- The "medieval full contact" is probably the most violent sport we know. Indeed, it's all about destroying the face of your the guy in font of you with a blade, a lance or any weapon that happened to exist in Europe 800 years ago. We asked our reporter Sylla SainGuilly to go to their annual International tournament called "Battle of the Nations" and see what's up with the fighters and their peculiar role playing gamelike, rightwing fan base.

![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 24 วันนี้!! “จาร์เร็ด vs กุสตาโว”](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ENNA-fsT67c/mqdefault.jpg)
"They organized a 50 v 50 fight...just for fun"--that's the absolute best part of this!
There's a 150v150 match too!
They do like 150 vs 150
reporter: your in the united states army?
guy: no I am a marine
most american thing ever
Guero_Me ikr
So the marines don't like their own military?
Taxro marine,army,navy,airforce are all branches of the military
So they make a bid deal out of not using terms "army", "military" and "armed forces" synonymously.
Taxtro no, "military" and "armed forces" are fine it's because the Army and Marines are two separate branches of the military and since they both do ground combat they've had a brotherly feud since forever. (Soldiers are army, Marines are, well Marines)
This needs to be a Olympic sport
Battle of the Nations is basically the Olympics of the sport. In the US, there is only one tournament to decide who gets to go to BotN, but in countries with more clubs, they have more tournaments throughout the year. My dad may be going to Russia this year to fight in one of their tournaments.
Yes it does!!! For more information on the BOTN Team USA, the captain is Anthony Lynch and you can contact the team at facebook.com/groups/IToCinfo/
Look up HEMA here on youtube. It's existed as a sport for quite a while. It would be sweet if more people got involved and it actually got considered as an olympic martial art.
the only difference that i have managed to find between this and HEMA, is from what i understand HEMA is supposed to be more historically accurate. and from what i have seen from this and other videos is that this (BON) is just guys in a pit beating on each other with sticks etc.
personally i would stick with HEMA... which imo would make for a better sport
I bet the guys in this video would be laughed at if a real medieval knight were here to see them do this today lol.
I came expecting LARPers hitting each other with foam sticks. This, however, was pretty cool.
can we use this to elect presidents?
Best idea I've ever read
Poor Hillary wouldn't stand a chance against the Trumpdozer.
Vulpes Inculta You mean fat and obese. Anyways, he probably wouldn't do well against people that would actually JOIN in the sport, not hippy liberals.
Lmfao, these people.....
Trump could just hire an army to fight for him, wouldn't need to actually be there to fight personally, just hire the best to do it.

Nop. Unless they bring back gladiators fights... Roman style.
+paxas03 like legit weapons though
Call me an edgelord, but I'm with the Game of Thrones approach here. As long as the participants are there voluntarily, let the fighting pits be opened!
+Krawurxus lol Democrats would be be love no they cant learn to play wrieght
+paxas03 Gladiators never killed eachother and used blunted weapons. Only rarely would the organizer of the fight sacrafice a perfectly good gladiator. It was similar to this.
One funny thing I have noticed is that of all the people saying that the USA, having not existed in the middle ages, should not have a team in this tournament, no one is saying anything about Belgium, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Israel, Ukraine, Belorussia, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina, none of which existed in the Middle Ages either.
Also, if the tournament were only limited to medieval nations, how , exactly, would that work? The borders changed often. Would we just pick one year and limit it to nations that existed then? Would we only allow people who come from the modern versions of those nations, or would we say that people who live within the medieval borders must form teams representing those medieval nations? Can anyone see anything absurd about this?
+New York Knights Combat People have opinions on things they don't know about, let them do their thing and you do you. :)
Wtf ? Germany and Italy existed in the middleages as the holy Roman empire of German nation since the 9th century
The modern nations of Germany and Italy were each unified in the 19th century. There was no "Germany" and no "Italy" as a national identity in the Middle Ages.
Sei g ll
Wrong ! The Germans got their name from the Italians way before the 19th century they named us tedesci which was translated to teutsche today Deutsche the country was relatively unified under the rule of king Otto II who is considered as a founder of the nation look it up
This is awesome, we need more medieval things like this! It's a harsh sports but it still a "sports" right?
all the weapons are potentially lethal, but the armor they use is effective, and they take care to only hit the strongest parts of the armor when they hit full power. so, yes, its sports, they put some serious dents in each others armor but when someone gets hurt its not intentional.
kurtilein3
The officials make sure that the weight and length of the weapons are appropriate so as not to be lethal.
surfergirl0519
i visited a dealer who sells these weapons several times. he is in prague, in the Czech Republic, and works directly with the manufacturer. the edges are not sharp, the weapons are heavy, the tip is quite pointy, and the quality requirement is that they never break and that the handle is well-designed and that the blade cannot detach. they are checked for a solid build and appropriate design. if a sword feels like the handle is too weak, or if the blade of an axe might detach from the wood, it gets banned. the weapons that pass the inspection are still absolutely deadly if used against a person without armor. it is still easy to split a skull open or to stab someone through the heart or neck, while comparable in force to a baseball bat the 2mm wide blade and the pointy tip can cause much more damage on impact. i have held these swords and a friend of mine has two of them, you can totally kill a horse with these things.
kurtilein3 Interesting.
kurtilein3 are you speaking with experience (on the house part)

