My life is dull and I am seeking something different that would make me stand out from normies. I am very interested in competing in full plate armor and fight like foot soldiers/knights did centuries ago.I have a judo/wrestling and football background so I'm used to contact sports I heard about SCA and IMCF (there's a pretty big chapter not far from my home), what are the other leagues? What have you heard about it? Is it as dangerous as they say? What are other big medieval events with jousting and other competitions?
heh, medieval combat? A bit dated isn't it? Join the muhreens instead

Try SCA first and go from there. They're probably more newbie friendly and can get you started faster so you can decide if it's something that you actually like without spending too much.

Are the events sime big shit or literally 0 spectators? The other cool part of the sport is that you get to travel all around europe and fight in castles

>Is it as dangerous as they say?
SCA is relatively safe because hands and head are off limits. That doesn't mean they don't get hit, but it means they're not a primary target. Of course, it also means that the technique is completely different and about as historically accurate as your average backyard LARPing.

I'm morr talking about IMCF which seems more extreme. How well organized are those events?
I only know of Battle of Nations but good luck competing on that if you aren't a slav. And that's if you somehow manage to be in the top 10 or 5 of your country
