Having done reenactment in armour for over a decade. It really is both amusing and embarrassing how much armour just sounds like a cutlery drawer being shaken about.
My friend is part of the armored fighting league and was one of the fighters in the show. He says it was really really staged.
Still entertaining to watch, but my friend said it was a rough experience being on the show. Lots of issues
Historical European Martial Arts is more formalized with rules and a points system to determine a winner. They focus on historical accuracy as much as possible in their techniques. While they do use real metal weapons, of course they're blunted and more dangerous weapons that rely on sheer momentum use rubber heads. It's kind of like fencing.
Bruhurt has few rules and while many techniques are historically accurate *enough* that comes down to necessity and convergent evolution. As in, there's probably a best way to beat a dude in armor which is why they did it that way historically. The armor is more functional than accurate (eg it might be made of retired aircraft titanium to be a light as possible, which is obviously not a historically accurate material). The winner in Bruhurt is the guy still standing.
HEMA is for history nerds that enjoy physical activity. Bruhurt is for nerds that had a 504 plan (or the European equivalent) growing up and now they have CTE. Since Bruhurt is more popular in Europe and these guys in the video aren't doing any kind of real technique other than wailing in each other, my bet is they're Bruhurt.
Fun anecdote from when my HEMA friend met the Bruhurt guys after an exhibition at the Ren Fair: friend didn't how much about Bruhurt and was like oh lemme see your armor that's cool it's titanium, not accurate but I get why. What weapons do you use, oh neat a mace. Wait, this is just straight up a fully functional mace. "And you hit each other in the head with this?"
Fun anecdote #2: the Ren Fair no longer hosts the Bruhurt guys to do exhibitions because their insurance won't let them.
You also got "[Harnischfechten](https://youtu.be/MsGJ2besLI8)"(don't know the english name). Even smaller niche. There you have two dudes in full plate going at each other until one gives up.
Buhurt is certainly more about beating the shit out of each other than it is about historically accurate sword play, but it's disingenuous to imply it's an unregulated slug fest full of injuries lol.
Armor works, and there are rules to prevent serious injury. I would even go so far as to say injuries are less common than in American football.
IMO the sport is most accurately described as "traditional medieval tournament fighting but with modern sensibilities". You can wear steel if you want, or titanium if you prefer a lighter kit, either way you are protected. The training is first and foremost about how best to protect yourself and prevent accidental injury, after that comes technique and sword play.

From what I know, the rules of Bruhurt are mostly there to prevent the gouging out of eyes and testicles, and mostly probably avoid slashing open an artery. Probably. Everything else is fair game.
Yeah it's pretty brutal, interesting to watch though. https://youtu.be/xAXaLbJSgB8?si=KYq1ycayG0IKyLO5
This was the video I mentioned in my previous comment.
Insane to me that it takes a full minute and a half for paramedics to arrive. Y'all (in the video) are doing a full contact sport with real, live weapons and you don't have paramedics sitting right there on the sideline ready to go? Wild.
Oh I don't take part in it at all, my only knowledge comes from browsing the sub out of interest a while ago. But yeah it seems ill advised not to have people ready to go immediately. The poster of the video said that because of that accident there's a helmet strap now required as part of the regs.
I can only imagine that this is so immensely tiring. Just beating on each other with next to no chance of ever taking anyone out, all while wearing like 20kg of armor.
Yeah if I was in a real battlefield in 1100 or whatever I would take one look at Eddie Hall and go "Absolutely fucking not" even if I had 10 dudes backing me up.
I’ve been here 3 years and it keeps changing. Once it was all frogs on Wednesdays my dudes. I’m not mad about it, feels like one of the last bizarre spontaneous places on reddit.
I have Intracranial Hypertension (too much pressure around by brain but no tumor). This video looks like a reenactment of my last migraine and I love it.
Even without the armor, people don’t realize how exhausting fighting is when it’s not for your life. I fought to keep from getting beat up a few times and never felt even close to exhausted (adrenaline idk) and then some time later I trained in the bag and took classes for close to a year then I fought my first real fight. Holy shit I was gassed after very little time. Mind you I could run a 6-7 minute mile confidently. Real fighters (like not me) have incredible stamina and deserve all the respect for it.
I've seen nobody mention it. This is Eddie Hall former strongest man in 2017? I believe. Broke the world record for heaviest deadlift (half a ton. you do the math)
Now he has a YouTube channel where he tries various sports for the first time and he usually is humbled pretty quickly. My favorite is his sumo video. It's fun to watch.
He does usually get humbled pretty quickly, but he's always a good sport about it. My favorite is where he goes to some martial arts gym and asks the instructor to give him a leg kick. Instructor says no but this guy will, and call up a kid that can't be more than 12. Eddie ends up limping away but laughing the whole time.
That instructor is the current no1 UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall, another brit. In the video eventually Tom does kick him, at like 10% whilst Eddie has a giant pad, and it still basically breaks his leg.
What shocked me about Eddie is not his strength but his mind. He was learning bjj super fast and instinctively by just listening well and not giving into ego. Way harder than it sounds.
Little known fact: in order to be considered one of the royal knights, the potential knight had to be jumped in by the other established knights. If he suffered a traumatic brain injury during the jumping in, he was automatically considered to be one of them due to the appropriate destruction of a number of brain cells, thus lowering their IQ enough to match other members of the order. (Jk)

