	Armored combat with rattan weapons is a full contact, non-choreographed recreation of medieval foot combat using clothing, protective armor, and simulated weapons constructed according to SCA standards. Combatants can face each other in single combat in tournaments or can take part in large melee battles with dozens or even hundreds of combatants on each side.		Armored combat with rattan weapons is a full contact, non-choreographed recreation of medieval foot combat using clothing, protective armor, and simulated weapons constructed according to SCA standards.
	<P>SCA combatants wear real armor and use swords and spears made of rattan or similar materials, springy enough to absorb some of the force of the blow without snapping, and light enough to approximate the weight of a steel weapon. Everyone fighting is presumed to be equipped in a similar manner, with the same effective blows regardless of the actual armor you are wearing. Armored combat with rattan also includes combat archery and siege weaponry used in melees or battles.		<P>Combatants can face each other in single combat in tournaments or can take part in large melee battles with dozens or even hundreds of combatants on each side.
