Pikarts are a sports team of medieval full-contact combat, operating under the auspices of the HMB club Česká korouhev. ​We derive our colors, symbols and name from a group of domestic sectarian religious fanatics of the middle and end of the 15th century, who interpreted the faith "in their own way" and committed various atrocities, when "...they murdered and they committed fornication during the day, they went to the border for fun...". There were many Picartic sects and sects, among the most famous were the Adamites. "They committed adultery, murdered and walked around naked" - the chronicles say. In 1421, Jan Žižka couldn't put up with it any longer (even though he was already blind) and took the Pikarts from Tábor into battle and killed them mercilessly on the island near Nežárka. After suppressing the followers of the sect during 15th century the word "pikart" took on a derogatory meaning, essentially becoming a synonym for "heretics". They were referred to as such not only utraquist (whether moderate or radical), but often even Catholics (by the Utraquists).
