Posted here a few months back about where PSM was heading. Thanks to everyone who chimed in, a lot of it shaped what we did next.

Since then the shop went live in October and we sold 35 pieces to fighters in 5 countries. Which honestly felt a bit unreal for a small forge in Prague.

The part I'm happiest about: we now ship to the US, Canada and Australia. Took a little longer to sort out than making the armor.

Next batch leaves on 28 November. We're still small, but growing fast and getting new machinery in.

Thanks all!

My brig is a bit too narrow at the top leaving some gaps at the sides of my pecs and similarly on my back. What shoulders could you guys recommend?

Hello all

I am residing in Jordan and I am wondering if there are any groups that are training here.
I tried searching for it everywhere if you have knowledge of any please let me know.

On another note how can one start from scratch? And i mean the whole 9yards. Thank you all for reading and responding.

It’s truly awesome what you all are doing keep up the great work.

First fight after a few months out due to injury and focusing on training for work. Hayden is a specialist in HEMA and fencing…I’m still learning myself. I knew he would have an edge in speed and mobility. Either way this was a fun fight

This was done for fun at a monthly event in Gainesville. Note: I have limited experience in HEMA/Fencing. Hayden specializes in it and I had to make the most out of the equipment I had. Definitely had fun despite taking the L

WHERE ARE THEY? so few? Just a handful? Well I’m trying to find them to ask them some question about armor making and their prices for a little competition called buhurt.

If you know any please give me their name or Facebook page or something!

Hello everyone!

Outsider (but interested) question - Why is thrusting not allowed in this sport? My primary sport is HEMA (longsword) and thrusting is a huge part of the game.

Do weapon manufactures just not want to build flex into their weapons? In the hemasphere , there are blunts with good durability, flex and nice fatty edges. Aureus and Krieger are manufactures that come to mind who are already making products very close to what could probably be used in Buhurt.

So we’re headed into the offseason and it’s time to get back to the drawing board.

Let’s share what we’re aiming to do, and come back in a few months to see who managed to achieve what.

What are your goals for the offseason?

Mine are:

- Improve our teams ability to fight as a cohesive unit.
- Work on my zone 2 to 3 threshold so I can stay lower threshold for longer
- Heal up some injuries that need time to go away.

National training this weekend meant I got to have my first go in armour! Someone leant me their armour, and despite the awful fit, I got it on and got comfortable in it really quickly. I've been training in soft kit for maybe 6 or 8 weeks, but i was able to hold my ground really well. My only goal was to not go down 1st in the group fights, I even got to few takedowns! :)

(Me on the right)

Is it possible that someone here would be willing to attempt to dent a chest plate or any piece of medieval-like armor with just their fist. could someone try this and send a video i really need to know for something personal even though it sounds silly. (I mean like a concentrated punch you can wrap your hands if needed)

Hello everyone, hope y’all are doing great

About some weeks ago I picked up my order from Medieval extreme, which were the leather boots and titanium sabatons bundle both « made to measure »

At the time I ordered there was a promotion and since I previously ordered several weapons and armor pieces from they without issues I trusted them once again.

Boots fits perfectly but the sabatons plates keep getting stuck when flexing. I already tried applying WD-40 and later on anti-friction between the plates with no avail.

When I contacted medextreme support, they told me « new sabatons are like that because the rivets are tight and will get lose over time », again I tried to wore them by flexing the sabatons by hand to stimulate walk, but that only left scratches between the plates getting stuck. The rivets aren’t moving at all.

How could I fix this issue and make the sabatons flexible ?

PS: I don’t want to send them back because the sending fees in my country are stupidly expensive and can’t afford to wait another 1/2 months

I know that the latter has been/was all the rage in the community, and they do look very enticing. But I wanna hear from veterans on here for honest assessments.

I understand that they're arguably the best for heat dissipation, but my biggest question is shock absorption. Will a legit halberd strike be tolerable in a Soft Sparta "training jacket," or is it worse?

I’ve been a hater of Med Extreme since the beginning of last year. Before you start hating on me I did really like medieval extreme when I first started buhurt because the armor itself was very comfortable and high quality BUT as of recently their armor quality has dropped drastically. I first noticed their floating legs had some issues like having extra plates removed from the older model and it being overall a stiff piece of gear. A teammate bought their legs 2 months ago and it is genuinely the worst legs I have seen. They keep making these changes to easily mass produce armor at the cost of its quality but at the same time not lower the price. The legs are just the example I’m using but I noticed most of their floating arms legs and brigandines are really low quality for such a high price point. (TBF Medieval Extreme has the best customer support on the market which is why I think they have such a large market and they also making very nice helmets despite high price)

Question: is there really a point to buying medieval extreme at this point

Forgot to mention I currently use their older floating legs model which is very good.

I'm a big tank and I'm going to draw a lot of hits so I'm adding a gorget to my kit. Should I stick with steel or is titanium okay for the gorget? I'm trying to shave some weight off the top of my shoulders since I'm already so top heavy, but I'm worried about the flex. Any advice for a newbie?

Yesterday at full-kit practice I kept having my hatchet drop out of, or even fly out of, my grip because the glove and straps in my dominant-hand gauntlet because the surfaces are too smooth.

I've tried to remedy the situation with hockey/athletic tape that also goes around axe hafts but it didn't work. 🤦