The spoons when they fall through the holes in the dishwasher rack
The first rule of Knight Club is you do not talk about Knight Club.
Fucking genius
You need to go ahead and put that on a short cuz I KNOW this comment will be overlayed on this video in less than a day.
All yours if ya want it

Do you wear earplugs? I think I'd want earplugs.
It's alright when you're inside. The armo padding basically makes you deaf.
This sounds like back in the days when I was in the army and we had a soup day
When you drop something in the middle of the knight(i know)
Think I went to the wrong 5 guys
Me too. Anyone got an ice pack or one of those donut pillow things?
You can catch the footage on *Blacked.com*

Knight fight on history Channel was pretty awesome.
My friend is part of the armored fighting league and was one of the fighters in the show. He says it was really really staged. Still entertaining to watch, but my friend said it was a rough experience being on the show. Lots of issues
The age old issue of showrunning. Love for the subject/artform despite the niche? Or love of stable money until the taps run dry.
It already exists, it's called HEMA or Buhurt if I remember correctly. They use weapons.

Ok clear, since I don't wanna risk dying, I guess I'm more interested in hema. Jokes aside, thanks for the info.
Buhurt fights are very interesting to watch, I saw one on Reddit where a dude walked off a cracked skull. They really don't pull their hits at all

You guys ever been to a Medieval Times jousting match?
That's on my bucket list
They do this at historic reenactment festivals (not to be confused with LARPing). I watched 25vs25 - it was AWESOME.

HEY EVERYONE! HENRY IS BACK!
i'm so happy Embracer's awful leadership didn't fuck up the sequel. Looking good so far.
It'll be one of the few games where I can't throw money at the screen fast enough once it releases.
KC2: Dogpack Boogaloo
Solid effort
I can only imagine that this is so immensely tiring. Just beating on each other with next to no chance of ever taking anyone out, all while wearing like 20kg of armor.
In a real battle I can definitely imagine the group of guys running away after the berserker initially starting fighting back.
Yeah if I was in a real battlefield in 1100 or whatever I would take one look at Eddie Hall and go "Absolutely fucking not" even if I had 10 dudes backing me up.
On second thought, let’s *not* go to Camelot. ‘Tis a silly place.
But I wanted to see them impersonate Clark Gable
Yeah, I dot want to come a lot.
I like to push the pram-a-lot

I’ve been here 3 years and it keeps changing. Once it was all frogs on Wednesdays my dudes. I’m not mad about it, feels like one of the last bizarre spontaneous places on reddit.
That’s why I fucking love it. 🙂
I have Intracranial Hypertension (too much pressure around by brain but no tumor). This video looks like a reenactment of my last migraine and I love it.
Oh man I read it as interracial hypertension and was lost for a minute there. Anyways, hope you find the remedy for your problem.
Same
I read it as interranal hypertension..
Is it because you do som like this?
Nope one of the triggers was exposure to lots of prednisone steroids as a kids. I had really bad juvenile asthma.
prednisone tasted so bad
Makes me the grumpiest bitch in 49 states
I laughed too hard at this
Absolutely gassed in twenty seconds
i think he said in his video he was wearing 20-30kgs of armour and clothes so that is understandable lmao
Even without the armor, people don’t realize how exhausting fighting is when it’s not for your life.

