“We have about five serious groups whose members are interested in developing their skills and abilities on the battlefield. One of them is, of course, “Knights of Zelingrad”. We hold negotiations and try to unite all the groups (future clubs) in a single league, we organize fights and even Croatian Championship in HMB. We get assistance from the National HMB Association of Croatia, whose president I am. We have decided a long ago to promote this sport and medieval festivals to attract public’s attention to HMB sport, to make people join us.
We attract people at such festivals and tournaments. They see one side of the coin, namely a great show, fighting in armor … and they like it, they have a desire to know more about it. We invite people to attend our trainings, to see how and what we do, how we develop our techniques and skills. Many of the visitors come and stay with us. They become members of our team.”
