Knights gather for armored combat in Minnesota #shorts

Nearly 70 knights in shining armor from around the country gathered at an arena in ye olde kingdom of Ramsey. Since there weren’t any dragons to slay, they spent the better part of the day punching, kicking, head-butting and hammering on each other with broadswords, axes and clubs.

This isn’t cosplay, reenacting or Renaissance Festival entertainment. It’s a real — and violent — sport in which teams of combatants outfit themselves in medieval-style armor and bash each other with blunted metal weapons. The win goes to the team with the last knight standing.
