description Buhurt Overview

Buhurt is a modern full-contact combat sport in which participants wear historically inspired armor and fight with blunted steel weapons. Competitions commonly include team melees, such as five-against-five contests, where fighters seek to bring opposing participants to the ground under an established ruleset. It is practiced by trained armored-combat athletes and differs from staged reenactment because bouts are competitive and strikes involve real physical contact.
