The tournament included jousting, the sport we see on TV, in which knights charged each other on horseback with lances.
The melee was another sport of the tournament, in which knights, and sometimes infantry, charged each other in sport combat. It was sport, but it was also deadly.
There were other forms of Martial Arts, called hastiludes. Some of which, such as the tupinaire, we know by name, but we do not really know what they were.
There were other, somewhat less violent, sports. One was jousting at a barrel of water, which would douse the knight in the event of a poorly aimed strike. Another was jousting at a practice dummy, which could spin violently if hit.
Most of these sports were banned because they could be deadly. They have been recreated, but with an eye to safety.
King Henry II of France died as a result of injuries from jousting.