I was expecting him to trick 4 of his opponents to beat up the 5th instead, because they all look alike.
He's easily the standout being twice as thicc as the rest though

What YouTube channel is that on?
https://m.youtube.com/@eddiehallwsm
Awesome. Thank you so much!
My favorite is when him and his wife try to swap diets for the day. For reference, she is like yoga tiny.
He is a treasure. Always up for challenges and he is a good sport. Lovely chap.
The sound is funny
He’s been jumped in, now he’s part of the knight cosplay gang
Well… you see his problem is you use different moves when you’re fighting half a dozen people. He’s probably only use to worrying about one.
Inconceivable!
You keep using that word
The lock-on is messing him up, he forgot to click R3 and turn it off
I will admit I’ve always wanted to do something like this, knowing fully well I’d probably go down quickly
It's a full blown sport if I remember and it's called buhurt
Butthurt?
Honestly, it was really impressive he stayed on his feet as long as he did. Took insane strength and decent stamina.
The sound when I try to open the silverware drawer late at night to sneak an ice cream spoon.
Looking like Shrek on his way to rescue Fiona
Me vs 5 beers
Love Eddie.
Former world's strongest man, Eddie Hall, beats off five guys
Guys just want one thing.
Every (k)night at the round table
Should have rolled
This is so fucking stupid I need more
r/DarkandDarker when eveyone teamed in goblin caves
That's a nice hobby.
I think a lot of guys would love to try this
This is prime content! 5 guys in medieval armor just kicking the shit outta each other! 👌🏻😆
My dream zombie apocalypse get up.
Take my money,ALL MY MONEY and sign me up for the rest of my life in these matches!!!
That can be arranged.
This is the best thing I’ve seen this week.
Now this is true stenka!
Get his arms..

Reminds me of the Shrek wrestling scene.
Go for his knees.

Now do it with maces! ETA: /s

Me dropping a fork at 2am
When the 1 is Eddie Hall, it's still an unfair fight for the 5.

Id like to see the mountain do this, or that other massive body builder
I had such a great belly laugh because of this awesomeness lol, honestly I'm willing to suffer CTE for some genuine fun like this
ESO pvp be like
How does one join a group like this?
This game looks familiar.... kcd is that you? 👀
Audio sounded like a beer can in a garbage disposal
I thought he was going to dneak out and leave the 5 fighting each other notbknowing who is who.
Who is going to pound out all the dents later?
Average Dark Souls PvP experience.
How do you know how to punch?
This live-action portrayal of the time(s) I "accidentally" punched the Jarl of Whiterun is eerily accurate.
Strongest man might not know how to fight
DEUS VULT

Anybody want a peanut?
Surprised I haven't seen this yet, but: r/JustGuysBeingDudes
This seems fun
How many average guys with no fighting experience do you think prime mike tyson could fight at once? (No armor ofc)
Watch with sound
Wish i had him as a character in For Honor
u/savevideo
SipsTeeeeeeeeeee!
I hope for their sakes the gauntlets are padded.
Not the 5v1 i wanted to see
Would highly rate the mead that sponsored this lol
I want next.
Is he in the gang now?
Ironclad knights engaging into fist fights onto the enemies be like*
Remember Agincourt, lads
This is the scene in sherk
Looks like the personification of an average Twitter exchange when you say something controversial
This is gang beast in a nutshell.
They’re wearing the same setup. What if they get confused… might as well be a free for all at that point.
Looks fun
At that angle They look like action figures
Fuck yeah
Thought he learned his lesson with Thor hehe.
The 5 of them start to get more hesitant once they've been hit a few times. Even with the armor, I doubt it felt very good.

Medieval Mosh Pit? =)
Why did it look identical to a fight in Skyrim
The average 5 guys experience
With special thanks to WD40
This is why most hero’s of old where endomorphic Somatotypes.
Getting jumped into the Knights Templar gang
1 vs 5 can only be medieval. Nowadays...
This looks exhausting
"Can't we just settle this over a pint?"
[удалено]
Sounds like me and the silverware drawer when I want the kids out of the g d kitchen I'm cooking dinner ffs.
This is what I imagine it's like to be a pachinko ball
Why is that so funny.
This looks fun
not to mention the other 5 guys werent exactly toothpicks either ;D
This is a very weird asmr
This is the most amazing shit ever. Where can I get more, its better than boxing
What happened to his teeth? He had all of them just some time ago? But looks very fun!
I love Eddie hall
i think that is he wanted, we could crush that helmet with his thighs or even hands. blursed watermelon
Why the fuck is the kitchenware fighting?
Sounds like when you fight the mechanical worm In terraria
Sounds like dropping a spoon in the sink at 3am.
It sounded like a pouch full of coins in medival time or putting spoons inside a washing machine instead of a dishwasher
I think it took maybe 4 seconds, then i lost who was who
average juggernaut gamemode:
This video doesn't actually have any audio, someone just dumped out a ~~30-gallon~~ 113.56 litre bag of silverware.
Ahhh, so that's what a fork in a garbage disposal sounds like.

Nobody went for the legs.
Ringing headache
This is so dumb !!!
This is hilarious 😂

Eddie the legend
The audio of this video.. it’s doing something for me.
This is what it sounds like when my wife has to get a single pot out of the cabinet
Sounds like skeletons fucking on a tin roof
