They used to play a game where 2 men would drink, then each hold 1 end of a pole & take turns hitting each other in the head with swords until one gave up or got knocked out...and they never gave up.

[@coloradoretreats]

The spasms and not moving were an indicator.

[@whichDude]

0:49 Is just terrible job by ref. Guy is not watching at a good angle, and is in no hurry to get a better vantage point. Especially since 1 fighter has mounted the other, and is now delivering hits to a grounded oppent. Very obvious to us viewers/camera how bad this was because of our better angle, so its refs job to actually try to keep a good eye on things instead of just staying way back and barely moving.

[@kyru_art]

It's hilarious that the ref waits for the guy to stop beating an already knocked down opponent. He was like, "I ain't gonna deal with that armored dude wielding a sword."

[@alexrehak5564]

Might just be a habit to let him beat the dude for a longer period of time, since the helmet reduces blunt force trauma, so maybe there is a chance for the dude on the ground to actually recover.

[@kostasdoukos1182]

that I was about to write. wtf ---- he tried cut his neck!!!

in other sports like Buhurt they have a brightly coloured flag on a pole to interrupt. The refs push the flag right into the fighter's FOV and everbody stops. Even in HEMA, which is with modern gear and less blunt force, refs usually have a wooden staff to put between the fighters if necessary.

I bet this is closer to actual knight fights back in the mid evil times then the well choreographed majestic fights we see on L.O.T.R and G.O.T

[@ANGST.ARGENTINA]

Kinda similar except the "training since I was 6 years old 16 hours a day" and "my skill is so high from basically almost dying twice a week".

[@lilith4961]

@Paul Bevan yea I was wondering about this too since the main way you tried to kill someone was by finding a gap in the armor and stabbing the person there

[@jaya3301]

There was likely a bit of both. They did have varying armor / weapons "systems" and tactics so there was definitely some level of battlefield complexity (not just hordes of people running at each other and eventually piling on top of each other).

[@Voodoo_Robot]

@@lilith4961 nah. More like bashing him unconciuos, then taking him prisoner and demanding ransom from his family. Fuckin noble.

[@deepflake9214]

Against an opponent in armor you wouldn't use a sword, but a blunt weapon (including the handle of your sword if you don't have a dedicated blunt weapon). Then you would try to smash your opponent with your blunt weapon. And if you end up on the ground, which would most probably happen, you would use the knife you always keep to try to find a gap in the armor and stab your opponent. Then, up until the battle of Azincourt where the English broke most of the rules of war which applied back then, you would try not to kill your opponent but rather kidnap him to ask for ransom money (if you had the money and right to have an armor you were noble, period, because warfare was the nobles' job). The English killed all their French prisoners, which was the most perfidious and honorless thing one could do, and killed chivalry.

[@connorjaneu3021]

That's what it used to be like when it first started, but it wasn't entertaining to watch to guys stand inches away from each other smacking each other's legs to see who could reach the score limit faster. So they've been tweaking the rules to make it more historically accurate. Notice how they now try to cover themselves with the shield as they strike, and they grapple. Those are real medieval fighting techniques. You strike with sword and move the shield with your arm to protect it and your body, and when you can, get your opponent on the ground. Much better than what they're still doing on Battle of the Nations. But, if you'd like to see truly elegant medieval swordsmanship, look up Swordfish Longsword. HEMA is a rabbit hole that's almost to good to get lost in.

[@yarus5889]

Connor Janeu as neat as M-1 is, the techniques are far from any HEMA practice

[@jyggalag0077]

the rules in that time of combat are different and since they are covered in armor they have to let go much more hits

[@ThoseWhoHeedTheCall]

i can see this being dominanted by MMA practitioners. When weapons are rendered useless. Things like wrestling and Jiu Jitsu come into play. After all, JJ was designed to kill or cripple heavily armour opponents.
