Over at SwordForum a large number of short clips have cropped up of Khridoli, a Georgian martial art purportedly still taught by living masters. Some discussion has taken place as to the historical and martial validity of the techniques, and some have posted articles that reference the same group of individuals.

My personal opinion, after watching some of the videos and noting the connection to a documentary, is that what we see here is little more than well choreographed stage combat based in various historical sources.  As many pointed out the techniques appear to be both a mix of Fiore and German masters as well as traditional stage combat shield-striking.

More news as it comes.
