Actual medieval combat
it doesnt have to be dangerous like the people in the video...
they were using actual steel swords (just that the swords were not sharpened)
wooden swords are fine.
and the arrows were real
just that the tips are rubber

Think of it like martial arts but with medieval armor and weapons

The cat knows there's some groups in the United States that does this
Called the SCA

Because bashing the shit out of each other is fun.

Certainly beats this bullshit.

No, I don't like that kind of crappy combat. Swarms of untrained people swinging weapons around.
