Re: Medieval re-enactment as martial arts styles
Tongue-in-cheek - There is a history of attitudes between groups. There are groups that use rebated steel but pull their blows to prevent injury and their are groups that use wooden wasters and armor to prevent injury from more forceful blows. Each thinks what the other does is, respectfully, just mad. Jousters take the cake though. Getting hit with a rebated lance and you have to fall off! I have ridden and I have fallen off. It is a long way to the ground.
