    Saw this shared by a eastern european BJJ mate.

    It looks nuts, in a great way!

    This occupies a grey area. It's called "Bohurt". Battle of the Nations is the most well-known league. It's not WMA technique, but the format is resonably historical. You defeat someone by knocking them down or making them submit. You won't historically-accurate MA done there, but that's not the point. SCA on steroids, really. It's quite dangerous, but whatever floats their boat. Losing fingers and whatnot isn't uncommon. Here's a post from a competitor on the armour archive:

    Being beaten unconscious twice in one day (serious risk of brain injury there), swelling on the brain (even more so), severed fingers, tendons torn from bone...not a smart approach to a recreational past-time IMO.

    As a rule: if it's Polish and to do with fighting it will be somewhere between scary-tough and unarguably insane.

    I've generally noticed that about Eastern Europe. I mean, I know what ITF Taekwondo looks like in the US, and then I go on YouTube and I see full-contact "ITF-Pro" in some Eastern Bloc state and some guy is continuing to fight after having his arm broken. And I'm like "yeah, that's not how it works here."

    Same thing with comparing this to SCA heavy fighting here in the States.

    Judging just by Polish guys I've trained with in London, "airport" in their language means:
