The Next Big Thing – Medieval Sports!
Manage episode 446327093 series 3446270
There is a growing phenomenon in the world of extreme fighting you might not be aware of. Of course there’s boxing, wrestling and mixed martial arts… but for people who want something more dangerous, more brutal…a sport that affords an opportunity to hit…or be hit with a sword, a mace, or even a battle axe - there’s now…Medieval Fighting! Really, no really!
Jason and Peter wondered why seemingly average Joes would spend thousands of dollars on armor and 14th century weaponry and travel the globe for an opportunity to fight in this brutal way. So, they turned to Simon Rohrich, a multiple world champion and expert in Medieval Fighting.
By day, Simon is an Arizona based inventor and technology consultant… but his other persona is, Baron Josef Donnerbauch, who is proficient in staff, axe and longsword armored combat, close quarters fighting, and grappling. He discusses the growing appeal of Medieval Fighting, how it may help war veterans suffering from PTSD, and what it felt like to have a large axe imbedded in his skull!
***
IN THIS EPISODE:
- What exactly is Medieval Fighting and what are the rules?
- Rumors of infiltration by the Russian mob.
- Prize money?
- How protective is the hardened steel armor?
- That time an axe ended up lodged in Simon’s skull.
- What draws someone to this sport? Spoiler Alert: Trauma awaits ye!
- How this sport may help war veterans dealing with PTSD.
