Modern Day Gladiators Of Calcio Storico Fiorentino

Post by Karl der Walder »

Ran across this and I thought It was awesome, Looks to be a modern day version of a 16th century game. Would love to see an SCA event around these lines.

I've seen videos of this before. These guys are pretty friggin vicious. Blind side full power blows to the back of the skull are dangerous.
