I'm working on some high fantasy and the main character's favored weapon is a spear. Unfortunately, I had no clue how to actually use a spear and therefor how to write it, so thanks a bunch!
Omg same here! I was researching forms on how to use a spear correctly cause my main character was supposed to use a spear for the most part as well! Small world we live in😂
Honestly I'm so happy I found this comment! I'm doing a fanfiction where the main character's sword is destroyed and he's taught to use a special spear (one end spear, the back end has a khopesh sword instead) by a new teacher. This video and others are helping me create a viable fighting style for it!
I’m a fan of spears unlike most who love swords so I’d love to learn to use them even if it seems essentially useless in peaceful time even non peaceful
This is a two fold video for me. I've always loved the idea of learning the spear. I'm decent with the blade from the Marines. I know the spear is by far superior to most fighting weapons with it's reach and flexibility in a fight. Now I'm playing a VR game on my Oculus 2 called Legendary Tales. It actually uses real mechanics and gives you bonus dmg when you do the move correctly. So I'm learning how to use a spear and playing games with my son at the same time. Great job Kali! Thanks for the tips!
I personally just like the style of the spear and the different ways they are designed as well as the different applications for them, thanks for the video.
@@michaelpopup ah... It's called MINE(An elite school trilogy) ... I'm supposed to come up with a new name... But I haven't found one that clicks yet.... You'd like to read it?
I found this video about a year ago and it started me on my Kali journey. I've wanted to study FMA ever since I saw the Human Weapon Escrima episode, and your channel has made that dream a reality. Thank you Paul. Keep up the good work.
Spear is the most effective weapon for home defense, providing the opponent is not using firearm AND your house is not too narrow. Spear provides longest reach in cold steel world that can easily cope with short knives or even machete that robbers often use. They don't stand a chance against even the first thrust with short combat knives or machete on their hands. Thrust is quick, powerful, long reach and thus, extremely hard to dodge the attack. Spear is used along the history and it witnesses the growth of almost all civilization on earth, Asia and Europe, small and big kingdom. While enchanting sword is the primary weapon depicted in war movies due to its cool look, well in fact, spear, crossbow and other long range weapons were the real primary weapons on battlefield for both infantry and cavalry. Sword is only often the secondary weapon of ancient soldier that is always attached on belt just in case the primary weapon held on their hands, the spear, is broken during combat.
Spear, Shield and Bow in my opinion are humanity true weapons, a wise man once said "give value to the things that surpassed the test of time" these 3 equipment were used by almost all folks and were in almost all wars due to how effective they are, they have changed and evolved a lot and new fighting styles and stances were created, with a specific sword there's not that many different styles while the spear changed a lot, even though my favorite weapon is the Sabre and Rapier I recognize the Spear, Shield and Bow as humanity true weapons and I think if we create something like a lightsaber and start using it on battlefield the spear will still domain, power, reach, speed, technique, usability, the spear is a master at all
@@LuisFelipe-pq9lr there's not that many types of swords? And I kinda get where ur coming from with the test of time but then again kinda not. No one uses a spear any more or have they for a long time unless in a 3rd world country. If any melee weapon was to be considered to endure the test of time id say the axe/ hatchet would be the only one along with knife. Only 2 still being used in the military today. Bow replaced by rifle. For silence.. well guess what replaced that. Spear fell out before we were fighting red coats kinda maybe a little after as well bow. Give me a ak or sks and 1000 rounds of 7 62 and I'll take on 100 guys with bows spears and swords
@@colepiland6361 I think you're overestimating yourself. 100 guys? You're dead. But yeah, we use guns for a reason lol. They are far superior. Where guns exist, ancient weaponry has limited use cases for combat.
Everyone wants a sword but a trained swordsman against a normal joe with a spear and more often than not the spearman wins if they play it safe. There's a reason it's always been such a useful weapon.
Spears are easier to use than a sword. There's a reason why the primary weapon of ancient and medieval warriors around the world and why ut was called the king of the battlefield . If someone invaded your home armed with a knife a spear is a perfect weapon to keep your distance while giving you the range to attack. You also have the option to use the blunt side to incapacitate instead of killing.
Train with a spear is an effective training, it gives you strength, resistance, stamina and general stability; also turns you faster and burns a lot of calories in a few minutes so is the best cardiovascular training. And obviously in some situation you can fight with a spear
Check out the cold steel boat spear. Thought it would be cheap, broomhandle with a sharp tip. Was mildly surprised. Taller than me. Blade size of my head. Thick handle. Very nice. And still less than a hundred bucks
I learned and trained Pekiti Tersa from Tom Bisio, Tuhan W,McGrath an got to train several sessions w SGM Leo Gaje jr. I subscribed to your well done channel
The extra distance is roughly half the width of his torso, as seen from the fact that his left hand is at solar plexus for one and armpit for the other.
I hope to in this video learn how one Blocks a Strike from another Spear user. I have a conflict down the line between two characters of mine that both use Spears.
Good stuf pratical This can be useful with any long o medium size weapon Also fits with the stick and bladed weapon techniques U show in other videos Thimbs up Paul
Even though I've found myself preferring sabers and longswords over other weapons, I find myself inexperienced in a spear, which I find might work well for me. So thanks for giving some basic tips!
The most underrated weapon but if you think about it, easy to make incredible effective, have some blades on the sides so nobody can grab it and it’s the deadliest weapon ever, perfect for home defence when they come into your house. Can also be used against large predators like bears or mountain lions
Can you apply both spears and shields? Filipinos employed spears and shields the most during warfare in the past. I don't know how'd they utilize it because most kali videos I've watched mostly show blade techniques.
Holyshit, this was so fascinating, educational and therapeutic to watch. Way more interesting than working out in a hot stinky gym with a bunch of other sweaty guys. This is the way I want to train, doing something that actually has practical benefits and outside in a beautiful environment surrounded by Nature.
Um...I have a three-foot long dancing cane...wait, I also have a six-foot hollow metal pole in the garage, which is actually lighter than the cane. Between the two, I can drill. Thanks for the instruction! I would love to see more videos! It's good research for a novel I'm writing. It's a really small part of the story, but I want to get the details right.
What's the best stance when you're right handed ? Left hand forward or right hand forward ? I'm guessing you'd want your most powerful hand holding the base, so left hand forward and right hand back would seem to be the best choice. But I could be wrong.
something interesting to me is that even today, bayonets are attached to rifles essentially making it into a spear. so in theory youd use spear skills long before youd use sword skills
Yeah, the spear was the first sophisticated weapon created by man, right after or at the same time of the flint knife. Easy and fast to use, with four basic angles of parry and quick thrusts. If the spear point would break, the shaft could still be used as a staff or club.

