Coffee & HEMA: Understanding the Protest Rule

The Coffee & HEMA series examines a range of different topics in Historical European Martial Arts. I try to make a point about an important area in the time it takes for my coffee to brew in the morning.
In this video I delve into the "protest" rule that is used in Wessex League and Albion Cup. There are a lot of misunderstandings about it by people who don't use it, so I go through some of the benefits and issues, and why I have run events both with and without it.
All opinions are my own, and are based upon my several years of experience in running clubs, teaching classes and organising tournaments.
If you would like me to cover a particular topic in a future video you can submit a question here:
