Knights of Valour: Full Contact Jousting

- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- 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!)

Watching two men ride on horses towards each other and just basically explode when they hit each other is surreal
now that I think about it, it does look like they exploded away at the end
This is a REAL man's sport.
Immagine those people that watches people running dramatically towards a ball just to make ridicolous points, like american football and basketball...
Wrong direction! They should be riding on the left if they hold their lances with right hands!
@@Comte_de_Lorenzo No. That's not how jousting works..
This should be an olympic sport.
No, too dangerous.
@@glsmw Ok Mom
@@sisterapollyon5121 good boy 😁😁 lmao
but the other boys play it all day!
the olympics like sports that are more manly like synchronized swimming and speed walking
These medieval sports are underrated... I'd rather pay tickets to watch this than a ball being kicked around.
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.
So true
Isn't that what I said?
@Caramel Johnson are u dumb? What he is saying is that any one can play soccer u just need a ball and a field and people like to watch sports that they practice like mma and basketball. This jousting shit would cost a lot of money to get in to it.
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?"
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!
It started out as just another training tool to keep Knights prepared for the next war. Later it evolved into tournaments.
@D Anemonholy fuuuuuuck. Its a joke
Well you do realize the whole code of chivalry was designed to keep a class of people who were literally professional killers trained from birth in line. This is just one of the leisure activities they would do to spend the time when not at war, another favorite is hunting... surprise surprise, both involve violence.

I love how something that was a sport hundreds of years ago is still practiced today with such little alteration in the sport.
There is something beautiful about that.
There is, which is why HEMA is way better than something like fencing. In my opinion, anyway.

What about the Olympics?
Whoami691 YEE
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.
Then I can watch it with my new friends God I miss my drinking buddies
Visit a european medieval fair, you will see a lot of the things you mentioned.
Yea. We gotta amp up the big competitions though! Make it a bigger part yesssss precious

If this sport gets as big as mainstream sports, oh boy that'd be epic.
nowadays peoples are too weak for this
Cédric Derwael no they’re not. It’s called training my friend. But if it ever does go mainstream they will have to update the armor. The liability issues due to the high probability of injury are enormous.
@@panzerlieb nah man, the armor functions exactly as it should, also its like half the draw of the sport
Yeah is not like it would be 20 times more expensive.
I will say there is a worry at least among armored combat that guys who do that on the weekends or fight in the sport casually might get ousted out of the sport entirely by “professional fighters”. I’m not sure about this sport if it’s the same but from what I’ve heard a lot do this just for fun 🤷♂️

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.
As european we have shared history / trade networks from begining of time with you❤️🔥👍
@@janihellsten7793 shut up
@@janihellsten7793 no love and no love lost
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.
You could have made it much further much quicker than us if you just ditched your race/countries collectivism and emperialist mentality. China's and most of asias history is just a long line of emperor's oppressing the people.
I mean ffs you guys got rid of one supreme leader "the emperor" and then replaced him with Mao it's pretty funny.
That image on 0:15 is now engraved in my mind. It's so elegant yet intimidating
The chap with the blue lance on the back horse staring down the camera?
Yeah, its cool! 😁
I generally hate sports, but this I could watch.
Hell, this I could PLAY.
because this is training for war not a sport.
I could play this.
Substandard Gamer Kiba Jousting is more of a sport, nobody uses it as a test for war AT ALL since it generally plays out more of a keep your honor
Jousting and hunting was like modern day military exercise, they keep the shape of medieval nobles. There was no sport back then - they trained for war, this was the role of the nobles. War and politics.
That chick wanted that Knights lance for sure lol.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She was about to unhorse him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Aha
You make it look easy ;)
"a knight in shining armor is a man who's never had his metal truly tested"
No, he's a man who takes care of his armour. Only a fool would keep wearing damaged armour when they could afford to repair or replace it.
That, or a really poor knight, I guess.
@@mrmagicfingers Not normally, but even nobility can fall on hard times. I'm certain there were cases of nobles being impoverished.
@@mrmagicfingers Poor knight is a very common thing. In feudal system firstborn child would inherit everything his father have, but what if noble has 10 sons? Even second in line would inherit next to no wealth and last ones were poor as dirt. They still has all the rights coming with nobility status but had to earn their wealth somehow. Most would end up scholars or serving in king's army or simply wandering the land in search of opportunity. In holy roman empire there were so many impoverished nobles some would resort to robbing travelers on the high roads as i.e. rogue knights.
@@steirqwe7956 just goes to show how much dumber people were back then compared to today. Why would the firstborn get everything and the other ones nothing? It should be split equally.
@@TheDennys21 We are talking about inhereting titles and immovable property not just money. Nobleman would have long list of titles such as Duke of This and Duke of that, count of Here and There, baron of a Castlename and the moor. If said titles were split between the heirs it would break one strong realm into couple of weaker separated entities which would make things complicated for everyone including their suzerain. Not to mention all heirs would have de-jure rights on their brothers lands and are able to wage wars on eachother which they would totally do if they are in a positions of +-equeal power and it was kinda of reoccuring theme during early medieval european history before patrilineal primogeniture become videly spread.
It's beautiful that these guys are reviving such a great tradition!
1:57 its been 2 years and still, this is my dream armour
I feel you brother
Well, my case would be the winged hussars
German Gothic armor looks much better
Also you can buy (not very expensive) larp armor elements in Epic Armoury for example, i have almost full armor, its mix of steel plates, chainmail and leather, iits more like fantasy armor than typical historical because they look better in my opinion
Every time a good hit is dealt it looks like the jouster goes into a brief coma
onsidering a hit from these poles is consistent with a pretty bad head on collision on the road... yeah the wind does get knocked out of you for sure.
Really they are, the force of the strike and the weight of the armour theres a good pause of just immobiliy trying to recover from the joust
1:48 In a Korean MMO, the armor will automatically turn into a scantily clad armor.
Yea, it'll turned into a bikini chainmails with small steel plate to cover the nipple
@@fridaynuggies4191 ye and based on the devs decision of realism, the pole would either only gravitate towards, and hit you in the nips and bits or impale you through the gut. Neither sound great to go through
*girl in full armour, gets whacked with a sword.... laughs*
typical for someone fully-armoured getting hit with something barely makes scratches.
i keep telling people armor makes you invincible to bladed weapons including katanas and nobody ever believes me
@@lastor9148 only when it hits the armour.
@@lastor9148 I'm sure even a lower grade metal like brass or bronze would withstand a well forged modern day katana slash.
It would bite in, and technically "penetrate" but it wouldn't harm the wearer, and the katana would likely get stuck, so you are now disarmed.
The force needed to cut through would likely be enough to shatter the wielders own arm or wrist, also if you could generate that kind of force it would be better to end them rightly with a pummel or just a thrown rock, or even just swing a mace, and a thrust/pierce attack would be better than a slash
@@thinkingmachine354 is there something else to hit?, im pretty sure full body armor is full body armor
Why isn't this more famous? I'd rather watch this than most other olympic sports
That's actually pretty sick. Those dudes took some nasty hits, but its awesome they keep this awesome tradition/show alive

