Bayou Brutes
The Brutes
Located in the Panhandle, the Bayou Brutes are the official buhurt armored combat team of Pensacola, Florida.
Representing the Gulf Coast with grit and determination, we compete in the intense, full-contact sport of Historical Medieval Battles (HMB), donning steel armor and stepping into the lyst with focus and force. Our roster features dedicated fighters and squires who train year-round, pushing their limits through strength, strategy, and teamwork.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Bayou Brutes are committed to more than just fighting—we work to grow the sport of armored combat across Florida and the Southeast, creating opportunities for new athletes, families, and fans to engage with this unique blend of history, competition, and community.
From state-level tournaments to representing Florida on the world stage, the Bayou Brutes fight with honor, resilience, and pride for the Gulf Coast.
