What is the sport where two people have paddles, stand on platforms and try to knock eachother into the water?

Question

I thought it was water jousting, but in this sport people can't be moving. In water jousting they are on gondalas charging at eachother.

Answer 1

It's a made for TV variation of the medival Quarterstaffs. But the fighting techniques you need to use them are still the same.  The military still uses these for training.  

The original ones were  butt-ended sticks and did not have padding.  You could really get hurt if you got drilled with one of those.

Answer 2

i don't know...but it sounds REALLY FUNNNN!!!lol