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.
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
Here's a primary source mentioning competitors being 'unhelmed', which seems to imply that, at least at one point, helmets were actually not fixed to the plate.
faculty.nipissingu.ca/muhlberger/FROISSART/INGLEVER.HTM
At least they're not using sallets and bevors, as I've seen people do in the past. It is annoying that they aren't using proper frogmouths though.
Especially with them trying to recreate 15th to 16th century jousting. They should have frog style helms.
Everything made by americans is a crap and has low quality or securiry. Nothing surprising here.

You could reduce jousting to something incredibly monotonous too, silly.
Holy fuck this looks brutal...
+Chester “Snapdragon” McFistcuffs Probably less so than jousting in its original context. Nowadays, modern medicine prevents a lot of the injuries involved from being fatal, and the lances are probably designed to be more safe in modern jousting.
but at the same time, we've been breeding horse for far longer now than we had back then, so they're also jousting on stronger, faster horses, which is going to make for a much more powerful impact.
Raptormann0205 I disagree, medieval horses were bred to be beasts of war, strong and able to charge effectively, while the oned we use today for jousting usually come from breeds created for other purposes.
The only problem is that we want smaller, faster, lighter horses now. We don't need the draft horse anymore.
horses in those time were breed to be mean as fuck. there are accounts of horses biting and kicking downed opponents in war.
We're doing this too in France, I hope these people would continue it's very interesting and better than soccer in my own opinion
Got it here In UK too. It's badass to watch.
Soccer is 80 minutes of running around and horrible passing, 5 minutes of diving and rolling around and 5 minutes worth of goal scoring if you're very lucky.
Everything is better than soccer.
@@DieFlabbergast if you are from one of the countries where they call it "soccer", then I believe you
I did videos exposing sports as satanic.
bro, the fact that we don't need to imagine how a medieval joust would have/could have looked like, but we can actually see it is crazy... Honestly: I see why this was a crowd magnet back then, it's just a spectacle, even to this day
Only 1600's kids remember this
I don't watch sports channels, but if they have medieval sports like these, I'd watch the hell out of it.

man this blows medieval times out of the water! full contact! jesus christ i hope you guys have top notch health plans.

How can I join the biz?
I want to make a school dedicated to this. Make history alive rather than looking at books. I am a hardcore historian enthusiast.
I definetly support, however, chivalry is something far from the grasp of humans nowadays.
So when do you do WW2. no jk thats fucked up twisted humor.
You need to go in europe to make history alive and The only historic accurate thing in this video is that horse
I think the reasoning behind that is mostly for safety. They would rather not have their "knights" be impaled during every show, so they make safer designs of armour, and use lances that don't have the capability of stabbing someone.
Maximvs Victa - I love your idea. Just so you know Shane and company also go around to schools/outings explaining history, not just about jousting. I have a degree in history and would love to bring it alive and let people know it is exciting, not the boring stuff taught in so many schools.
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
Why am I laughing so hard at that girl wearing the armour just giggling as they smack her with swords and that 😂
I love how these guys are living their whackey dreams
I personally consider Jousting a genuine cultural tradition that needs to be passed on to later generations. Both me and my ancestors witnessed the joy of two tough ass dudes in badass armor, violently colliding lances into each other while on full charging horseback, my descendants should feel this same excitement as well !
HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A THING AND HOW BADLY I NEEDED IT IN MY LIFE!!!!

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.

A perfect score!
6/9

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

Most of the historical jousting armor is a half armor the legs is protected by the horse armor
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.
For some reason I blundered the fact that people would definitely joust I've known so many medival sports or reaction and never thought of this a year later
Dont let this sport die out.

“We’ve got fans for life”
All 7 seconds of it.
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?
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
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$
How has this shit not taken off but we have slapsport? This looks way more entertaining.

1:59 funniest moment
As a man, I can not agree more with the concept of shortening our lifespan by jousting.
Her: So... what do you do for a living?
Him: It's complicated...
that armour looks good, but it is historically inaccurate unfortunately especially the breastplate.
What exactly is inaccurate about it?
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.
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.
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...
