What Is Sca Heavy Armored Combat And How Does It Work?

SCA Heavy Armored Combat is a style of friendly medieval reinactment type combat that was developed by the Society for Creative Anachronism. They are a historical organization and their purpose is to study and create real like like medieval scenarios with full uniform and play combat roles. Many refer to these sports as contact sports.

Their intentions aren't to send anyone to their demise nor permanently injure anyone. The SCA is also involved with Combat Archery and Fencing. Some of their reenactments include thrown weapons such as spears and horseback. The SCA has specific rules as to what weapons and armor their members may use. The weapons they typically use are made from Rattan verses steel. They use these for the safety of their many members who participate. Also each member is required to cover all of their sensitive body areas with armor.

It's important to understand that although they use Rattan for their weapons, the competition is full speed as well as full force engaging two or more opponents. The purpose of doing this is to mimick medieval combat as closely as possible. However the safety rules they have administered is what makes this so much different form the battles that occured centuries ago. Some people question how realistic this mocked fighting is.

There are thousands of SCA members that come from all over the world. You'll find them in the United States, throughout most of Europe and South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Right now this sport is only about 40 years old. The first battles took place around the mid 1960's, but many people took a liking to this sport and it has since then become a more streamlined, formalized sport. One handed weapons are used by most SCA Fighters. The SCA has a strict set of coded rules when it comes to using Armor.