i know i'm french, but the anthem is much more war and violent insurrection like than speaking against monarchy, there are other songs of this period for that ;)
It's not anti-monarchial. When it was written, France was attacked by coalised nations of europe. The "féroces soldats" (ferocious soldiers) are the prussian
know your shit, Gor Gor.
This footage was recorded at the 2013 Battle of the Nations tournament held in Aigues-Mortes, France in May. I was there with my dad who fought on the USA team. If you guys want more info about Battle of the Nations or Team USA, I'll try to answer as best as I can.
Here's a link for you USA people. facebook.com/groups/IToCinfo/

hm per entry
I was wondering why some people had those poll axes. Those things looked brutal. Do they do more damage than a sword?
How did the Belgian team do?
tummy lice the plate probably absorbs most of the shock but just by looking id say the extra leverage gained from the long handle would increase the damage of a full power strike if executed properly.
Now THIS Is something I would pay money to see over and over again

French dude: "Praises republican anthem and it's anti-royalists ideals"
Same dude: "Praises nobility"
Bruh
marylbc many frenchmen nowdays and such as me are ok for the monarchy but not the absolutionism
Damn the french, theyre the ones who contracted the moral syphilis known as liberalism and spread it across europe. Aristocracy is for trve right traditionalists.
The anthem isn't really anti royalist, the lyrics are about fighting the ennemies of the revolution, but it was written by a man who supported a constitutional monarchy before Louis XVI was executed, the ennemies of the revolution in that case were the nations of Europe that went to war against France fearing the spread of the revolution.
2:46 "im gonna hit you softly" BLAM! blasts him in the head, fucking hilarious.
They had a medieval full contact expo at a festival I attended last year, though on a smaller scale, it's every bit as brutal as it looks here. It was great fun to watch.
One thing's for sure after watching this: the Medival Ages were freaking hard times. I can only imagine how real battles for life and death could look like back then.
"Geo political issues" Moron these guys just want to come out fight, and have fun. No reason to bring politics into this.
The True Vigil liberals love bringing politics into simple fun
Actually, that's the point of the commentary, which you just misunderstood.
Watch the whole video. He changes his opinion.
I love the bond there was between the Russian Special forces solider, and the Marine, goes to show that we are all soldiers doing our job, and we can be friends because we know the struggle!
the biggest knights tournament is each year in Schloss Kaltenberg, Germany. its a big show and they do the tournament on horseback. and all the stuntmen and performers train their riding skills and knight skills in Spain and France. the weapons are real metal and the blades are not sharp, but they hit really hard. without the armor, all the weapons are lethal and much more dangerous than a baseball bat.
holly crap, i actually recognize one of the fighters, at 56 seconds in, i dont know his name but he is part of the EMP or empire of medieval pursuits, we do a very similar style of combat except the majority of the time we use rattan, although there are some groups that use steal weapons
How do you know these guys are the right kind of nuts.
They organised a 50 vs 50 melee just for the fun of it.
I love their mentality.
Absolutely love this and hate that it didn't become fashionable till I was in my 50's.I want to play!!!
Does somebody know what Black Metal Song is playing at 5:56?
Quick question: Is it expensive to take part in this? Cuz you probably have to buy armor, how much does the armor cost?
Brilliant.You guys managed to pick up a theme about medieval fighting, and your video is mostly about Quebec and the French Governmental System. What the fuck?
I love that medieval American Standard.
i dont get how it can be a spor tthough? how is there a clear and defined way of who wins and looses? is it about oponents getting knocked out, or tapping out, or when you can overwhelme someone 4 to one?
For anyone wondering, the song that plays while they are fighting is "Evil rise - Yussuf Jerusalem"
I'd watch this over UFC
These guys definitely aren't using any technique or weapon skills in this, they're just shoving each other and beating each other with blunt swords and whatnot. I wish there was a version of this where the guys were actually trained in hand to hand combat with medieval weapons...
Highlight videos of combat sports have a tendency to look that way to those who don't know what they are watching. What you call "shoving" actually does involve technique, not just in the best way to "shove" someone and remain standing, but also to be in the right place at the right time to "shove" the right person to best help your team. And believe it or not, there is a skill for "beating": someone, and a science as to when, where, and why to do it. Check other videos of the Battle of the Nations. and try to find an organization in your area. Put on some armor and give it a try. Then you will see how much skill it takes.
this isnt a movie were their doing a pre orchestrated fight this is a real dirty full contact fight
considering youre "out" if youre knocked to the ground then yes, theres shoving. the hits are more meant to either intimidate or destabilise your oppoenent, then you go for a "shove" to drop him. historicly if you fell on the ground in a fight like this, you were pretty much fucked. what did you expect? youd get wrecked in a heartbeat versus these guys.
New York Knights Combat I agree that HMB takes skill, but there is still a difference between HMB, SCA combat or something actually meant to represent historical war like HEMA. HMB is based primarily off of the medieval tourney and melee, and is on a point system. Likewise, SCA combat is based off of a strike = kill system. The amount of skill and technique for each to work in their given setting is staggering, and the effort HMB fighters put into learning, training and then fighting is huge. This in no way changes the fact that HMB simply does not match historical technique (although I argue this is a good thing. After all, historical techniques were intended to deal with armor and kill the wearer. In this sort of event, perhaps striking the armor and toppling the opponent is a wee bit safer).
Burn....
What's that song playing sometimes? Around 6:25 for example. Can anyone tell?
What is the music they use when they fight
I hate that betas like the reporter stole the undercut.

