And what I mean by pulled blows is doing it hard, but discouraging taking your sword in two hands and trying to break it on a person's kidney.
When I said the armouring rules are a bit much, I meant on the wallet. Their armour that i've seen dosn't just imitate medieval armour, it is medieval armour. And all that steel and padding is a bit beyond my resources. Hence CAC making use of everything that can be safely used to absorb the force of a blow. It isn't about wearing minimal armour, it's about using creativity to come up with your own.
I might just have to create my own battlefield equivalent of it where you can just wear a couple of shirts to lesson the impact but otherwise belegarth striking rules, rattan/wooden weapons, and unarmed combat allowed.
But you must have a helmet of some kind that offers enough protection to prevent serious damage from accidental head strikes.
People will be armouring themselves to the max out of nessecity, but you'll be paying for your armour in bruises instead of broken bones, as we'll only openly encourage pulled blows aganst lesser armoured opponents. No missile weapons allowed, no throwing weapons.
new members will be by invitation only.
The main thing I have against belegarth weapons is the flex factor, the weight, and the fact that you have to punch block to stop anything.

Soccer shin pads, rugby helmets, cardboard, it's all allowed. But you must have a helmet of some kind that offers enough protection to prevent serious damage from accidental head strikes.......

I'm thinking Esam has leaked onto the Bel boards and I'm calling Shenanigans.
