About Us

Southern Crusaders Buhurt is an Australian historical armoured combat team based in Queensland.

We participate in Buhurt, a full-contact medieval combat sport fought in authentic steel armour using historically inspired weapons.

Our mission is to develop skilled fighters, promote historical martial arts, and build a strong community around medieval combat in Australia.

New fighters, support crew, volunteers, and sponsors are always welcome.
