Welcome back to Cold Mash and today we
are sword fighting in medieval suits of
Oh god.
>> We are here at Armored Mixed Martial
Arts in Nottingham where we're going to
be training in the likes of sword
fighting, punching, kicking, wrestling,
all while wearing medieval suits of
armor to see who is the ultimate
I'm not going to.
>> We're here at Armored Martial Arts
Nottingham with >> Daniel
>> Daniel
>> and Jenny.
>> And what have we got ourselves in for
today, guys? We're going to give you an
introduction into this Bohut, otherwise
known as Armad.
>> Okay. What's that mean?
>> And what did what do you call it? Bohoot.
Bohoot.
>> Bohot. So that's that's the historical
medieval name for what we're doing.
We're going to be doing one versus one
and then later on you guys will do two
versus one versus two. So what sort of
time frame is the fighting from?
>> We base it on mainly tournaments that
were held from the 13th to the 16th
century during the medieval period.
>> And we actually use a whole chunk of
their rule sets.
>> Okay. So you're trying to keep it as
original as when it was back in the day.
And you were telling us before that
you've fought in like the the UFC
version of this.
>> We have world championships. We have
massive international leagues. And then
in America, there's a league called
Armad May, which is held in a cage. Same
style as UFC.
>> Jenny said she's just here for violence.
By the way, you're not you're not one of
these historical nerds like Daniel. >> Right.
>> Right.
>> So, what's the uh
>> Yeah. What's the first procedure?
>> We're going to start off with some Simba
sword strikes.
>> Simba sword. >> Simple.
>> Simple.
>> Oh, simple. Sorry. >> Sim.
>> After we're going into some punches into
some wrestling.
>> Okay. Does it matter that he
>> I'm massive and he's tiny like a little ball?
ball?
>> Once we put you into the 30 kilo steel,
the weight difference between you two
out still becomes a little bit
>> Yeah, but it will still be 30 on him and
the 30 on me. So, it still be
>> Yeah, but you're you're obviously
>> jacked. Jacked. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> First thing before we warm up when I get
into your fighting stance, you have to
right leg forward in our sport.
>> Right leg forward.
>> Yes. If you're more advanced, you will
be slopping around like 10.
>> I'll probably be slopping around then.
>> Make sure it's a bit of a wider stand.
If you're too close, people just push
you super easy over right there. Might
and armor, we are topheavy. So, someone
pulls here already, you're suddenly
flying backwards.
>> Yeah. I'm not prepared yet for how heavy
these 30 kg like a bobblehead.
>> Put your hands together.
>> Oh, for the swords.
>> It's for the Gork Gork 5000. Your mom's
Here we go.
>> Yeah, but surely your your your knees
aren't moving in this sort of motion
when you're in this armor. No,
>> we're going to move it down.
>> What kind of [ __ ] we going to do?
>> That's what I'm thinking.
You in a Pikachu top doing this, mate.
It's not a good look. And how much is a
suit of armor?
>> About2 to5 grand. Just a little bit of
>> £5,000 for a bit of metal.
>> Get some height, you [ __ ] bastard.
God's been trying to do that for his
whole life.
>> I honestly have the body of a
70-year-old lady that's been hit by a car.
car.
>> Well, I'm caught. I'm actually cooked,
you know.
>> Really? From that.
>> It's quite Yeah.
>> I was waking all last night.
>> Oh, yeah. When's the last time you you messed?
messed?
>> How much you fall asleep at night?
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah, but when you're not
haunted, surely
>> you don't just bust out when you're not
haunted, you know.
>> Well, you don't work every day. >> No.
>> No. >> Really?
>> Really?
>> What do you do?
>> I start with simple sword strikes.
>> Okay. Simple ones. Yeah.
>> So, first of all, when you hold a sword, >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> the first thing are proper tight while
the rest are soft. They're very loose.
>> You want to make sure you can swing
around. When you don't have this though,
>> do you just bash him in the face with a
guard, whatever this is?
>> I mean, yeah, you can. You can go.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I feel like we're about these guys are
going to show us some real skills here.
I think he's got some serious demons inside.
inside.
>> He's ready to take out of me and co.
>> It's very simple. Bear in mind, a strike
doesn't come from the armor. The strike
comes from the full body. So, it starts
with my on my foot through my hip
through my arm. It's a full movement
here. All right.
>> All right. Ready? I'll go easy. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So, it's front. >> Bang.
>> Bang.
>> Good.
>> Wait. Then what?
>> And then he goes to you
>> Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. Even said the
I've added sound effect.
>> All right, we're going to do now into a
low strike. If we don't block our low
strike, our swords or our shield do
>> No, we don't check it.
