An interesting video with a definitely East-European flair. Enthusiastic people, poor training conditions, some nicely executed techniques and a strong dose of revivalism.

Good to see a group of young guys, with extremely limited kit training harder and with more vigour than most British HEMA groups.

After watching this we all have three choices, ignore that niggling feeling that we aren't training hard enough or correctly, like fools, feel ashamed or be motivated!

Yeap. One could get some additional motivation by watching people who have only very basic training facilities, and who show great dedication to their training. Georgian were rather famous in the former SU for their fighting spirit, wrestling skills. On the other hand it is quite difficult to imagine some kind of "ancient Georgian boxing", and the lack of protecting equipment makes their "fencing" shift toward the show activity where the main goal is to impress the public with swift movements and dramatic exchanges.
