These two are from the Academy of Historical Fencing and they are sparring with a spear versus a sword and buckler. The sword is a light blade, but here’s a good example of European spear combat. Notice, they hold the end of the weapon to extend it’s reach and maximize the momentum with quick bursts.

Previous PostI have a character that’s using a Halberd, but I don’t really know how that kinda stuff works. Like how would they practice with it and how they would use it.Next PostHi, I have a character in a fantasy setting who mainly uses a bow for hunting animals and monsters, and also carries a sword in case of close combat. I’ve read over your post about the bow, but I still have a question. If she’s in close combat and using her sword, what does she do with her bow? Bows don’t really have sheathes. Is she just supposed to toss it on the ground and run the risk of someone stepping on it?
