A Medieval Fight Club Seems Like a Fun Idea
Well it appears that David Fincher might have had more of an influence than we first thought with his movie Fight Club. No I’m not saying that fight clubs have sprung up around the country but have you noticed the rise in MMA since that movie has come out? Eh? Eh? We can talk about that in depth another time (I just wanted you to ponder that).
No, apparently this influence has extended into different time periods and in different countries….like Canada!
Dressed in full suits of armor and demonstrating an array of sword skills a group of medieval enthusiasts took part in a 14th century martial arts tournament held by The Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts in Toronto (this was about 2 weeks ago).

MFCs are also touched upon rather humorously in a first season episode of the cancelled-far-too-soon ABC show Better Off Ted.
