There are probably buhurt gyms near you that'll get you in armor and in the list no money spent

My guess was horseback riding so I think I was basically right

Better wear your cake armor then.

If jousting is, why not

If being Butthurt was a sport then some of my ex’s would be world champion contenders.
vindik8or
Sounds like they all had a world class coach.
MrPositivePotato
same and i am i want to get my ass kicked by some knight
Makerofroads
There is probably a gym near you that'll get you in armor and fighting someone. If you are >1hour from Cincinnati, you can get your ass kicked by Ashlynn personally if you want lol
JonatasAM
I think they go for the head and your front body mostly. Could be mistaken

Weird to see this on opening the FP. I was probably at some of these clips. Ashlynn is squirrely as hell, and a helluva femm fighter. As a 5'11" 260lbs dude, I wouldnt idlely want to fight her. (Red and gold is me)

I see ground and pound but where's the swordplay, where's the pizazz?
howsyourmemes
Thy dame doth nawt run through a single twink, m'lord!
trigaranus
It's modern buhurt. Not the ancient sport, nor HEMA (that's where the swordplay would happen), but a fun re-imagination of an older tournament sport.
maybeamonster
sword play in full plate was less dancing blades and more two handing the sword to use the pommel as a makeshift sledgehammer
ThomasThundersword
Thats called Mordshlaug (but y/k spelled correctly) right?
BautaStein
Mordschlag (murder strike)
ArcUlfr
That was used on occasion, but as I understand it not all that frequently. Most often was grappling, joint locks, and aiming weapon points at gaps in the plate and visor slits, or just raising their visor with your dagger in your other hand aimed at their face.
VegaJuniper
Fundamentally if your opponent is decked out in steel armor from head to toe and you have a sword, then you brought the wrong weapon. If that's all you got then you make do, but you'd really prefer to have a something like a warhammer or a poleaxe.
VegaJuniper
Hollywood gives you the wrong idea because the armor is all for show and doesn't actually stop shit. One of my favorite moments of GoT was in S1, when an unarmored nomad warrior strikes an armored knight with a sword, and he doesn't even bother parrying or stepping back. He just relies on his armor and grabs the sword. That's how it's supposed to work.
Makerofroads
Duels do more of the swordplay. Much of buhurt (at least the melee's and the profights) is physical strength and endurance against the same on the other side.
DdCno1
Doesn't it usually end up with the larger, physically stronger opponent winning?
Makerofroads
Not with duels. With melees, shifting a big boy is tough, if they've got a low center of gravity, it's rough. But duels, it's all about speed and technique. Doesn't matter how hard you swing, it's all about unblocked hits. I once saw a guy get stunlocked because he was trying to block hits and they just kept coming and he couldn't do anything to block it (helps it was a longsword duel, and the guy was stuck in a zwerchau back and forth. https://youtube.com/shorts/RFXPrqtgmW4?si=CF6CCttqqJ3DYE6L)

JonatasAM
Now that's a cool thought. I wonder if it is safer or worse
ILDL
I wonder about that myself. Bare knuckle boxing seems more dangerous on the face of it, but its not because you can't smash people in the face ...of it. I didn't think that sentence through. But yeah gloves let you smack people in the head over and over, and gloved boxing is way way more dangerous for both long and short term health.
Colopty
Probably safer, though the armour does mean your opponent will be far less restrained when it comes to tactics like smacking you in the head with a frying pan.
Makerofroads
With the helmets, you can take full on two handed baseball swings with polearms and it won't hurt you. You'll be dazed a bit, but no damage. The frying pan isn't a big deal. They don't normally use it, but at the end of the shows, the Barbs have a "mug fight", where 2 people go in with pewter mugs, cheer, and then begin bashing each other. Then, people file in with random weapons and last one standing wins. My favs are, a handicapped parking sign, a giant pâtissier whisk, and the steel chair.
Makerofroads
A lot of the injuries come around because of gaps in the armor, or just flukes. A guy that Ashlynn fights with sometimes got his elbow smashed due to a fluke of angles, had to have it reconstructed. But, most injuries I've seen happen to knees. A guy on the Barbs (duelist captain for a while at least) has torn most of the ligaments in his knee due to the sport. Does dueling now because it's less throws and having 350lbs of dude land on you.
WeatherWiz
Is this jousting meets wrestling?
JonatasAM
Isn't wrestling jusr how you took down armored opponents?
TheBlueMuppet
Ahh, Jousteling.
oneduringwanderer
MMA of the SCA... but I've never seen it on horseback.
WeatherWiz
Wait! This is an actual thing?
oneduringwanderer
It is! Buhurt is usually point based duel or teams, full contact, steel required...but it's not quite like HEMA. Someone else described buhurt as what bored soldiers might do in a brawl—punching, kicking, grappling, brute force are all permitted. HEMA is for the nobility—demands a more technical & scholarly approach. The skills can reinforce each other. You'll likely find practitioners of both at any Ren Fair.
Makerofroads
Buhurt. She fights with the Cincinnanti Barbarians and the River Sirens. Around August/September, if you're in the Cincy/Dayton area and go to the Renn Faire, you can probably see her/everyone else duke it out. That is where a lot of these clips are fromm.
allenvasher3000
So HEMA?
JonatasAM
FEMA. sorry
HavelTh3Rock
Rectangle, square (I think).
iamalumberjackandiamok
I feel like this is a bit more "let's just fight each others in armor for fun" and less "let's study proper techniques and let's try to apply them" .
bril350
HEMA is as much about scholarship and study if Medieval martial technique. This doesnt strike me as scholarly seems more like armored MMA
Colopty
It's still a study of technique, just more free-form and experimental.
KittenVonCatsworth
Speaking as a HEMA fighter, I feel the two are definitely adjacent but distinct enough to be different sports. Buhurt comes down more to the armor, grappling, and raw physicality than actual weapons proficiency and manual study. (Which is in no way saying buhurt fighters lack skill; it's just a different set of skills.) We both enjoy swinging steel weapons at our friends, just in different ways and with different results.
allenvasher3000
Ok I have never heard of Burt, I will look in to it. Thank you
interesseret
HEMA is a sport nobility does, Buhurt is what bored soldiers do while waiting in camp for orders.
EmanNiemThcin
Buhurt is just the german (and french I think) term for what you in english call "melee".
