  • Medieval Times is a family dinner attraction inspired by an 11th-century feast and tournament. Customers are served a four-course meal and treated to sword fights and jousting tournaments.
    Following is a transcript of the video.
    Ivan Guevara: My name is Ivan Guevara. I am a knight here at Medieval Times. I've been doing this for approximately six years now. When I started here I started just as a squire. It was a part-time job and I saw how everything that the knights did and riding horses and fighting and it felt very emotional to me, like it was very captivating how all the guys would just go at each other and fight and made it so realistic and I just wanted to do that myself and I started training to do so. Six months to a year of training so we can learn the choreography and the horseback riding. It's a very physical job. Sometimes we can land wrong, get a sprained ankle or something but that's why we train. We practice every day on the regular to make sure that we eliminate hurting each other or eliminate like an accident with a horse. More than physicality, believe it or not, it's a lot of discipline. Discipline, discipline, discipline, because you want to do something, you want to make sure that you're capable of doing it every day. Like, constantly just be in there, put them in the ward no matter what happens in your outside life. If you wanted to come in here with an attitude of I'm gonna get this done. I'm gonna go through with it and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it. You can work yourself into having a good physical body but if you don't have the discipline to do so, then it's going to be really tough to become part of what we do here. It takes a lot of discipline. I really enjoy when little kids come and then they come after to another show and they say, "Do you remember me?" I've had little girls literally just hug me and start crying because they were so happy that like … nothing beats that.

      Fox Wolf knights during medieval times had brutal training the training standards were high knights had to be physically strong quick and battle hardened also real life knights were never chivalrous they were more like mercenaries real duals would include knights hitting vital parts of the body for injury in battles knights would stab for leathal spots such cutting heads hands and stabbing neck and arteries knights were not merciful chivalry In medieval times was ones own interpretation of what chivalry is knights thought chivalry meant going into battle and killing enemies the idea of a knight being chivalrous was invented by the Victorian poets however not all knights were barbarians some were good people that poets during the time made up stories like merlin for example
      Chivalry was way of a man behaving to a woman in a gentleman like manner it was a syestem of helping men control their urges and being realixed in the 15 16 19 century chivalry was very practiced by lots of men until the 21 century which has become a very disappointing generation with weak haples beta males with no courage and confidence

    • @zephricus2089
      @zephricus2089 4 года назад

      The idea is to make it feel epic like a movie. If they were fighting like 6 year olds with sticks the choreography would not look nearly as good. Lots of work goes into making every action visible to everyone watching.

      Sometimes, you're trying to connect a bind, to feel the opponent out. I'n the historic manuals, this is common practice, but yeah... it's highly hollywood-ified. ;)
      What's inexcusable is the binds where they just lock and push the swords against each-other... Like.. What?!??!

    Realistic, yet is far from reality....
    Knights didn't fight with honor, they fought like savages.
    They wouldn't strike at you with the tip of their sword, they would swing the guard into your shoulder blade to break your armour apart, or into the side of your head to kill you with blunt force.
    They would smash the bottom of their shields into your knee to smash it.
    Armor didn't make sword fighting safer, it made sword fighting include blunt force and heavy weapons designed for crushing bones. Thats what knights were specialised with.

      @paweandonisgawralidisdobrz2522 7 лет назад +1

      Blunt? goo.gl/images/TbLsfJ
      You can’t cut plate armour.
      You can cut a head of even two at a time but you can’t just cut armour.
      Most knight died killed with daggers stabbed not in the plates but in between plates. Knife fighting techniques were present in medieval Europe. About the knee. It you have full plate armour its impossible to break leg. Litteraly plates wont flex in wrong dirrection meaning they will allow someone to sit on you knee if you are resting foot on something with rest of leg in air. Also shield werent used on foot if you had full plate armour-there is no point. Of you have armour then Whats the point for shield?
      On horseback yes but on foot?
      And medieval Blunt weapons werent brutish oversized primitive weapons.
      People understood physics and knew that speed can generate a lot of power.
      And even including Blunt force armours were still very strong. There is a reason why they were used until 1700s (somethimes in 1800s) good armours were able to survive any sword, spear or axe strike, musket or arquebus shots and a lot of Blunt force.
      When you think of medieval war hammers you think of something like this goo.gl/images/9vEaXM
      When this one is what it really looked like (one handed) goo.gl/images/uoc4V4
