Oct 29, 2014 15:20

All the teams showed their best, but the most important moment for me was the fight of our team against Ukraine.

I managed to bring down several Ukrainian fighters and it was worth a journey across the world! …

Oct 28, 2014 20:42

Participation in the World Championship in HMB "Battle of the Nations"-2014 gave us a lot of invaluable experience which our team started to implement immediately after returning from Croatia.

To somehow compensate the lack of equipment, we devoted a lot of time to physical training, martial arts and fencing.…

Pioneer of the Scottish HMB movement, Dave McNaughton, concerning his way of stirring up the movement in his country. First we had to learn whether the people of Scotland really wanted to join the National Team of the country. We began to conduct surveys in the social network Facebook. As a result, we held a meeting for all those who were interested in HMB. There we had a public vote. We wanted to find out whether Scotland needed its own national team for historical medieval battle. The event took place on the 8 of September 2013 in the Stirling Castle. Having gathered…

I hope that in the future, this problem will disappear (and we will remember it as an unfortunate misunderstanding), and we will participate in the World Championship in HMB "Battle of the Nations" all together again. And I would advise…

Picturesque old medieval town, the town hall, cathedral, statues, emblems on the walls ... and even the game, Nine Men's Morris, carved on a stone near the cathedral… A huge number of participants, busy medieval camp with rows of stalls, musicians, and, of course, the best fighters and teams from…
