Roncola piemontese - Billhook as a weapon

The use of the traditional billhook of the region of Piemont in north Italy. These methods may have been heavy influenced by gypsy(sinti) harvesters living in northern italy since the late middle ages.
NOTE: Training with sharp weapons may cause bleedings!

Love it! I really like the beauty of simplicity that many rural Italian methods have :)

Thank you..yes...the "keep it simple" attitude is unfortunally many times one of the first things getting lost when a "method" becomes a "martial art"

As someone who loves weapons of all kinds both modern, ancient, & improvised I am surprised I never gave thought to how a billhook could be utilized, thanks.
