r/Buhurt

I want to make my own tabard, just a cheap one for practice.

What would be the best way to do so?

Just a wool piece of cloth with a hole?

Howdy y’all,

So pretty self explanatory, I’m a 5’6” 125lb 24yo guy in the Fort Worth Texas area and Ive been looking at buhurt for a bit now after my brother in Oklahoma got me hooked on it. I watched him fight and thought it was the coolest thing ever, but I’ve never done anything like this before. I played soccer all through high school and worked out since stopping that so Im still in decent shape. I also know buhurt doesn’t have weight classes so I’m kinda curious if I’m actually gonna be able to do anything in this sport or if I’m just wasting my time and the time of others by trying to join. I know it’s fun, and I am willing to put in the work and the time. I just don’t wanna be useless to a team. If y’all have any words of advice or any personal experiences please let me know. Thanks.

Hello r/buhurt,
I am in need of asssitance.
I'm in the process of making an eastern kit (mongol) for buhurt.
Got a couple of questions and i'm hoping this is the place where i get answers.

Q1: NOTE: A chainmail will be added on the metal framework.
This is my nasal helmet. I am having difficulties to get my cap/helmet liner fitted.
I made it myeslf and i am struggling to attach it to my helmet. Any ideas?
Follow up question, should there be "emtpy space" between the helmet liner/cap and the top of the dome? If so once i get bonk'd its not safe, i made my way around this by adding a pillow filled with cotton between the dome and my helmet liner(its not part of the cap).

Or should i just scrap it and make a new one, i made one using this one as a reference: https://www.buhurttech.com/product-page/helmet-liner

After getting past the cap issue, should i only do a chin strap?

Q2: Im looking over at armorarena.com to order full arm protection, including mittens and floating knees. Did anyone order from them and what was your experience?

Thank you!

For the the past few weeks on my team I've been feeling pretty outcasted. I feel as tho I'm really not part of the team anymore. And I have a suspicion that at least two people on my team have some kind of issue with me for whatever reason and I'm not sure at all whst to do. I want to stay in the sport. But if push comes to shove idk how I'd be able to fight if I'm not on a team anymorBTW. Also feel like IMHO that we only do random fights or little events as some sort of joke, almost like we are just background noise. Then what is also worse is that there is only four of us that have armor,not including myself as im waiting on mine to be made from pavlo kozak. I have fought in armor a few times tho.. Whether it be junk from andre or two decent albeit very basic sets from medieval extreme.I'm part of a very small ACW team in a very yokel bumfuck area and I'm not saying the name for fear of teammates seeing this post possibly. On top of me feeling like our team is a gimmick, I just feel like we keep recruiting more and more people who don't plan on showing up, severely out of shape people, people who don't take physical health or actual fitness seriously. I also don't feel like my team president or captain put enough pressure and effort into making sure that everyone can at least somewhat perform simple takedown. I just feel like it's all a bunch of neglect and favoritism and udder foolhardiness.

Hi all, im looking to commision some bits from a few smiths in Ukraine and had a question regarding payment. From what i know PayPal doesnt allow goods and services payments in Ukraine therefore the only method would be friends an family with no protection. Can anyone advise what to do in this situation whether this is normal and you rely on the reputation of the smith or is there a more common alternative to insure your protected to a degree? Any information would be helpful thank you.

Hey all! Visited kirkstall and saw some of the tournament and was very impressed over the weekend. How would one get involved in such a sport? I’ve seen bits on google but is there any groups leeds based at all?

Like, sub, share, etc. TY all. This is the second upload because I uploaded a draft version a few hours ago...

Is this as dumb of an idea as it sounds on paper?

Hello lovely people!

I’m a uni student in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve been following buhurt online for some time, and I love medieval history in general. I’d love to give buhurt a go but I’m finding it hard to find information about New Zealand based groups as well as general information on how to get started.

Any help regarding groups in NZ as well as getting started in Buhurt in general would be super appreciated!

Hey everyone! Lately we have been having many newcomers joining our team and training sessions. Which is awesome.

But we are now in lack of soft kits for them to start, recently we bought a set from Gohurt, but we didn't like them, some straps are coming off easily and others were sewed on the other way around.

What other soft kits makers do you recommend?

Thanks!

For the people thst bought his boots, how are they? Lemme hear your praises or gripes
