playing as a knight today reflects just as it did in medieval times. only the rich can play, the rest of you peasants must watch. probably the only part of knighthood that has stood the test of time lol.
@@briantriplett2455 Yeah you can get a decent set of armor for cheaper, that one looks like it's a bit more expensive. There was a time when I was going to join the IMCF (international Medieval Combat Federation) the prices in my range were 5-10K USD. It's a fun looking sport, you should check it out.
neat, but you can tell she was scared to death from the start. she didn't even try to strike the opponent, really. no aggression. no desire to win, only to compete.
Agression has no place in solid lance jousting, it’s all about precision and control. Being terrified to death is normal doing this, if you choose to go all in aggressive you can lose it all, including any opportunity to get a chance to ever do this again.
@@benvankoert5661 all fighting is the same, and the best defense is a good offense. ALWAYS apply pressure to your opponent and break them physically, or in this case, mentally. She was beaten the minute she sat on the horse, and the results prove as much. If she did it 10 more times the results would be much the same. There's a difference between training and getting in the ring. There's a reason it's called a "killer instinct" ;)
Hitting in jousting is part of the game, but before this can happen ALL the prerequisites need to be covered: - Years of training in riding horses so you can ride well enough on unknown horses in faraway countries. - Years of investing in the correct armour and knowing how to move well in it and becoming so intimate with it that knowing when things are wrong with it that you know blindly where the problem lies and how your crew can fix it, even if they are inexperienced with your harness. - Making sure you’ll provide a good and safe target for your opponent at all times during the run. - the process of aiming and hitting should be muscle memory, all the while when you should be able to abort the hit at all times when it’s not safe to do so. This could mean the opponents horse’s head is too high, your opponent may have an armour malfunction which could mean your hit can be lethal, the wind could have picked up, visor has shifted so you can’t see well enough, hair in your face, muscle cramps.. anything can happen.. Inexperienced rookie jousters sometimes try to hit regardless because of insecurity, feeling they have something to prove or because they simple don’t have enough experience to spot trouble when it occurs. I’ve been there myself. It’s truly and absolutely commendable that Caro did her runs how she did them. She played safe, consciously and with intent, waiting for the moment that felt right, like the professional she is... ..missing by mere centimeters, close to the safest area to do so.. .. all the while when she’s being hit by the hardest hitting jousters in the world and standing her ground. All that in her first time of doing this with solids after literally traveling to the other side of the planet. So in short: I disagree.
A girl that Jousts? That has gotta be the most attractive ever!
Why only one pass? Isn't it best of three?
She may have missed, but she took the blow like a champ.
Beautiful!

That armor has to cost at least 15-20k USD.

More slow mo hits so I cant actually judge the strength

It is evident how wise you are in the ways of martial arts, including jousting.
U suck, Karl Karsnark.
@@KarlKarsnark dude is right tho and ya'll are mad. I'm sure there are women out there who can compete, but she didn't want it.
All this drama and she missed it at the end? Wtf? This is so anticlimactic lol
