A ball being kicked around doesn't take much, you just need a ball, a flat field and a handful of stones to mark the gates. That way many people can play it, and therefore relate to. Soccer is a people's game unlike Jousting.

Just as it always was. In 13-17 century England an emptied pig bladder was used to make a ball that boys and sometimes men had fun kicking around in a sport similar to soccer.

I love the idea of how jousting came about as a sport. "Hey William? You know how we ride really hard at an enemy with our lances and then completely demolish them with the force of the blow? What if we did that against eachother for fun?"

[@NihilIslands]

Lets joust !!! So few people know the word and doesnt even have any translation / omologue in other languages....Tradutore traditore!!! In real life in middle ages they hit those exact points so not to severely injure your opponent. That showed at the time what chivalrious gentleman they are!

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.

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.

[@machdude3366]

As far as the Qing dynasty goes, whatever armor they had were rapidly being outclassed by the development of firearms. Plate armor was largely being phased out since they more or less were ineffective and a burden. At the time, the breastplate was the primary armor piece that was of any value and given a few more decades, armor was more or less abandoned. The plate armor was developed early on and it was an effective means of keeping knights protected for most of the medieval period, but it was an affectation that was only afforded to those with means. If you were a serf... you take what you could get. It did afford a host of advantages to the knight as it made them effectively iron man in fights against the average soldier, but they were not universal.

the helmet shouldn't be allowed to come off, that isn't proper jousting armour. Historically the helmets were fixed to the breast plate so that you couldn't move your head. This prevented the helmet from falling off and it also helped to prevent neck injuries as it limited the range of motion.

[@natesiress1057]

You remembered right, with regards to the King killed in the joust. Henry, King of France, was killed when a lance broke across his helmet, casting a splinter through his eye and into his brain. He died of the injuries after several weeks, I think. The man that killed him was the head of his guard, name of Montgomery, who, though he beseeched execution for his action, was pardoned by Henry, who said he had acquitted himself well in the tourney. www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/henry-ii-france-dies-tournament-wounds

Ignoring that the armor itself looks terrible, it's not tailored to their bodies, it looks loose and gross, your helmet should never fall off during a joust.

[@AKU1911AKU]

Dude those hits are no jokes, props to these gentlemen and gentlewomen who make it happen

[@istoppedcaring6209]

any country starting a full fledged anual medieval festival, as in jousts, melees dancing, but with music that is not just medieval but medieval inspired, like medievalesque metal and rock and so on would have a goldmine, think tomorowland but wearing kickass armor

[@DarthVader1977]

annual*

I joined a group called the Ancient and Medieval Martial Arts Society in Sydney Australia in 1979. Some members were doing full contact late 12th/early 13th century jousting. So full suits of mail, barrel helms and heater shields, with the aim of unhorsing one's opponent. For the skill at arms, the brother of one of the jousters would stand, just wearing trews (no shirt, or helmet, etc) and with a holster holding a cigarette packet on his shoulder (this was the 1970s). His brother would then pick the cigarette packet off with a lance. Those brothers used to do a pretty impressive gladiator combat too.

[@liammorris1018]

How has this shit not taken off but we have slapsport? This looks way more entertaining.

[@Neon-ms2gc]

I rate this a solid 5/7

[@mkozachek]

A perfect score!

[@user-wk2gi5cp9y]

6/9

Can't stop watching 0:01 😂😂😂 I can't breath I'm dying from laughter

[@willfrey7589]

I met a woman whose main source of income with making a knights' colors and the colors for the steed, as well. The work that went into an outfit (not the armor) is profound and an excellent set would cost a knight 1,000 to 1,200 dollars. So much goes into a making a superb set up that it's worth every penny. She didn't know what a set of armor would set a knight back, but it has to be a bundle! Does anyone venture to guess?

[@thezokman]

Nowadays professional made armor by the best of the best I can assume around 80,000 dollars. one of Robert Macpherson's harnesses went for sale on a live auction for I think starting price 76,000

[@k.v.7681]

In medieval times, a full plate harness could reach the modern equivalent of 3.5M $ if you believe Dr Tobias Capwell, one of the biggest authorities on the subject. So an armour made today would have caused the Knight to scratch the bottom of his purse for coins XD As for today's equivalent, a mid range in Europe, made on order, costs between 15 and 30 000$

[@noobsaibot1890]

Muricans doing more Knight stuff, like they even existed during Knights era LOL

[@dankan1982]

Showed this to my 6th graders in history class, they were speechless!

[@malcolmthorne9779]

This is so badass. I'm glad that knightly traditions live on in some form still.

[@nighthawkdutchchameleon9815]

Man why is this not more populair. Beats football in my eyes

[@alfredleite4000]

Because people would die all the time or worse. It's not cool to leave your kids putting a diaper on you and feeding you because you wanted to play fight as a knight in 2023.

[@samuctrebla3221]

2:25 How many knockouts do you weigh, bruh ?

[@Pandolcee]

Jousing is the most enteratining thing ever

[@randomwonders6320]

This is amazing super cool and really athletic and seeing people respect different cultures this is way better than sitting inside and watch people play with

[@nickknight8344]

Me and my friend running at each other with two exercise balls..... 2:16

[@jimmyshousevideos]

Dude, the horses don't need armor? At least some eye protection (can't see if they have that or not)

[@alexdu69fr]

1:59 funniest moment

[@frostyvr9805]

Seeing a man jousting on a horse with a maple leaf is just awesome

[@Qwert-4960]

i like how when i saw the thumbnail i instantly clicked with no hesitation

[@Neon-ms2gc]

want to see more ;:D

[@why5482]

Jousting was never as organized as this... Much more brutal, and it was a way of defending one's castle. Ave!

[@NihilIslands]

Lets joust !!! So few people know the word and doesnt even have any translation / omologue in other languages....Tradutore traditore!!! In real life in middle ages they hit those exact points so not to severely injure your opponent. That showed at the time what chivalrious gentleman they are!

[@alexnguyen5563]

that armour looks good, but it is historically inaccurate unfortunately especially the breastplate.

[@rockyblacksmith]

What exactly is inaccurate about it?

[@durkburk4801]

it's designed more safely because the point is to entertain not to kill, and some people claim that this armor is based of of tourney armor which is suprisingly different than normal armor. wether these claims are true i do not know.

[@rockyblacksmith]

nofacesherlock holmes The shield screwed to the left side of the breastplate certainly is drawn from Realgestech armor. And it certainly is true that tourney armour was different from battlefield armor. It's pretty easy to see if you compare them directly (and know a thing or two about armor), but it's also obvious in terms of function; Battlefield armor has to offer an effective tradeoff between protection and agility. To little of either will get you killed. A knight in a joust does not have to be agile (all you need is the ability to control both your horse and your lance properly), but he wants to have maximum protection. So if one were to transfer the comparison into modern warfare, it's like comparing a tank with a fixed gun implacement.

[@NihilIslands]

Its not historically inaccurate, but accurate where western armies of either German , England French would combat in East Europe or Arabia/Anatolia and get woped in spite of being invincible by lighter cavalry in nefarious weather or land traps....Just to get a clue...

Her: So... what do you do for a living? Him: It's complicated...
