Funny enough, if you watch the Alpha footage of For Honor from wayyy back when, it actually looks strikingly similar to this. I love the game enough to have gone Top 200 for a bit, but I think I would've loved that even more. You should look it up if you haven't seen it

These fights are far more cooler and these than movie fights.

The stamina requirement is huge. At practice we strike a target nonstop for a specific amount of time and just 60 seconds is rough. When you put on padding and armor then it gets exponentially harder. Strength is needed to ensure you can still hit hard and fast even with the extra weight. The camera work is just me trying to get at an angle where fighters are facing each other (they move around a lot, so one fighter will block the view of the other unless I constantly move with them)

Lol these full contact fights are fun to watch but I see a lot of people in the comments saying how it's realistic... this is by no means a realistic representation of medieval warfare. There's no skill at arms, its just blind swinging, hugging, and pushing people over. The armour used by these guys (in battle of the nations style) is also frequently made of titanium instead of steel, and the padding is packed right out in order to soften what looks like really painful blows, but in reality aren't. The person who said it's armoured wrestling is spot on.

This is a demonstration, so I don't think they're enforcing authenticity rules like they would at an official tournament. Usually they would require the kit to match a specific period/location. When they go to tournaments they need to prove their gear is based on an actual historic design

The rules differ depending on the host of the event (in this case it was the St Louis Legion of Honor). I was setting up camera gear, so I missed the meeting to go over what was and was not allowed. I expect they went with no gap shots, no neck shots, and no strikes to the back of the knee. Three points of contact with the ground count as a down. It was a demonstration event rather than a competitive event, so I don't think they had any special regulations on armor and weapons (some places will check the weight/dimensions of weapons and the historical accuracy of gear)

To think that back in the day this is what people wear as armors i can already tell how much those people train if they actually fight with this armor

This goes to show how effective armor would be and how your best bet would be to pin them somewhat and then stabbing under the arm or in the neck or if you didn’t have a closed helmet right in the face. Also using your shield as a blunt force weapon also highly effective
