Medieval Combat Display by Team Kraken

Team Kraken is a medieval combat team based in Clayton, who practice the sport of 'Buhurt". Buhurt is a modern recreation of medieval tournament foot combat from the 13th century where knights would train for war but also put on a spectacle for the crowd. Today the sport is popular across Europe, North and South America, China, New Zealand, and our course Australia. Enjoy the show as Team Kraken and other teams fight to prove their strength!
