How to Throw a Spear Like a Real Maasai Warrior

[@user-pu8dj9mv9u]

1:30 just casually says that he has killed 3 lions with a spear.

[@rileycoppicus1128]

that was a good historic lesson but no information on how to properly throw it

[@flysubcompact]

The Masai are badasses. Saw one video where three of them bluffed off a pride of lion off a kill to take some meat. That takes some stones.

[@tjsogmc]

Yeah, I remember seeing that one also. The went in and sure enough stole the lions' kill away from them. 4 or 5 lions if I remember correctly. Stones don't cover it- some kind of metal perhaps...

[@simonweiss7785]

I think that was another tribe. Badass nonetheless tho

[@dr.fukmabussey2250]

Probably stole a tiger paw

[@ShadowPlay1919]

Games and Stuff its a joke

[@cedrikmartin4853]

Games and Stuff he was assuming he stole something because in massai culture you lose your arm if you steal something.

[@MinZilla]

Games and Stuff he probably would've made that joke if that was a white man too.

[@viviennechristineranola5277]

Sharp spear. The Maasai warriors can throw it with great accuracy.

[@misterdanny8644]

That is truly a fletched war dart

[@cojack7470]

Your right bro.

[@SaveliyShabanov]

During the hunt it used with different side so not really , but used with this side kind of

[@ogloc6308]

its not fletched though lol they’re throwing it backwards to practice marksmanship. They throw it with the spearhead forward while hunting

[@denis3208]

They are very respectful and sound more educated than many people with PHD that I've met, that is what our ancestors used to call human greatness.

[@jonplasterer4803]

The most difficult part is throwing the spear without having your blankets coming untied and being naked and laughed at by the whole village

[@redicon9027]

Look closer.

[@dustin1931]

I don't believe it's sharp until that guy cuts his other arm off with it.

[@mainansonia]

amazing

[@ogloc6308]

that spear head is massive. very cool design

[@joshuabts8352]

Amazing.

[@maxlinck9037]

I was searching for information on HOW TO throw a spear, which the title promised - it’s unfitting

[@carbon1255]

What is with the silly arrow sound effects? spears make no noise through the air.

[@seba6078]

Neither do arrows really

[@morelhunter3966]

HetmanBastius arrows actually do, the feathers make it.

[@AzaniorTheZooted]

Carbon 12 it depends on the spear

[@floatingchimney]

@Carbon 12, Wrong, every matter that passes through air makes some amount of noise. The noise created is directly proportional to the amount of air mass being displaced by the passage of the matter through it. Spears definitely make noise, you'd hear it if were to pass by your head.

[@SaveliyShabanov]

It’s just a sound effect bro

[@kennethlamar4792]

Strong warriors

[@ding1466]

How come one warrior gets the tail and the other the paw? What is the significance of those parts(the tail specifically)?

[@simonweiss7785]

Great👍 In Germany we call this spear ,,hogfeather". If it can take down a wild boar I don't know what animal it can't take down so those spears in the video are very effective❤️

[@simonweiss7785]

If the big part is also used to spear I mean. If not it's still great craftsmanship with the turn

[@northfire4079]

i love the have one guy say something and then have the other guy confirm it in their native language like (here proof)

Where is this spear on Amazon prime

[@idoonotkno894]

i can tell you've been playing with spears for a while now 0:33

[@alopam]

They find the lion that killed the cattle, question it, file in the evidence and surveillance cam images, and after all paperwork is processed they kill it. Oh and also they never never kill a peaceful wild animal. Just the ones that answered "Yes" to "Are you peaceful or not?". And that's how the Masai spear works! (Also it's very sharp on one end, but we always throw it with the other end forward, all the while holding it by the sharp edge).

[@frog3728]

why mean

[@izzyc.6559]

I'm dying🤣"Also it's very sharp on one end, but we always throw it with the other end forward, all the while holding it by the sharp edge" VERY funny!

[@tjsogmc]

Interesting. And for all these years I thought it was thrown with the broad end first. Small end first makes sense now, it's more stable with the broad head acting like a fin.

[@viciousKev]

I think thats the practice end, with the blade saved for hunting so it wont break

[@therealcloroxbleach9408]

The broad end is heavier though. It would still be unstable due to is flipping mid flight

[@Noah-rc3ip]

i think one end is for throwing and the other is for closer range stuff. Pretty cool design, like a pilum and spear combo

[@SaveliyShabanov]

0:45 he said. They just don’t want to damage the main blade so they throw with bud side

[@spandan_chavan]

[@musthafaiqbalaziz7407]

Can i scren shot

[@brocknspectre1221]

Having seen pictures of these spears, I always imagined that they’d be thrown with the blade forward, but given that the wide blade is behind, it seems like it acts sort of like fletching on an arrow. Interesting.

[@LongMax]

I'm sure they do it as a daily practice solely so as not to mess up the main tip. It looks like both tips are about the same weight, which makes the spear heavy and balanced, yet short. At the same time, the main tip is unforged into a wide and relatively thin blade, it will inflict a large wound on a lion, but it can quickly deteriorate from constant sticking into a tree. In addition, the video itself says that the narrow tip is not for hunting.

I like to imagine since he’s African that his arm was taken by a lion while he was hunting and he managed to fight it off

[@philipstevenson5166]

presumably they dont do much throwing except very short range. otherwise they would have spear throwers. it looks more of a thrusting weapon.

[@redicon9027]

How?

[@KettmanAquatic]

Why does he say they don't use the back side for hunting "its sharp so it sticks into the ground." Then in ever shot they have everyone throwing with that end first. Clearly they do hunt with that side

[@SaveliyShabanov]

They are throwing it into the ground too and they don’t want to damage the blade by hitting rock if miss 1:38

[@diamondemerald116]

Missing arm bruh, I don't wanna spear no more.

[@redicon9027]

You don't need a spear

[@wordragon]

Now imagine if they had actually developed throwing technology like the atlatl...

[@johnmaccallum7935]

I'm sure they have in the past but a true spear is superior for defense as you have the option to stick it multiple times by holding onto it instead of a single throw that leaves you defenseless after it leaves your grasp.

[@wordragon]

@@johnmaccallum7935 Do you know that an atlatl is a spear that you can choose to attach to a throwing handle? It is literally a spear, then if you want you can attach it to the throwing handle. It's clear they did not come up with the tech.

[@wordragon]

@@johnmaccallum7935 -Also every spear is useless after you throw it, if an attack is coming. At least with an atlatl you still have a large wooden handle that can act like a club to defend yourself.

[@johnmaccallum7935]

@@wordragon Good point but against a lion or any other large predator I wouldn't throw my spear or dart. Also I have read of Africans using atlatls in the past.
