“On the first day inexperience has been visible, but on the second day everything has been improved. If we speak about fights, the buhurts have been really great. All fighters were the same level and that is the reason why there were not obvious favorites, apart from Iron Phoenix. They have moved on the victory direction very-very confidently. All battles were interesting because of no big difference between fighters.

Also, the female categories have made me pleasure. It was pretty dynamic this time. It was a good intensity of emotions”.

Participants emphasized a numerous of positive things on the tournament. Among them – a good resting zone for fighters: food and drinks always have been available. The marshaling for this time also made participants be glad. Michael pointed to professional work of Knight Marshal Vitaly Makaryan, who taught on practice American marshals. They gain the experience and it is so good!
 

“Guys showed themselves very worthy. Of course, it was visible from the aside who need more training, who skipped training. But in general, it was very good, very worthy performance. The legionaries helped us a lot, we had 2 of them from USA and 1 from Mexico. Ira Rogozovskaya became a star of our team this time!

We took the 2nd place, but we understand that we need to train more and more”.
 

“We should participate in the European League, so ITOC did not bring us points. But in general, this is the right strategy: to make group fights so teams have ranks; everyone who wants to fight can go and fight.

I liked the fixed and clear rules unification, although everywhere could be some faults that need to be smoothed out. But I think time will show everything. The possibility of substitution of marshals is a very cool thing. And there became little fewer injuries.

As an organizer of tournaments in Israel, I understand why this is done. The HMB should looks cool. We have to become a really beautiful sport, without delays, so it would be interesting to the public.

Let’s hope that the Buhurt League will bring a lot of useful things to our sport”.
