5. The Black Knight

Black Knight

I watched these guys for quite awhile at the Renaissance Faire. Two "knights" would enter the "arena" (ie twined-off area) and proceed to hit each other with sword-shaped sticks.

Each "fighter" had a great pose stance. They held their sticks swords in what looked like an authentic manner. The combatants would then circle around each other and try to predict the other's next move. Then in a great fervor that only the best 5-year old could do, the two would beginning to hit each other with their weapons. While watching the fight, it made me think of my two cats smacking each other.

I shouldn't make fun. I watched these people for a good 20 minutes and enjoyed myself. That is better then most sitcoms.
