Historical Medieval Battles or Buhurt or Armored Combat is a modern full contact fighting sport with steel blunt weapons characteristic for the Middle Ages. Armour and weapons have to follow regulations on historical authenticity and safety published on official Battle of the Nations website.
Fighters are covered in full modern produced protective armour, made from steel made to aesthetically be as close to their historical counterparts as possible. This in contrast to Historical European Martial Arts that uses modern protective eqiupment such as a modern fencing helmet, padded fencingjacket, modern padded/heavy duty fencing gloves, forearm and leg protection.
Hits and blows may be aimed at any parts of the body ; both wrestling and percussive techniques are permitted.
Unlike staged battles, that can be seen at festivals of historical reenactment of the Middle Ages the competitions in buhurt are the full contact sporting events that are refereed by the referees called knight marshals who have special training and combat experience.
