks so real and I'm wondering how no one was seriously hurt during these fights.[/QUOTE] The weapons are blunt and they wear armour on top of heaps of padding. I actually saw a video where a guy passed out from overheating.
so it's like Endurance Weapon Wrestling with a medieval theme
