    This demonstration was part of ACTA's wonderful presentation of reconstructed antique martial arts at Dijon 2009. This is boxing according to the style and rules (precious few of them) of ancient Greece. The fighters are wearing cestae of hard leather to protect their hands and make them more dangerous weapons.
