I just received a link to this geek website that has articles and videos. One is of a golden eagle killing a deer in Russia. If you want to see a wildlife metaphor for the futility of military resistance against the dozen or so Nimitz Class U.S. death stars cruising the earthly bathtub read this article based on still camera trap footage.
What was really nuts is the promotional video for a Polish fighting association in which big scary cousins of Andrew Golota dress in late medieval armor and go at it all out in listing pens. The individual combats demonstrate some crude adaptations of SCA combat but also some brutal adaptations of martial artistry. Some of these guys show some brutally efficient shield work. What is really stunning is the gang fighting tactics in the group matches.
At American Renaissance festivals you have actors prancing. These Polish dudes—oh my God! No wonder the Mongols just shot them out of the saddle and kept riding, and Russia, Austria and Germany carved their country up like a geopolitical turkey on numerous occasions. This was like watching two rival packs of the Dog Brothers fighting over a hardware store.
Check it out.
I’m putting up a link on the network page now.
