Hobbit Battle

In a hobbit battle, participants fight on their knees with their elbows constantly tucked into their sides, and fight using only short swords.

The arm above the elbow is counted as the torso for hit purposes. When struck in the leg, players must plant the knee and remain in place, though they can still pivot to face opponents.

Many battles can be played as hobbit battles, but small fields are easiest on the knees.