what's the sound track for this documentary?
7:11 is that Children of Bodom - Lake bodom in the background? ... or does it just sound a lot like it? o.o
Yes! That is 100% lake bodom. Sorry this is 9 years late xD
Actually it is open to women, has been for two years now.
Hida Toyatota It wasn't in 2013, which is when the footage was shot.
50 v 50 "for fun" starts to kill eachtochter
8:08 Did he just say Spetschnitz? Obviously he was referencing Spetsnaz, but that is the damn funniest pronunciation of it I've ever heard!
Anyone know what the song at the end is.
Looks fun, but that music is annoying as fuck. And did a guy at 8:40 seriously use a poleaxe? Someone's gonna get killed.
My husband uses a poleaxe. The armour that each person wears must be inspected and deemed to be suitable to withstand blows from authorized weapons. Thus far there have been no critical injuries and far less than most other sports.
surfergirl0519 I see. I thought heavy weapons like that would be off-limits.
***** "anti armour weapons" nop. Poleaxe is not anti armour especially if used as a bashing implement. He's using it like a big axe rather than a polearm. Crush damage over stab damage.
Using a polearm like a "big axe" is a very effective method of crushing armor and the person inside it. That's why poleaxes are shaped like...well...axes. If the weapons that hit me in the head and put deep dents in my 14 ga stainless-steel helmet were sharp I would have died out there.
then don't let them have sharp ones? sounds fair enough to me
how did they kill people wearing suits of armor back then
a lot of the time they actually didn't, a decent chunk of combat was about incapacitating the enemy and then ransoming him back to his family!
Dara McKeagney how nice of them
specifically if you had a sword you could use the half swording technique to help you attack the joints in an opponents armour, or by grabbing the blade of your sword and striking them with the cross guard to cause a concussion or break bones, or hook them with the guard and grappel them to the ground, but you could also use a club, warhammer or mace to beat your opponent into submission then take off his helmet and stab him in the face with a dagger
They also mainly used blunt weapons in battle, such as maces, which would do far more damage against plate armour than a sword. Lots of broken skulls and the like.
Also, they do not allow piercing weapons (for obvious reasons).
Does anyone know which song starts at 5:55?
Evil Rise - Yussuf Jerusalem: th-cam.com/video/Ir0wufwfIbk/w-d-xo.html
which team won battle of the nations 2015?
TheElderScrollsKing Russia. That seems to be the rule.
This is mad entertaining
>tfw a guy thinks whacking someone in full plate with a sword is going to do anything
>tfw you realize that's everyone here
+Richie Demo Is it realistic? Hell no. Is it fun? Probably.
+Richie Demo In singles, what it does is score points. In melees it cna really bother the personinside the armor, knock their brains about, knock them ioff balance, etc. And is a sword won;t do enough, you ca use a falchon, and axe, a mace, a polearm, etc.

Only men can play this!
Not true there is actually a big group of women who are in this sport.
Yeah, there are plenty of women who fight in HMB. There are categories specifically for women as well. Though here in Australia, we tend to do mixed gender as well.

So to be counted as dead in a huge melee, you have to either fall or get restrained in a corner ?
A lot of the soundtrack is by a French band called Yussuf Jerusalem. They have two great albums.

