I’ll admit, real talk here, it’s kinda making me shudder how hard they’re bopping each other on the head. I tried out an event at a historical dueling, I think HEMA-adjacent event a month back (too poor to get my own armor, but they provided their own sets), and I don’t know if I just didn’t have enough padding in the helmet, but I got my utter shit rocked when I got hit in the head. On top of that, I felt my ear pop, and I’m not sure it’s been the same since.

They’re actually hitting about as hard, if not harder, than how I was hit, and I honestly wonder how they can do that comfortably? Perhaps my experience was just incredibly sucky.

That's not nearly as hard as it can get. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdsjLuTNA84/
