OMG, Game of Thrones in Harlem? Nope, it’s the martial art of sword-fighting with the Armored Combat League chapter in Harlem.

Armored Combat League has turned Medieval armored fighting from the 1400’s with axes, swords, winged spears and more into a sport and a work out at the old Mount Morris Turkish Bathhouse at 1944 Madison Avenue and 125th Street in Harlem, New York. The fighting is very real, and it’s a very disciplined sport so as not to seriously injure an opponent.
