Welcome you on our homepage!
Our team would
like to recall a slice of the middle age which is not so known in Europe
so it is imbued with misconceptions. This period begins with the appearance
of the Huns and lasts until the cessation of the last Gengishid part-empire.
Because these peoples arrived as conquerors, there are hardly any impartial
pieces of information about them. Usually they are presented as blood
drinker barbarians, unrestrained thieves and murderers. They scarcely
shed more blood than the Romans in Galicia or the Vikings through Europe,
yet with whom the historiography is more indulgent. It is prone to watch
these times with romanticism while the equestrian people of the steppes
were better or worse than they were, simply unknown.
Performances, shows
We
would like to introduce a small but spectacular piece of this
unknown world. We flash some elements from everyday customs (e.g.:
proposal) and of horse games played on celebrations (kerej köböre,
ribbon tearing, catch-the-coin). |
Mainly the shows are
spun around a tale from the Hungarian or Inner-Asian cycle (mythology),
it is worked up from horseback-archer view. The folk music based
scop minstrel has an important role, he is the narrator. |
 |
Of course
we are not careless about the horseback-archery. We shoot on standing
and moving targets both, even if it is a man behind a shield or a 20 cm
(or smaller) disk thrown up to the air.
We introduce the weapons’ of the aristocratic and the professional
soldier layers, the saber and the widely used “kopja” (long
lance), the “kelevéz” (throwing lace) and the extremely
high efficient weapon, the “fokos” (fighting axe).
All these are spectacular with 1 or 2 horse and horseman, but we are able
to place out even a 7 member team.
The mainly all participants of the shows managed to received a medal so they are skilled horseman/horsewomen.
