"If a fight has rules it is not a fight' -Some Wit
Everyone of the re-enactment organizations have rules to check the possibility of actually killing some one.
Some armor the person.
All of them rebate the weapons. I don't know of any that are playing with sharps in front of an audience.
Some restrict the target zones.
Some restrict the power.
Almost none of them allow you to throw an opponent to the ground in such a way that injury is highly likely.
It is Art or Sport with sometimes intricate details. Switching between rules sets can be a problem - get hopped up and allow reflex to take over and you have got a ****** off opponent at the least and a hospital run at the (hopefully) worst.
