Combat Reenactment - Combat As Interactive Martial Art

Combat As Interactive Martial Art

The Society for Creative Anachronism fighting is based on Medieval fighting on foot, in the spirit of tournament fighting with wooden swords. The armor is handmade and based on historical artifacts. Unlike most reenactment events, the events are not pre-determined, it's a participatory sport: the fighters win or lose a bout, much like Karate or Judo.
