This is an awful and dangerous idea. |

Interesting. If I was much younger and fit, hmmm? |

There's a few places near me doing this sort of thing. The guy we meet up with in the pub on Friday lunch-times has just been showing us his latest injury for being daft enough to go up against someone half his age and twice his size! |

I like how the person they show for the video in the "Now Playing" queue lower down the page has big bruises all over her arms. |

A few years ago I took up fencing. Had a 12 year old take me apart. Small target and very quick. Don't know if I'd do any better against these people. But it looks very cool. |

Looks interesting but it is a shame about the modern gear. They do a similar thing in Eastern Europe but they are a bit more hardcore…. YouTube link |

"A bit." Yeah. No rules that I can see, so not the same approach at all. Just armor up and slam the other guy anyway you can manage. No finesse. No technique. No historical connections that I can tell. And, you too can get your brain concussed. I saw a guy get whacked on the base of the neck from behind, two-handed blow landed full force. He didn't get up or move. Guy that hit him just moved onto the next one. It looked deadly and very stupid…. |
