This is an African Weapon. It's not used that way. The hand should all the way down, towards the bottom of the handle. Long story short, use your wrist, one arm.
The mouth was an evolutionary tool used by the first consumers to acquire nutrients by consumption of organics. Now we still do that, and other creative things like kiss and express closed-minded ideas like the concepts of "right" and "wrong" way. Contextualize and use your imagination, my friend. Just food for thought.
@@redzen5149 Many cultures had short spears. Not just African. There are many ways to use a short spear. Japanese system of Tinbe-rochin for example has an elaborate set of moves and different ways to hold the spear.
You're half right in that it was not used in that way in the past. The short assegai was generally used with a shield, and its main function was to get around and in behind the opponent's shield. Not much use against a Martini-Henry at range, but close in against a rifle with a bayonet and it was 'hwyl fawr' - that's 'sayonara' in Welsh! Check the literature on Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift for further information on its historical use, none of which have much to do with this teacher's synthesis of fighting techniques aimed at augmenting the relevance of ancient weapons in modern combat.
Awesome!
If I could find a reason to carry this in my patrol vehicle.....I would.
Animal dispatch!
That would be dope if police all carried assegai spears instead of pistols...
This paired with the cold steel soldier's targe would be great.
The shaft should have a bell shaped end, CS cheaped out with a simple piece of wood.
