Jousting, as a formalized competitive sport, evolved during the Middle Ages in Europe, primarily among knights. While it is difficult to attribute its creation to a single individual, it developed from earlier forms of mounted combat training and tournament practices. By the 12th century, jousting became a popular means for knights to demonstrate their skills and gain honor, leading to its establishment as a prominent event in medieval tournaments.

At lastly most knights were right handed so jousting was formed for right handed people.
