As usual, the final answer! Many thanks, Michal!
The assembly of the Ukrainian Cossack's weapons is not surprising: after all, they were an integral part of the Polish society and military tradition. Their close contacts (as allies or enemies) with Tatars and Turks also affected their choice and composition of weapons.
Michal, are you aware of any particular system of an unarmed combat in the Ukraine/Poland, similar to what was shown in the movie here?
