 ====== Armoured Combat ======
-Armoured Combat, also called heavy combat or heavy fighting (or sometimes simply heavy) is "combat sport" developed by the [[scaism:Society for Creative Anachronism]] in which participants in recreated medieval armour act fight with blunt rattan weapons. Armoured combat is not choreographed and combatants fight at full speed and power; all "kills" and "wounds" are determined through the honour system -- that is, the fighter receiving a blow is on their honour to accept for refuse a blow honestly. If the blow received would have been in earnest with a real weapon, the fighter "acts out" the consequences: a wounded limb cannot be used, a "fatal" blow ends the bout, and so on.
