Knights of Valour: Full Contact Jousting

For the past two years at Agribition, the Knights of Valour have performed a jousting tournament to the delight of the crowd. This isn't just a show, however, this is real jousting (and I thought trying on the armor was cool!)

These medieval sports are underrated... I'd rather pay tickets to watch this than a ball being kicked around.

Women: i still dont get why we live longer than men :/

[@ViolentGenius]

This should be an olympic sport.

Watching two men ride on horses towards each other and just basically explode when they hit each other is surreal

I love the idea of how jousting came about as a sport.

[@ghostknight2011]

Medieval tournaments weren't just about Jousting (even when it was the main event). There was also sword duels, archery, horse racing and other minor fighting contests... It was also a chance for smiths to offer their craft and services, and for trovadours to make some name of themselves with songs and poetry. We must bring all that's back, making it massive once again.

I love how something that was a sport hundreds of years ago is still practiced today with such little alteration in the sport.

[@DeNihility]

If this sport gets as big as mainstream sports, oh boy that'd be epic.

[@glabnarshartosis530]

This is 1000x cooler than any other sport combined. These guys are beasts.

In early Qing dynasty we Chinese army wore padded armour (a type of composite armour looked like your Brigandine or Gambeson) which was made of cotton, boiled leather and a few iron plates, fixing by some brass rivets. However, it was not good enough to protect soldiers from attacks, the only improvement was that soldiers could keep warm in north part of China during the winter. On the contrary, after centuries of exploration, you guys mastered advanced metallurgical techniques and finally forged the masterpiece-the plate armour. I must admit you guys are wonderful, no wonder you guys rise from the Dark Age.
