Many may be surprised, but Mexicans, though being far from all known historical features of the European Middle Ages, are very fond of historical medieval battles in armor. The HMB movement is developing very actively there, and, judging by the pace, will catch up or even leave behind old Europe soon!
Today we can say with confidence that at the World Championship in HMB “Battle of the Nations”-2014 (Trogir, Croatia) Team Mexico made a lasting impression on many of its opponents. And, by the way, not only on opponents, but spectators as well. Organizers of “Battle of the Nations” admitted that the descendants of the Aztecs even claimed to get the proud title of the “Best Débutants of the Championship.”
Captain of the National Team, Alberto Baal Jimenez, told us about the way the HMB movement started to develop in Mexico, and about the first historical medieval battle clubs.
