That cage is way too small...it is really unsafe to have more than a 1v1 match in that cage for full armored combat. You need more space to maneuver and dampen blows with subtle shifts that are hard to do with a cage at your back...

Agreed, too small for more than 1v1. Cool video though.

There are many reasons why the European Knights would beat the Japanese samurai.
But to be sure you need to have people that know what there doing going at it.

Yeah, well, if they were real samurai, they would have used their Otaku-style anime and their Fists of Ramen fury and the whole stadium would have exploded in bright, seizure-inducing colors! ;)

Nothing against samurai, but it's kind of refreshing to see something that's not purposely trying to portray them as some kind of magical, unstoppable force. Just an honest fight. Remember kids: it's not the armor, it's the man inside of it that counts. ;)

yeah right, they would bring out their nekked anime girls and cause the western knights to just stare while they killed them

Or just let them bleed out of their noses until dead.

This was the article BTW that let me know that the hell was going on in the ACL world and why they seemed to be pulling away from HMB. I did not know about some of the accusations against HMB/BOTN.

I'll have to read that article. I was just hearing recently about how the BOTN might be rigged by the Russian Mob? Interesting.
