Jousting is, of course, the backbone of the IJA.
Joust tournaments can be run by the IJA-Canada itself or by private individuals or groups. The IJA and the IJA-Canada set standards for equipment and the running of tournaments, and offers sanctions and assistance to those who wish to run tournaments following the IJA rules.
The association rules, equipment specifications, certification requirements and some personal training exercises are set out in the IJA Members Book and the IJA-Canada Members Book, both of which are included with IJA-Canada membership.
