Buhurt is Love

The word “Buhurt” is a modern slang word of the Old French béhourd, which means “to wallop.” It also names the rapidly growing sport of high-impact, full-armoured, medieval combat. 

This short documentary looks at the people inside the armor: their lives in the lists and what keeps their clubs fighting on. 

Many might be dissuaded by the brutality of the sport. However, the communities, connections, and lessons shared by its athletes have created a camaraderie -- a bond -- that transcends borders, language, and creed through recreational violence.
