  i went to wizard summer camp and have witnessed people break their wrists, dislocate their knees and get heat stroke from sword fighting. never question the dedication a nerd has to the larp.

  First one actually looks like how a fight between two knights would turn out like, I think. One guy just drops his sword and starts bashing the other guy's head with his shield. You can't really slash him if he's wearing plate armor, but you can still bonk him half to death.

  Hey so, this sport is called buhurt! And I am a buhurt fighter. I love fighting and have been in more than 2 fights, after the first fight you just want to get in and go again. No weapon is 30 lbs that would be impossible to wield in kit. Kits cost $1500-$12000 it just depends on the blacksmith and the intricacy, this also depends on time period and if you get it second hand. You&apos;re right there is not a lot of money in the sport, we pay for all of our travel out of pocket. Buhurt fighters who take care of their equipment and properly pad their helmets experience significantly less head injuries and concussions than football players. For such a violent sport, there&apos;s a lot of care for safety and love for other fighters. <br>Also the reason some fights continue on the ground is because there&apos;s pro fights, melee, and several duel variations. Thank you for bringing some eyes to the sport! You&apos;re video was fun even if you called a kit a costume ;)

  Actually in medieval time using hand to hand vs someone with a sword was an actual thing. Because grappling someone and throwing them to the ground can be more deadly than a sword hit

  Can we all just appreciate Danny&apos;s dad look? The stubble? The cardigan? The clearly-no-sleep dad eye bags? He&apos;s rocking this look and I hope that baby Danny will be king of the gregs someday

  Hi Danny! I used to be one of the knights at Medieval Times. I assure you, we got injured plenty, mostly because of the horses. The sword fighting can be safe if people know what they’re doing but not everyone did, so there’s always the risk

  This sport is rather safe from what I heard, but it does hurt quite a bit. The weapons are blunt and generally you are &apos;out&apos; once your knees touch the ground. It&apos;s also actually based on an actual medieval sport called buhurt which eventually lost popularity, before being revived in Russia some time ago.
