Description

This online biography of Rod Walker appears on the History.com website for the television show Full Metal Jousting. Rod, a founding member of the International Jousting Association, is one of the coaches on the show. The show is a televised jousting tournament over a number of weeks in which contestants compete for a cash prize. As their medieval counterparts did, the jousters/knights ride horses wearing armour and helmets, and carrying a lance and shield with which to combat the other contestant. Jousting is described as ‘the most dangerous collision sport in history’. Full Metal Jousting premiered on April 15, 2012.

Rod Walker is from the New South Wales city of Bathurst where he runs the jousting company Full Tilt and performs at local events.
