A lance is a very different weapon than a spear, at least in Europe. A spear is usually about 8ft long but up to 10 or 11 ft in the long and is hardly tapered. The Lance in Europe is about 14 to 18 ft long and it's very tapered along most of the weight in the back where you can couch the Lance. This made the Lance maneuvering very easily on horseback making a maneuverable armored Phalanx formation on horseback allowing knights to charge and maneuver effortlessly running down infantry formations easily with their full armor that is virtually impervious to spears, arrows, and crossbow bolts. Then you had Pikes which is pretty similar to Lance in dimension but it was designed more like a spear but extremely long I think it was around 14th up to 20 ft. Then the Swiss added halberds in the pike formations to help countered armored opponents better. Then the Germans, the Italians and the Spanish created greatswords with many with perry hooks on the blade that can counter pikes, Spears and polearms pretty well.

@@DarkwarriorJah that kind of sounds more like a short pike, but that's interesting. I did notice that some Native American tribe had these long 11 to 13 ft Spears but they're very thin and flexible used pretty different than other people. In the West the spear was a very good weapon but I don't think we would consider the spear as the king of all weapons, the Roman Legions before the Middle Ages have countered the spear on foot with their big shield and short swords pretty well. But the Romans did have their own spear units mostly against Cavalry though. The spear was good for soldiers that didn't train very much, and it pretty useful against cavalry and still useful against infantry so it was a very good weapon but against well-trained soldiers with large two-handed swords especially if they had Perry hooks or soldiers and knights with sword and shields can counter them. And then with the invention of plate armor while Spears are still pretty popular other polearms like Polaxe, and halberd in how the Swiss design them arguably became more popular to deal with such armor soilders and knights.

My karate sensei gave three good reasons for the twirling and spinning. First, it confuses the opponent. As noted, an attack can come from barely any setup, so keeping them guessing when and from what angle the attack is coming is a viable strategy. Second. A spear isnt a weapon. Its two. So mixing in the sweeping hits and spinning parries of staff fighting is also viable. Third. The threat of incidental or collateral hits on those around you from spins and twirls is likely to discourage others from joining your fight, keeping the battle as a 1v1. Likely. Not guaranteed but also nonzero.

The extra reach really ramps up the power. As soon as you introduce a swinging polearm like a poleaxe or halberd, if it is build to withstand light impact, it will knock a person out or break bones when used against any reasonable amount of padding that still allows movement by either person. That's why even lacrosse and hockey have rules about how you can swing their sticks. Even though they are made of super light material and much shorter in length compared to historical weapons. It's a safety issue.

@@f1r3hunt3rz5 I was talking about the battlefield & formations. One on one or small skirmish fighting is kind of a different story. I'm going to see if I can find the video, because very long great swords, especially the ones with parrying hooks on the blade (not to mention cross-guards) are designed to counter polearms, and such while being a sword. Greatswords were also used as a short spear while simultaneously being used as a sword with parrying hooks for extra protection and capture a blade or pole. Such a weapon gave the best of both worlds. As for the Romans, their big shield was a huge obstacle for almost any weapon to overcome that a Roman soilder can rush in by passing the spearhead with his big sheild than attack the Spearman. On top of that, if you are dealing with a man in full plate armor or 2/3 plate armor, a poleax will probably be a much better weapon. Against something like plate armor and chain-mail, while spears are still a very capable weapon, there are other weapons that deal with other certain things. That's why I personally disagree with the idea of the spear being the king of all weapons. I'll take a look at that video, maybe changes my mind I don't know, than again I do historical fencing too but with a shorter end of a German Longsword of about 47 inches long almsot a bastard Sword, I will like to get a 53 and a half inch German Longsword from Siggi though.

Spear is just an extension of limbs. If one cannot maintain proper structure while holding/thrusting the spear, the attack will be weak and direction of force will only be unidirectional. Your front hand is the axis and back hand provide the leverage. Experience Lancer can exert two or three directional force at the same time, eg downward pressure while thrusting. Think of a bridge, the force is coming from the structure not movement.

Back then, swords were only a SIDEARM. If you're down to your sword, you're already losing because the medieval main weapons are pikes, spears, Halberds, and the like. Reach and power were king back then. Even nowadays, if you're in combat, you're using those AR-15s and likewise similar assault/heavy rifles. Pistols are personal defense and sidearms 95% of the time.

In europe the spear is held horizontal, with the point always pointing at what you want to kill. You dont hold it pointing upward. Normally you would not work alone but a pikeman with an axe head on the end of the spear would be beside you. You thrust the spear, and they chop down. The front line of spears would ram together and the pike men would start slamming the axe heads down in a large battle. If you were well trained you could aim better for longer, and sidestep and dodge while doing it, but youd need luck too

You can change the grip to shorten the effective length. And a 2m spear is not limited as a poking weapon - it is usable as a staff also.

Quarterstaff against normal stance would be interesting.

Didn’t spearmen/pikemen fight in heavier armor? Wouldn’t that change how they fought? And in tightly packed formations rather than 1 on 1?

Joachim Meyer (1570) has instructions on fighting 1v1 with pikes and staffs (spears)

What exactly was "military" there? You think it's somehow close to medieval spear technics? No, clearly it's not.

To me spear is a blade stuck on a long pole...Mostly use for stabbing but with proper handling technique we can flash/cut and obviously... BONK

Military spears would have been used mostly in formation no? So this isn't how to use it the way it is typically used, but in 1 on 1 situations

창이라는 무기가 이렇게 표현 되어진다는 것을 보니 정말 이해가 갑니다. 상대방을 공격 할때 실패한다면 바로 방어 영역 까지 움직여야 역공을 당하지 않네요...

Very nice! Do you know "jogo do pau" from Portugal? It would be very interesting to see if you can find a master
