Can we take a moment to appreciate the great sportsmanship among these teams.

This is what the American Revolution was missing

Imagine losing a medieval battle to a nation that didn’t even exist until the 18th century

Watching these makeshift battles helps me understand how utterly chaotic and quick to finish were actual battles back in the day.

8:21 him going out of his way to thank and congratulate an opposing member, warms the heart

[KreigsMarine]

As an American, thank you, for all the British, Australians and New Zealanders who fought beside us in every war!! We are not taught in our schools for your bravery. Once again, thank you!!

[Firealone]

American here. This looks amazingly fun. I've always loved medieval history and weaponry and if the armour and weapons weren't so crazy expensive I would definitely get into this sport.

[pyrrhusofepirus]

As much as it pains me as an Englishmen I must say the US colours look great on plate armour, especially those tabards, and I actually find myself disliking the English team’s colours, which is made worse by the fact the tabard I think those are called cover up too much of the armour and make them look fat. But I really like the armour on the guys without any covering.

How did I not know this was a sport? Sign me up!

[boxhawk]

Something tells me that there might be a keg or two consumed after these matches.

[liqurmeup]

They need better video coverage. like a top side camera on a wire.

[CoolSmoovie]

The USA team pattern is so fucking cool looking!

[DED_MEEM]

I'm from the US but I have immense respect for the tubby Englishman with the greathelm. Classic stuff.

[ThePlazzman]

Can’t you just spray the opposition with Greek fire ?

[satelliterider]

This brought a patriotic tear to my cold American eye.

[NonsenseFabricator]

The American team's livery looks so good.

[skylerhinman]

I think the sportsmanship shown in the field is underrated fr, after a hard fight they all just hugged it out and instead of actually fighting or throwing the win in there faces and thats beautiful to genuinely show kindness to eachother. Sportsmanship like that is what keeps me and others to keep on enjoying armored combat and larps

[brannon]

If the revolution was 300 years earlier

[dustinlerch]

Imagine being a 155 pound British guy that likes history getting rocked by a 350 6’6 drunk dude that couldn’t find saxony on a map

[calebbowling]

The lady screaming "walk it off" is the best part
