This struck a very close resemblance to that of the Siamese culture. In my game, draj is based off of the Aztek and Thai cultures. How common would it be to have fights going on in a bar while people watched or in a noble's house while they drank away as they watched. Would it be something that was practiced often. Would it be like Pankration in Balic that everyone could practice since they are all militia members? I know gladiator combat is very very common and i was wondering if a less fatal form would be practiced for all hours of the evening. In addition, i also read that muls with without weapons would be sent into the pits to fight. I've also been doing some research on western Martial arts and found submission wrestling to be quite common throughout history and used in warfare. This would make me think that perhaps there would be some tournaments or what not being held. This is all just speculation. Thanks.
