@Arvayn HEMA?

In essence: medieval combat done as a sport. Here's an example:



These guys are nutjobs, because they're REALLY hitting each other with those weapons as hard as they can. The only part that's faked is the part where he executes the loser; it's alright to injure your opponent, but intentionally killing them is a no-go.

The rules are that you keep fighting until one person surrenders, one person is in too much pain to keep going or you manage to land a hit that would be lethal. People have died doing this before, and many more have gotten hospitalized.
It's an extremely expensive sport to get into; you have to purchase your own armor and weapons, and they are not cheap at all... I'd do it if I had the funds, though.

People who are really insane sign contracts to do it with legitimate weapons. Take the very first clip in this short, from 0:00 to 0:07:


That guy's arm is gone. He got a lance impaled through it, and he'll probably be crippled for life. He consented to it, though, so it's his problem.

Edit: Just looked it up and the guy's fine. Didn't go though his arm, the Lance was between the breastplate and the shoulderplate

That's lances for you. They were a deadly and commonly used weapon in late-stage European warfare for a reason. As the horse charges forward and you thrust the lance into the opponent, the sheer kinetic force generated from the charge is transferred into the tip of the lance, which then disperses into the target's body. The resulting impact is devastating enough to dent metal, fully impale through thick muscle, and crush bone.

I don't remember how I found out about HEMA, honestly. I know a lot of suspicious things; my brain's filled with dubious trivia. I think I got bored one day and searched up 'realistic spar', came across videos, then, also out of boredom, did a deep dive into researching the community. What makes you ask?

Edit: Ah, I see. Good to know. It looked quite nasty on footage. Still, I'm sure that there are plenty of videos of injury out there...

honestly it isn't the most worst shit of that nature i have been unfortunately subjected to.

 

[NoPoint2Life]

So I'm taking that it would be one of the many many things I google on here that I wouldn't actually be able to forget? As opposed to my usual, horrible memory.