>> So, you don't try and block it. No.
>> No. It also leaves my hands free. So, if
she goes hit me in the leg,
>> I can count strike.
>> This guy's good.
>> There we go.
>> He's good.
>> I got a question. So, are most fights
ended because the other guys like I'm
assuming cuz you're not knocking people
out, are you? Is it like
>> Sometimes you do. You some knock them
out way. Yeah. So, you get knockouts.
They are less rare in our sport because
of the helmet. Yeah. Uh TKOs's, you
know, so if you're taking a man to the
ground, you you know get top control.
You're just smashing him in the side of
the head. He can't defend himself obviously.
obviously.
>> With what? What you smashing it with?
>> Hands, shields, swords.
>> A really good tactic is when you throw
somebody to the floor, you can stand
over them and seal club them. >> Literally
>> Literally club.
club.
>> Is that what he's called? Seal club.
>> Yeah, I know. Can you Can you kick Yeah.
Yeah. You can kick him
>> on the floor.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I'm [ __ ]
>> Chest forward.
Watch this side here.
>> So you come right back into it. So
>> you don't attack by the way again.
>> Oh, okay.
>> So the next what's going to happen? You
can decide if you want to go high or low.
low.
>> There you go.
>> You need to get me. >> Ow.
[ __ ] doing drills, man. See, look.
See, come at me, BOY.
>> OH [ __ ] OH MY GOD. OH [ __ ]
>> He was literally asking for it. Oh, are
you okay?
>> They get me in the nose. You got me here.
here.
>> It literally swiped.
>> We're going to be going to some basic
wrestling and then teach you a really
basic throw. So, the first thing you're
going to have to get used to with the
wrestling is these things. Obviously,
these really get in your way. Obviously
you here you're going to be looking to
try and get head and arm control of your
partner. They're going to be just trying
to do the same to you. Just try getting
used to the way these sword shield
weapons get here. Okay.
>> Get inside you, Cole.
>> So we go in really we go.
>> Control here.
>> Yeah. Oh god. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Now what? What? What am I doing?
>> Try to get one head controlled.
>> Your head?
>> Yeah. And
>> with my arm?
>> Yeah. And then my arm. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Fix that. Oh,
>> like here.
>> Oh, okay. Like this.
>> Come on. Come on, Jenny. Come on, Jenny.
You from the block now, Jenny.
>> See how See how
>> Yeah, you're doing me up.
>> All right.
>> We're not trying to kill each other.
>> I know. Just Just practice. Just
>> No way. My shoulder.
Yeah, you [ __ ] All right, bra. All
right, mate. Then what do you do? What
do you have to do now? What am I doing?
What is this achieving? This isn't doing
anything. All right, I'm done.
>> Well, I sort of gave up at the end cuz
we're not getting anywhere. Can I just
ask a sec?
>> Why have I got
knots on the end of my shoes?
>> What is that?
>> Very important for touching armor later.
>> Oh, is that what it's for?
>> Oh, is it?
>> I think the striking and the like the
the brute force he's going to do better
at just cuz he's stronger and he's on PDS.
PDS.
>> But in terms of the wrestling, I think
that's where I'm going to get him. I
mean, the precision, the engineering,
>> some other words, photosynthesis.
>> Right. So, just so we can get used to
being hit and like feeling the
movements, whatever, we're going to put
helmets on and a shield each. And these
guys have got swords and we're going to
last as long as we can. And whoever taps
out first is the first loser of the day.
So, you know, like the Romans. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> The Romans, they had that like the
turtle. They had shields this way,
shields this way, shield this way.
Obviously, we don't have that many
years, but I think if we're together,
mate, it'll whip the [ __ ] out.
>> If we're together, we're stronger. Trust me.
me.
>> Okay. Three, two, wait. No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait. They got to start in the
corner, man. Yeah. Jesus. Three, two,
one, go. What the [ __ ] [ __ ]

stopped? Stop. Then I win. I win.
>> Where you still going for me, man?
>> She kept winning for this. Yes. Same bit
of my leg.
>> That was good, though.
>> Oh, mate.
>> When they fight, they don't even use
these. They use the swords.
>> Is it that quick in swords, you say?
Like, is it Are you swinging it like Oh,
my back.
>> Yeah. Like the movies, man. Like movies.
I don't know what you've done to me, but
something's happened.
>> So, these are the suits that we're going
to be wearing for the fight. Uh, if you
could just tell us a little bit about
the suit, Dan.
>> Oh my god. >> Wow.
>> Wow.
>> This is a combination of four plates. >> Sick.
>> Sick.
>> No way. It's like Assassin's Creed, is
it? Like
