Rochdale hosts one of UK's first full contact medieval combat fighting tournaments

Emphasis on safety requirements.

I do not do martial arts anymore however in the Dojo there is a particular corner where with releases signed and the protection added to the body you can just allow the body to go do what you need to do applying violence to the opponet or opponets with or without weapons.

There is usually a Sensei there to yell at you to do certain things before you break something such as letting a person go instead of slamming same to the deck. In some ways Im happy to let the young ones hammer that out in full contact. Im getting too old for that.

There are some big boys who can hit. And when they do land it its like being run over by a mack tractor trailer. Takes a few minutes to clear the stars and leans with a walkabout.
