The study of historical Ringen (the German word for “wrestling”) has opened doors to the modern practice of HEMA. The techniques found in the sources range from sport wrestling to vicious strikes against joints and weak points on the opponent. What follows is a video compilation of some of the ultimate fighting techniques from the historical masters Ott Jud, Sigmund Ringeck and Fabian von Auerswald.

Edited a couple of the above to embed the videos. BTW, the only reason the videos didn't embed was that the links were https (instead of http), which the forum isn't figuring out for some reason.

Thank you, that was really getting on me nerves, I couldn't figure out why it didn't work.

OK, https embedding should work now. I tried to find an updated version of the media-embedding mod I was using, and it looks like it's disappeared from the SMF mod site, so I'm trying out a different one that appears more well maintained.

The Raising of the Chicken Banner by EthicallyChallenged

Quote
Many aspects of medieval nobility's life were governed by ceremony and had to strictly adhere to protocol. Everything from going through doors to eating meals had to be performed exactly as the proper form instructed. These formal restrictions applied even to childish behaviours, such as pre-combat name calling, known today as fronting.

Depicted left is the Chicken Leg Banner Bearer who, when instructed by the leader wishing to initiate the name calling phase, would rise the banner depicting a chicken leg to show it to the opposing faction's leader. The message of the banner was effectively calling the courage of the offended party into question. This was a signal for the army behind the banner to begin chanting "buck-buck" noises. It was then customary to wait for either a reply or an attack. Remnants of the Chicken Leg Banner protocol remain in Anglo-Saxon culture to this day.

So that's where calling someone chicken comes from.
