The International Medieval Combat Federation (IMCF) is like a club where people who really like the Middle Ages can go and compete in battles using armor and weapons just like knights did hundreds of years ago.
Imagine playing dress-up but instead of pretending, you actually get to hit people (but gently, of course). The members of the IMCF use special armor and weapons that have been made to be safe, but still look and feel like the real thing.
The IMCF holds competitions all over the world where teams from different countries can face off against each other, showing off their skills and teamwork. The battles are like games, but instead of scoring goals, the teams try to "disarm" their opponents by hitting certain parts of their body with their weapons.
It's like a really intense game of tag, but with swords and shields and everyone is dressed like a knight. The goal is to be the last team standing without getting hurt.
The IMCF helps to preserve the knowledge and history of what it was like to be a knight in the Middle Ages, while also providing a fun and exciting way for people to compete together as a team.
