Gerrit, one of our coaches, is a very experienced fencer who knows the HEMA scene in Central Europe very well. For each fight, he tries to find two fencers who he considers to be of roughly equal strength and whose fighting styles he thinks promise an exciting fight if they are pitted against each other. He then asks the relevant candidates whether they have the time and inclination to take part in the Fight Knight.

@@GW-Holten If you're interested in inviting fencers from western Europe, I can think of a few from the UK, Ireland and France, and maybe even some Americans ! Thanks for providing these great fights

The Fightknight focuses on high-class fencing. Points are awarded for thrusts, hits and cuts. Wrestling and disarming are also permitted. Other forms of attack violate the general HEMA rules and the Fightknight rules and would be punished accordingly. The focus at HEMA is simply different than, for example, at Bohurt. At the end of the day, it's a different sport. Hope you injoy it.

@damianlakomski4661 I can understand why you see it that way. However, in the current orientation of HEMA sport, the focus is on reducing the risk of injury and clean fencing technique. HEMA does not attempt to correctly imitate or represent realistic duels to the death. That is why we have decided to ban kicks and punches. I hope you can still enjoy the fights.

@@GW-Holten I saw HEMA fights in octagon in Poland and it was much more dynamics and agressive. I was 10 years buhurt fighter and i miss here more complex techniques wrestling/kicking. Full armour fights are with out thrusts which are in HEMA and Iove it.
