Title: Battle of Nations (IRL medieval fighting tournament)
Post by: Lorenzo on May 01, 2011, 09:37:43 am

Somewhere in Ukrain is taking place the most extreme and realistic tournament of medieval style fighting in the world.

It is called the Battle of Nations where contestants from around the world suit on an ''medieval-time accurate'' armor/weapon and fight 'till there is no ennemy standing.

The only fighting rule is : You fall, you'r dead.

Here is the promo video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7VdUfDrhFM&feature=player_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7VdUfDrhFM&feature=player_embedded)

And there is the stream for the event that will take place in the next three days : http://peauty-fute.com/cbq/bitva_fbcomments/ (http://peauty-fute.com/cbq/bitva_fbcomments/)

Few of my friends are actually there to fight and compete so cheer for '' L'Ost du Québec '' !

Love how the one in the end goes for the lesser protected neck of his opponent with the edge of his shield.

It is not for the faint of heart.

Hope events like this go on for a long time.

What are they using for weapons? i.e, what is stopping them from actually tearing each other into pieces?
