@@spookysock there's a reason Buhurt weapons have weight limits, can't thrusts, and don't use properly constructed pollaxe reproductions: they work too damn well. That leads to two very different ways of fighting. I don't like the Buhurt style myself (though I can appreciate the athleticism required of it), which is battering the other into submission, tenderizing them through over-engineered, overbuilt harness that's been sport-optimized rather than historically accurate. An armoured HEMAist doesn't go for mighty crippling blows, they go for documented techniques and to use the weapons they way they were actually used, primarly to jam a point where there is no plate, while wearing historically-accurate harness that often doesn't nearly have the same plate coverage as a Buhurt kit.

Have you ever been hit by a sledgehammer? A good punch in armour can have the same effect.

[@Lurklen]

Agree, this would have ended very differently if those stabs to the back of the neck had a point on them and gone through, injuries to the neck like that mean the other guy would likely gas out quick, he was totally open. I think that's one of the limitations of this kind of reenactment, in this case it goes to technique in a point system, or who can just take the most punishment in something like this, but the reality is those weapons are meant to execute enough force to avoid or curtail the latter result, if you can get the opportunity to use them. Fight becomes a different thing than we can (or really desire to) simulate when someone is bleeding out from multiple stab wounds to the neck.

Man now i wanna see knights duke it out in fist to fist fighting

[@mattjack3983]

I like his brigandine. Thats my armor of choice.

[@thegregitto]

Ayyy I see you there Osoto-gari, being all sneaky

[@Melanias_Consort]

Fun Fact: Larger people were often given opportunities to join the kings army, and also given highly decorative armor to invoke fear and intimidation. Most people back then were generally shorter, so having a giant man fully clad in black decorative armor was considered healthy to have. Not only will his size and strength easily incapacitate the opposition, but it launches psychological warfare, similar to the masks of samurai. Any normal size human could look at that knight, see a mace, and know his swing is going to break your armor like glass.

So much better than watching blouse fencers pretend their swords are lightsabers and "killing" with weak touches.

[@justas423]

Imagine a taking knee from an armored opponent. That would be brutal.

[@dequitem]

There is a fights on my channel were I end the fight with a knee to the face.

[@TheGreenB1rd]

This short did a pretty good job telling us how deadly armored foot fighting is, imagine the whole battlefield are filled with these guys smacking each other with lances on horseback then ended up wrestling around on the ground 😅

[@dequitem]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@josephstalin9575]

Now imagine a whole army that size, but instead of a sword and full armor they have axes, hammers, and lots of psychedelic mushrooms… basically the Norman Conquest in a nutshell

Full armored Knight vs no armor militia: fight last 1 second per militia Full armored Knight vs full armored knight: 3 business days later

[@freedomholland1455]

2 complete different fighting styles. And i`m 100% sure a skilled knight would out preform a buhurt fighter.. if they stick to their own rule set hahah. But buhurt is more fun and we can eat crayons.

[@dequitem]

If you like duels more than Harnischfechten is more fun, but when you like teamfights there is no alternative to Buhurt!

[@guardian2-735]

Fantastic fight. The buhurt fighter is the one with the brigandine, right?

[@dequitem]

Your are totally right. I am the hema guy in shimmering plate armor

[@guardian2-735]

@@dequitem 👍

[@smelywalebob306]

How often do these things just resort to a punch up

[@dequitem]

Around 1-2 of 10 fights.

[@czlowiekwidmo121]

these dagger stabs seem pretty dangerous!

[@jankarieben1071]

Refreshingly excellent full armor fights! I love this channel! 🍻❤️🤺
