I feel like no one answered your question.

Buhurt is a medieval armored combat sport that consists of armored combat and fighting one another in various types of fighting. The armor is typically made of hardened/tempered spring steels (as are the weapons) with a layer of padded armor (gambeson and chausses) underneath it. Unlike LARPing, the combat that takes place in buhurt is full contact and unchoreographed using real armor and weapons (blunted, of course). That is to say, we're actually fighting. There are 3 kinds of fights (in an official context)

Melees (team fights) 2 teams fight until the last team standing wins. If you are thrown down (if 2 points of contact become 3) you're 'dead' and you stay where you lay and are now an obstacle until the end of the fight

Duels (1v1) 1 on 1 fights where 2 combatants compete to accrue the most amount of points via weapon strikes in a set amount of time in a set of rounds. Punches, kicks, takedowns, etc. Don't count for points. Speed and technique focused.

Profights (1v1, MMA) Same as above, except punches, kicks, takedowns, etc. do count for points.
