If you’re looking for a unique experience in Istanbul, why not train like a medieval warrior? Join me in Kadıköy for an unforgettable journey into the world of Historical Medieval Battles (HMB), also known as Buhurt—a full-contact medieval combat sport that brings history to life! 🤺

We’ll begin in my home, where I’ll introduce you to the fascinating history of Buhurt, from its medieval origins—when knights and clergy documented their battle techniques—to the modern tournaments where this art thrives today. Along the way, I’ll share my passion for medieval martial arts and let you hold a 400-year-old family-owned sword, connecting you directly to history. 🥋

Next, we’ll move to the Armory Room, where you’ll get to try on medieval-inspired gear—whether you want to channel a fearless raider or a chivalrous knight, the choice is yours. Once you’re suited up, we’ll head to the garden training area, where you’ll learn basic Buhurt techniques and get hands-on practice with wooden swords. 🗡️

To end the experience, you’ll have the thrilling chance to slice through filled water bottles with a real sword, feeling the precision, power, and weight of an actual blade in action. This isn’t just a martial arts session—it’s a time-traveling adventure, blending history, combat, and storytelling for an experience like no other.
Whether you're a history buff, an action lover, or just looking for something truly unique to do in Istanbul, this is your chance to train like a medieval warrior.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend—with new skills and a legendary story to tell! ⚔️