This looks brilliant. All team sports are just recreations of combat anyway, why not have the real thing?!
Seeing this, I don't understand how people managed to kill each other in medieval combat. They're hitting themselves like crazy and the only injury there appears to be is a broken foot and some bleeding. Were the equipment back then just really poor or is it just that the axes aren't sharpened in those kind of recreational combats?
Thanks for the answer, much appreciated.
+Clowndoe Mostly correct, except we are not necessarily encouraged to aim for the "strong parts of the armor," we are encouraged to wear strong armor where we are likely to get hit. ;)
I wonder if half swording or using the pummel and guard as a mace would be allowed in the 2 handed sword fights they had armor in at 6:08
+Harley Thor i dont think half swording is allowed since you do not want to penetrate your opponents armour
+Harley Thor thrusting in general is not allowed, thus no half-swording.
+Harley Thor
Half swording? Are you nuts? That is basically attempted murder.
+King Dormak the chromosome expelling forniphile There were tournaments in the middle ages in which blunted swords were used and thrusting was not allowed, like here. Thrusting is not allowed because when the object is to knock someone down, and you are not counting points, there is a great possibility that someone could run into someone right when a sword point is being thrusted at a gap in the armor (like the armpit) and drive that sword through that person's body (just to name one potentially fatal possibility).
One of the objectives of the sport is to enable the fighters to be able to fight as hard as they want to and not have to "acknowledge" anything that does not have an actual effect on them (as opposed to pretending that something happened because it's what would have happened if they were using real weapons).
You are perfectly free to hold a sword in the manner of halfswording, and to use such techniques as you can by doing so, as long as you don't poke anyone with the point.
+Harley Thor Pummeling is perfectly legal in this sport.
Best sport ever
Just curious.
I am well aware that in medieval times, women did not fight on the battlefield except for highly desperate/unusual circumstances.
Hell, I even hear that Joan of Ark was pretty much a symbolic figure than a fighter.
But I don't get why the competition is not open to women.
It's... just a recreational sport.
Nobody really gets hurt and there are no nations on stake like real warfare.
BTW, If there is a safety concern that specially apples for women, I'd understand.
ZURATAMA1324 I think there is a women category since 2015 (all vs all), but it's not for everyone. It's very brutal sport as you can see.
Makrelacz
Thanks, mate.
+ZURATAMA1324 there were a few women in 2014 already, and has Makrelacz said, it seems they've opened it to women this year. But even if women are allowed, there probably never be as many as guys, considering the muscle mass necessary to wear those armors. For the safety concerns, I don't think they differ from men, they probably just don't need the cockpiece. I've met a woman in the belgian team, and she used an armor borrowed to one of the guys if i recall correctly. luckily, she's kinda like Brien of Tarth, size wise
Because women are generally smart enough to refrain from subjecting themselves to the same testosterone fueled foolishness
+ZURATAMA1324 because woman aren't stupid beings fighting on baser urges.
“im going to hit you soft, ready?”
rung his fucking 🔔 😂😂😂😂
what was metal playing in the beginning?
sounds like burzum but idk. 100% black metal though
"Woman are not permitted on combat, this makes it the best sport on earth."
Hell no
My question is, is there Scandinavian Viking teams?
I saw a Danish flag but no Vikings :/
Viking armour wouldn't be protective enough science the best technology they had in the Viking era would be chainmail and a helmet that protects the top of their head
This is about 400 years after the vikings settled
Too late, vikings had virtually no armour
How i join
Just watching this, i cannot even imagine how gruesome it wouldve been watching hundreds of thousands of men fighting with their lives in this type of combat, except without this armor... Just wouldve been breathtaking.
I'd love a time capsule to see how these battles really unfolded. This is cool but seems unorganized and silly.
+eluxsus0195684 Probably because their goal in this video is to just pummel and hurt each other to the ground rather than kill. If killing was meant to be, then there would be less of swinging and hacking, and more stabbing.
There were also a lot less armor back in those battles. Having full-plate armor like the guys in this video was super expensive and almost exclusively used by knights and nobles which was a very small percentage in terms of soldiers. When it came to the big clashes between infinity i think it would be a terrifying sight, many people slipping in mud and getting trampled down. Screams of horror, pain and death mixed with stink of feces, piss and blood/gore. It would most likely be so tight of space that you couldn't swing your weapon properly, and the occasional one on one fights would only lasts a couple of seconds until one of you that got stabbed/slashed would have to bleed to death or choke in the mud while people step on you. It would be really fascinating to watch a real historical battle unfold, sure, but i would not want to watch one up close i think.

This looks so FUCKING AWESOME!!! It might be the inner nerd in me talking but this just seems like a good ol time for a bunch of people from a bunch of different countries to get to gether, fight, and have drinks. Can anyone tell me if it's ok to go to this if I don't speak french? I can wait until I learn but I really would like to go this year.
Does they actually gonna die in the battle? Does the weapons kills you without an armor? Does their weapons are constantly dangerous?
