This project features the Swords of Cygnus. An all women Buhurt team. Buhurt is a modern full contact fighting sport with steel blunt weapons characteristic for the Middle Ages. Unlike staged battles that can be seen at festivals of historical re-enactment of the Middle Ages, the competitions in buhurt are full contact sporting events and not for the faint hearted.
