I remember the time I was there, there was part of the story where there was a dark rider and he gave out the most evil sounding laugh.

These guys are good. I can’t imagine how much it costs to resource this level of training and outfitting.

I watched this with my son many years ago on TV. Now he's a knight. Pretty amazing all the hard work that goes into it, in all the castle. Kudos to them for all the efforts and enthusiasm that they put forth to put on a most excellent show!!!!

i love how the shields just fuckin explode for no reason lmao. went to this show wayyy back (like 2008-2009) and i was about 7-8 at the time. it felt so real to me and definitely am gonna take my kids in the future.

And just look where Matt Hiltman is now: a finalist in FMJ. I'm pulling for him to win!!

I work with full contact jousters at renfaires where it's NOTchoreographed. it's funny to see the difference in performance between a staged joust and a real one. that being said, I'm friends with several ex-Medieval Times knights. It's fun to see their origins :p

I've been a Lady of the Realm for about a decade now and I can't wait to be dubbed again on my birthday!

They do switch colors. Matt Hiltman, the head knight and green knight at the moment, has also been the prince and the red-and-yellow knight in the past year or so. They do one or two shows pretty much every night. They'd get bored at some point otherwise.

Awesome!! They say that there aren’t many horse sports where you ride one handed (and do other tasks with the other). I ride my pony in Mounted Games and we race, steer and stop one handed, and do all sorts of different tasks with our other hand! We even have one race called joust, but you hit a target with a lance instead of another person. It looks like a ton of fun to work at MT, and it looks like the team atmosphere is really strong. I hope all the castles are doing well during this pandemic 😷

I went for the first time two weeks ago. It was amazing!!

Alot involved i did expect. You have to be ok with having eyes on yoy live stage...bravo to all 5he hard workers who put this together. I hope work life is far to everyone there . What a opatunity this is well done. Animals are hard work aswell .to train the animals and know how to rid is incredible work...well done hope this restaurant last many decades to come.🇦🇺😉💖🥂👍

this was great.

I cheered so much, I lost my voice for 2 days XD.

You start as a page 1st when your 7 years old and turn into a squire at the age about 14 and becomes a knight between the age 18-21 Edit:Btw how I know is that I'm going next week on Wednesday and my teacher is teaching medieval times stuff

i LOVE medieval times... i went twice last year, and each time i came out, shocked and amazed :) whoever thought of it, if they didn't i would have :D im putting an application in to be a groom because i have A LOT of horse experience

Very interesting.

And my parents said I couldn't be a knight when I grew up

Wow.

I went to the website to see how to sign up but the only result I got was finance accountant or something like that. Any advice or suggestions? Any help is MUCH appreciated!!

Well that must be the coolest job ever :)

I wonder how much of the fighting is actual combat technique and how much of it is theatrics?

I really miss the old show in the 1990s, when it was more a historical reenacttment of a joust, focusing on fighting and horse skills, the actors having a small announcement function. I assume for insurance reasons or low pay for knights, the fighting has been decreased by 70 percent, and of lower quality and danger. The experience is mostly a Disney-esque narrative--disappointing...

Question: Why don't you guys wear real chain mail?

@jonathancollins9057

3 жыл бұрын

Because this a stage performance rather than unchoreographed, full contact fighting. It's light and wouldn't take a toll on the performers overtime. The faux chainmail makes them more flexible and agile. Also, one can imagine how expensive real chainmail would cost to keep for this show for all the performers as well as the repair cost for them if they got damaged. I also believe chainmail was fitted for the knight because not every knight has the same body dimensions. That would've been another factor to keep in mind if real chainmail was used.

They work as hard as pro-wrestlers, but we get the shit for being fake...oh well my hats off to these men, working with weapons like this is much more dangerous, although we actually get hit full force.

Is one of the prerequisites to have long hair? I have thin hair and keep it short. That being said I can grow a decent beard. Off topic, my name is Arthur and Polish Hussar flows through my blood.

@@YouKnowItsVain Its mostly just comes down if you are a hard worker and if you have the look. If you are 300 lbs and 5'5, your chances are not that good. My advice is to get the job as a squire first then workout and show that you are dedicated to become a knight.

trust me on this they act nice in these records but they are prejudice. "Knights must look a certain way". and management is horrible. the fake Knights can do anything they want and not get in trouble, while in any other department, (spotlight), you get spoken too about the same thing but the "knights" get ignored cause they're the most important part of the show.. they can upload fooling around with the weapons on Facebook backstage and be ignored which is very dangerous when "safety is the main priority". and the Cash control manager made someone quit because during a meeting she brought up to the person "well you were out for awhile cause your sibling died". and the main manager didn't say anything, there's something wrong with a few of the people working here

Sophia Equestrian Foaming from the mouth when the horse is doing physical exertion, especially when in dressage, is actually a sign that the horse is relaxed and calm. Whenever a horse is stressed or in pain, their mouth will dry up and they won’t salivate. These horses spend the first 2 years of their lives on ranches surrounded by people and then to Medieval Times where they get water fountains, professional trainers and handlers, 24/7 vet-care, and even heating pads in their stable. The horse whip is one of the best devices to use during horse training and they don’t actually whip the horse; more like a tap on its rear our hooves to reaffirm positive behavior which does NOT harm the horse, as they’re very sturdy with resilient skin and these whips are not designed to hurt. Don’t spread misinformation because of your lack of knowledge on how this establishment treats their animals!!
