I see two major problems with this sport: 1) The sword tip goes inside the eye hole and causes massive damage. They are not rounded to prevent that possibility. 2) How can the ref jump in to stop the fight as quickly as he needs to when he's exposed to the back swing / front swing of a sword. Dull or not, it would do massive damage to naked flesh, especially if the blow is delivered by a professional
@MattMG846 жыл бұрын
1) You're not supposed to stab, it has happened but since the sword are rounded so far nobody lost an eye. 2) Refs rarely need to jump in in 1v1 fights, just for the ground game which is basically 3 valid hits and done.

@Buran015 жыл бұрын
Swords were a sede arm, not a war weapon. The main war weapons along the history were the spear and the bow, and the main defenses the shield and the armor. In medieval times, when chainmail and metal plated armors became abundant (for second time after the apex of the Roman Empre) the main way to defeat a knight were either wielding a mace/warhammer + shield, or a poleaxe/2hd warhammer/bec du corbin/lucern hammer (essentially iterations of the same weapon, all of those designed to deal massive damage to heavily armored knights. You can k.o. a knight using a sword with a lucky hit in the helmet, but using a sword or a zweihander vs a enemy wielding a warhammer or a poleaxe will put you in massive disadvantage. Also, blunt weapons are avoided in this competition for the same reason: they (to large extent) ignore the protection that the armor provides, making them lethal.
