Ukrainian cossacks sabre

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?

You're welcome, credits to mr. Svieschnikov and his team. Unfortunatelly he died few years ago, if I remember well. There is museum, probably in Rowne on Ukraine, where excavated objects are presented.

Sorry Ariel, but I'm not quite sure what you mean What movie? and what you mean "unarmed" - fist fighting?

Regards!
