The image showcases a fighter from the renowned British team "Battle Heritage Lions" during the exhilarating "Rise of the Knights III" tournament held in Bernau, just north of Berlin on January 31,2015. Immersed in an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient times, participants donned authentic knight and soldier attire as they engaged in full-contact battles. With swords gleaming and clubs raised high, teams from across Europe clashed with remarkable intensity and skill.
