Armored Combat
SCA armoured combat, or informally heavy combat, is a combat sport developed by the Society for Creative Anachronism in which participants in protective body armour either compete in mock combat individual tournaments inspired by forms of historical combat and tournament combat practiced in medieval Europe. Groups also compete, under supervision, in group battles which may approximate historically real combat, using SCA approved safe weapons. Combats are performed under the watch of marshals to maintain safety. It is variously considered a combat sport, contact sport, or a form of martial art. Neither individual combats nor group battles are choreographed to any predetermined result.
