🏰 Imagine stepping into the shoes of a real-life knight, wearing shining armor, and battling just like in the Middle Ages! Sounds exciting, right? Well, that’s exactly what’s happening in China!
Buhurt, a type of full-contact armored combat that started in Europe, arrived in China in 2016. It’s a sport where participants wear metal armor and use replicas of medieval weapons to compete in matches. Don’t worry, they follow strict safety rules! 😊
While it’s still not super popular, more and more people in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Chengdu are joining in the fun. Enthusiasts gather to train, compete, and share their passion for history and martial arts.
This sport combines fitness, teamwork, and strategy. Plus, it’s a great way to make new friends who share similar interests! Who wouldn’t want to try being a knight for a day?
So next time you hear clanging armor and see people practicing with swords, remember—they’re keeping the spirit of medieval times alive, right here in the modern world! 🗡️⚔️
