SHOW DESCRIPTION

A group of modern-day Lancelots and Galahads is donning suits of heavy armor and wielding solid wooden lances, intent on transforming medieval jousting from a staged re-enactment into a full-fledged professional sport.

But that hasn't stopped Andrews from pursuing his dream of taking professional jousting to the masses, and this series chronicles his efforts, including how he must recruit and train a troupe of knights who have the strength, dedication and guts to fight for the championship.
