Buhurt Categories
Melee
Melee
This is the bread and butter of Buhurt, often fought in 5v5, 12v12, or even massive 30v30 formats.
The Objective: Put the entire opposing team on the ground while keeping your teammates standing.
The Style: A chaotic mix of heavy weapon strikes, wrestling, trips, and wall-grappling. If you have a background in Judo, Wrestling, or Rugby, you will feel right at home here.
Duels
Melee
Duels are all about speed, precision, and endurance. There is no grappling or wrestling allowed. Instead, you fight in 1-minute rounds, scoring clean points by striking target zones on your opponent.
Sword & Shield: Balance of quick sword strikes and blocking with a heater shield.
Sword & Buckler: High mobility, using a small, hand-held round shield to deflect and counter.
Longsword: Two-handed sword play requiring incredible distance control and hand speed.
Polearm: For heavy hitters using weapons like halberds to land powerful strikes.
Profight/Outrance
Profight/Outrance
This is the most intense individual discipline. It is essentially MMA in full plate armor. Weight classes exist here, and fighters use a mix of striking, shield-punches, throws, kicks, and active ground-and-pound to win by points or TKO.
