Buhurt Worldcup 2023 - 5v5s - Part 1 

As an ex football player/jui jitsu fan, stuff like this is the coolest thing ever. The one place where full speed ramming is the norm

Head butts and kicks to the balls are literally the most polite thing you can do in this sport. I love it!

We need medieval drums and horns at these events

26:43 that neck shot was absolutely brutal

As an aged school teacher I long for my youth. This is a cool outlet,

I don't think I've ever wanted to do something more than this.

Awsome footage! Thank you!!!

FOR AAAGGGGAAATHAAAAAA!! killed me😂

Thanks for the amazing videos! I use this as film for my team!

The dudes with the big two-handed Dane axes...gawd. Those hits are BRUTAL.

that camera used here is insane damn looks so good

Aah, love me some Buhurt Worldcup. First time I see this. I thought I read the title wrong and that it was the Butthurt Worldcup... This is fantastic. It's probably a lot more realistic representation of how Medieval battles really went. Not like in the movies.

11:10 bro was having none of it

That looks amazing with the encampment and forest in the background. If we ignore the cameramen my mind is whisked away to imagine an army waiting for orders to move and during this wait the nobles decided to break out their tourney equipment and host tournament battles to break boredom and boost moral.

I love this

thanks

I can really recommend watching this with some Hans Zimmer interstellar theme in the background and sound of original video turned off. So calming :D

Great quality for whatever camera you were using

Some genuine sportsmen out there

This will never not look goofy to me. All respect to the people who do this sport, I'm sure they could fold me in half armour or no, but watching these I can't help but laugh some times.

Everyone saying this is a more realistic representation of a medieval battle than the bloodbathes we see in movies are kidding themselves lol in a real medieval battle there were short swords, spears and daggers for piercing through armour gaps, not to mention archers. Nobody is taking into account either that the average soldier wasnt able to afford to kit themselves head to toe in plate, they would maybe have a thick leather gambezone at best. Not trying to take away from this sport by any means, im actually super interested in it and the guys who actually get in there and fight are brave as fuck. Im just making a point to all of the people that are commenting and comparing this to a real battle. This is way closer to what a mediveal tournament would have looked like, one that would have been thrown as entertainment, which is literally what Buhurt is.

I'd love to see a video of the combatants explaining and talking about their coat of arms.

No holding back on swings here, not like some other vids I seen. Gj to all fighters!

SMASHY SMASHY TIME

Brutal fighting Stop!!it is o🎉ver..

I don't know the rules (just watching 'cause it looks really cool) but those strikes to the unarmoured back of the leg look like they could lead to some pretty bad injuries, are those allowed? The first few fights have quite a few, but I don't think I saw many (if any) later on

I really wish we had this where I live. Our local renaissance fairs always claim to have this kind of stuff but never do. After paying an over priced entry fee there’s only 2 or 3 people that show up to “fight” a very obvious choreographed show.

no. 20 took a great beating

Ooof I did mauy thai, I can only imagine how much those repeated thigh shots hurt, it would be so hard not to go down to a numb leg.

Insane 😂😂😂 OMG

What are all the rules regarding this sport. This looks REALLY interesting and fun. Edit: Ok found a comment explaining the rules

👍🏻

a top down perspective would be awesome

11:35 one team just had to go and summon a demon mid tournament.

really they should hold these contests in a pub car park

27:53 man this was close to some dangerous injury

1:36 hit to back of the knee 2:03 hit to the groin 2:05 hit to the groin 2:32 grabing opponents weapon 3:10 hit to the neck 26:51 hit to the neck and you wonder why everybody hates the french -_- .. and whats going on with marshals?

Montjoie St Denis ! Que trépasse si je faiblis.

If the armor was affordable, I would 100% do this sport.

Does anyone know what team is shown at 27:10 in the background? They’re standing next to the American team and they look to be wearing the Texas flag. I’m not very good with countries flags but I can’t find any other country that it could be but I’m not sure why there would be a Texas team and and American team.

Man I'd love to make it out to Europe to play!

What are the rules with regards to hitting the unarmed area behind the leg? That would be devastating.

