Yes but it's kinda silly to use modern flags like quebec, germany or white-blue-red russian one if it's a reenactment. But it's not, it's a nations cup afterall. I just googled georgia's flag and the crosses are red on white, not white on blue x)

They aren't using sharp weapons and the arrows/bolts also don't have any sharp parts

Well if they did use those I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be entertainment anymore, but flat out group murder weekends.

This isnt LARP. LARP is more Roleplaying than fighting.

reenactment isnt for fighting either, only a minor part..most of it is to simulate historical life

hmm i dont know the english word for the fighting from the russians but this is only fighting dont like it so much, though can be fun but reenactment is better...you can still fight but have some othe rthings to do too

There is a great community of medieval reproduction and larping in Quebec. The tincans you've seen in the battle of nation video are some of the first here to really get into live blade combat but there is also a lot of RCA players and LARPers in Quebec.

Those video are from a Larp called Bicolline, maybe the biggest of his kind in americas (up to 1500 fighters). Yeah we fight with foam weapons but it's still verry competitive and a hell lot of fun.

I didn't know pretend fighting was such a manly activity.

It's not about manliness, but about plain fun. If you can't understand what's so fun about fighting with swords, in a semi-realistic manner... well, too bad. Why is roleplaying fun? Why close combat is learned today even though it can't help against a gun? Why history fascinates us so much? Answer those questions and it might just become more clear to you, why are these people having fun.
