If you want to relive the medieval combats as told in History, field behind the Vienna Recreation Sports Center might offer you this opportunity.

All the fighters attired in medieval style, wield swords and throw objects in this grassy field.

All these participants are member of international organization Amtgard and meet at 1p. m on every Sunday to perform medieval combats and recreation. Based in Parkersburg this group was created in June 2012 for having some fun.

The boffer weapons used by the group are made of bamboo, fiberglass or of PVC pipe. These weapons undergo a check every week, lest wood or metal made weapons are used. Besides, spells balls are used for throwing at the fighters in this fun exercise.

"It is safe combat. We have a lot of fun, it's a good time. There's a lot of laughter," expressed 31 years old Getchen Richards. Richards has been part of Amtgard in Charleston group earlier for seven years and is now part of Parkersburg group.

Talking about the rules, he said that no one is allowed for hitting another combatant's head and only the limbs and torso are allowed to be hit. While explaining more about Amtgard, he said that it encourages children and adults to spend some time away from television and computer.
