This appears to be a very fun youtuber who went to some Buhurt guys to experience combat in plate armour. The video is really fun and everyone seems pretty cool, but in my pedantic nature, I have a few things to say of course. I hope you enjoy Here is a link to the original video, check the channel out!    • Medieval Fighting was kind of... Insane   Medieval combat in armour is a quite complex topic and one of the main aspects to get it right it to try it in historically accurate kits. From the materials used to the shapes and forms, many things will influence the outcome of such experience. But most importantly, when it comes to plate armour specifically, if it's not made specifically for you, in other words if it's not tailored to your body, the experience you will have will be infinitely different from the experience of a real Medieval knight, whether it be on the battle field or whether it be during a tournament or joust. The importance of form cannot be over stated for plate amour to work as intended. Risk management is also another important factor when discussing how "insane" Medieval combat was. Modern Medieval sports often do not represent well the type of risks Medieval people were willing to take once again changing the way we perceive the experience. A good example of this was the fact that he found fighting with the visor down the entire time extremely tough, for the breathing and in general over heating. We know from iconography that many Medieval knights decided to lift their visors in combat. #mythbusting #medieval #knights
