One effect of HBO's wildly popular "Game of Thrones" is a rise in the popularity in medieval combat.  

Take for example the clip above, showing members of the Armored Combat League, bashing one another with what appear to be hammers or clubs of some kind.

"Some people come in because they saw 'Game of Thrones' or they saw 'Kill Bill,'" the owner of Sword Class NYC, Raab Rashi, told DNA Info. "Some people are coming from it from a very historical perspective. We have some pretty powerful executives from banking companies. The youngest student we have is 12 and the oldest is 84."
