The Smashes Jousting Tournament at The Royal Armouries August '23

Full tilt jousting action was back at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds this passed August Bank Holiday Weekend!
The Smashes was a tournament in which Team England hosted Team Australia at the home of British Jousting, The Tiltyard at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds!
Team England smashed their way to victory, with Valentin taking the individual winners spot and as ever I was there and create this short round up of this amazing spectacle!

What happens when one meets a left-handed knight??

[@ainmaloy1727]

There's no such a thing as left-handed knight. At least in jousting

[@jd_jurassic4175]

left handed is the devils hand - no true knight would use that hand

[@Capsainn]

@@jd_jurassic4175wow thats a load of crap 🤣

Reveal thyself!

[@lrslrs4536]

mouais... au final je suis assez déçu je m'attendais à un peu plus de violence

[@chivalricmedia]

ces lances sont conçues pour se briser à l'impact c'est donc plutôt une compétence de précision et d'équitation
