I was trying to get into this sport before Covid happened and shut everything down. I even saved a ton and got myself a proper helm but then everything happened and jobs and people were lost and i haven’t come close to financial recovery. It’s looking like this’ll never happen for me so I live it through content like this. I’ve been into photography for a decade now and love that, so if y’all are ever in the states and need a photographer or videographer, I got you!
Glad it's given something meaningful to you! The whole goal of this channel was to share the meaningful experience of making and then by extention the use of armour and related hobbies. Thanks for the heads up too, if you see we are over send the instagram a message 🙂
Hello again, just to make sure, I just have two questions. For maintaining your steel armor, (not titanium armor) what oil do you use for providing a long lasting protective barrier against rust over time? Is it a spray oil? And what do you use WHEN the ACTUAL visible rust appears on the armor?
Wow that's awesome. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab on. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.
is it possible to use "pefectly" historically accurate armour in buhurt? I feel like foot combat armour or special dualing armour, as well as tournament armour would work in the context of buhurt. I don't think it would be accessable as much due to cost though..
Something I am keen to explore but yes absolutely. Another consideration tho is the abuse the armour gets due to the style of combat which increases strikes and minimises a lot of the broader spectrum of technique used historically that you might experience in HEMA. As such the armour gets pretty heavily abused AND historically they were also okay with a "death factor" that we just can't tolerate today
Biggest issue would be the helmet. Because in buhurt thrusts aren't allowed, the fighting mainly focuses on concussive force so you need a thicker and, more importantly, heavier helmet to protect you from brain damage. Secondly people usually want more padding than would've historically been used which skews the shape of what the armour historically would've been. Can't really have that wasp waist with an inch of padding. Third, even the fanciest pf tournament armors were designed for different rulesets than modern buhurt. You could make a Tonlet armor work with a thicker helmet and more room for padding but it's not going to be the best armor for buhurt.
@@takuoku2546 The frogmouth was a jousting helmet so not the best for buhurt with its poor visibility and mobility. But at the same time, it's an interesting case as a Medieval "sport" helmet otherwise not popular for military usage. So it's actually quite similar in concept to buhurt adaptations of armor. Of course, by far the most popular buhurt helmet is the bascinet and its variations, some more historical than others. In general, the most common buhurt gear resembles late 14th-early 15th century armor but bulkier and more padded.
@@takuoku2546 As Perry said, frogmouths are primarily jousting helmets designed for jousting. There have been a couple attempts at using frogmouths in buhurt and with some modifications it can be done safely, but not optimaly for sport performance. It would also require your whole harness to be a later plate kit, rather than the much more economic brigandine kit.
The title is certainly a slight stretch to engage those otherwise uninterested in what we all love in the Medieval world and armour. That said it is definantly fun!
They’re basically bashing each other with blunt sledgehammer-swordlike objects. Not proper technique and form against a real armored opponent on the battlefield. 😂
And boxing is just two just slapping each other with mitts, I’m sure. Actually watch some other videos on the Buhurt sport. They do practice techniques.
@@ironclamp5325 but what's the point in wearing the armour if you're not going to re-create the combat faithfully? This is why I have more respect for harnischfechten than buhurt.
@@deece1482 Because modern Buhurt is more sport than re-enactment. Like modern UFC fighters hardly uses every single form or move their martial arts taught them in every fight.
