Sometimes you hear about sports from hundreds of years ago and think “wow, that is preeeetttty brutal”. Other times you think “you know what, that’s actually pretty cool”.
No matter which way you slice it, you’re probably not going to get a first-hand experience beyond Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. Unless of course you put some modern twist on it, likely making it just a little bit safer.
Take water jousting, for example. The sport takes the main elements of jousting, except instead of galloping towards each other on horses, you row at each other in boats.
Honestly, this looks like it could be a pretty way to pass the time in cottage country. All you need is two boats, about 12 rowers, and two brave souls that have a bone to pick with each other!