The 3 guys just inactive and waiting show that either both teams were betting on their boy to win the 1v1 at the side or that one team was clueless and overly passive while the other team sent their chad in to make it a 4v5. Considering the calibre of this comp i'm picking it was the first option.

Bro when I read the title too fast I really red Butthurt Worldcup, I was like Whaaaaat?!

Is the use of a polearm to lever opponents illegal? Leading, tripping, or pivoting takedown maneuvers using one end of the weapon run aground and the opponent as the fulcrum?

are they allowed to trip with the pole weapons? that seems like it would be more useful

I highly doubt this is similar to true medieval combat like people are saying. Being at some festival drinking with your friends before you play sword fight with armor and padding underneath I’d like to believe is nothing like battling to the death to protect your land and property and family from foreign invaders. You’d have to be pretty separated from any conflict in your life to believe that.

Historical accuracy is seeing the American flag dude make a cameo

This is so cool. Does anyone know if they do it in the UK?

Are those axes and spear blunt or Sharp..

well done go hard go home lol xxxxx hapy days

That black team in f3 was NOT playing

hugs are allowed but kisses aren't ;

could you bring a larger heater shield?

Come on! Hit him with your purse!

When the larping kid comes across this

Hey so, im a little new to this stuff, but I really like watching it, so if anyone wouldn't mind explaining the sport a little bit? Like.. what counts as a knockout? How does someone win?

what the point of the weapons at this point? Feels like they do nothing at all.

I wonder what are the rules and whether some of them have to go to hospital in the end.

If I found a group in Texas id send it and buy full armor lol

Are you allowed to push or bump your opponent over?

Are there any groups in California?

Can someone explain the strategy/reason behind not engaging at 0:23

is the purpose the knock the other guy down ? Or disarm them ?

30:22 looks like a bad knee hyperextension.

Is NZ at 12min?

Preface, didnt have time to watch whole thing but i gotta call out blue #1. He has no honor in focusing on cheap shots. in the first 4 minutes i saw him target thigh from the back(no armor) the move off that guy, cross the arena then deliberately target the groin. I say deliberate because he landed 4 hits one after another into groin

weird to me that you are allowed to hack at the back of the knee that way. That's bound to leave you injured.

Good work France!

So ..basically they could skip the weapons because they neither are sharp, nore are they actually allowed to use them as intended. And as it is, for all intent and purpose, grappling anyway, they could skip the armor too. Ofc, it wouldn't look like some medieval battle in that case but hey .. it ain't one anyway.

Is the green team the krakens from hmb

What league is this?

soo whats the rule get the other person on the floor?

If this is authentic, how fucking long did knights take to kill eachother??

есть куда расти

I'm waiting for the Mandalorian to jump out with a Dark Saber.....lol

netle axe

So I'm trying to figure out the rules here...if their knee hits the ground, they're out of the fight? Seems like it just makes more sense to overbear them to the ground than it does to actually swing at them. Still, this looks even crazier and more painful than M-1. These guys have got to be bruised ALL OVER by the end of the day. Yeow.

hi im 12 and i want to do sometin like this but i dont know how and where please help 😢

Is head butting legal in buhart

why did they stop F4?

I just dont understand... Actual knights wouldn't be striking each other square in the armour... So what does this teach us? A new kind of combat but in ancient armour? What's the point? Is it fun? They don't look like theyre having much fun

Lmao the guy with the short axe and shield in the first fight who downed his opponent, then he just runs around chopping the legs of other people fighting his teammates.

No head shots must be a thing

i dont get it though? they just endlessly hit eachother?

Despite all the medieval accouterments it seems to me an experienced Judo or maybe BJJ practitioner would be killer at this.

bahahaha theyre all just clinched together stuck, and eventually 1 guy falls??

LOL - why are they standing around at the beginning - looking around like they don't know what to do? Supposed to be a war simulation...no?

Who's in green? Actually, the only team I can identify is the French.and I think red is UK.

this is ridiculous. you might as well be in sumo suits hitting each other with foam bats

In the Middle Ages, you went to war like this feminine, neighborhood kid? Middle-aged brothers are crying

What's with the American flag lmao