'Never bring a sword to a spear fight.'
Basic Fire Emblem Triangle 😤
How about some light sabers?
unless you have a shield.
You can. just gotta close in quickly. Ideally, not a good situation though if you can't close that gap.
@@Craig919, unless you brought a fairly large shield, your odds of surviving that attempt to close are laughably bad

Always just do what you enjoy. Don't follow others into a trend that will end when you could be doing what you want. ;)
Yeah I like swords and how to fight with them but I like spears almost just as much and it was fun learning how to use it🤩
Agreed. I feel like being able ri have some skill with a spear is never a bad idea.
You can always fish with a spear. Try doing that with a sword lol.
Wisdom from Dancig beard you pray that you don't have to use this training but if you do it must be done by stealth
Can't get enough of the spear and short staff, Paul. Keep it coming and thank you, sir.

“Long thrust and short thrust” are exactly the same length
😏
It's not the length that matters, it's how you use it
@@dionaeamuscipula6649 I thought it was girth
I think long thrust gets you a few extra inches. Notice how his elbow is bent for the short thrust but straight in the long thrust.
The extra distance is roughly half the width of his torso, as seen from the fact that his left hand is at solar plexus for one and armpit for the other.
Short and long thrust are the same distance, if you use the tip of your spear and the power line into your house roof as a guide.
thanks my brother never stood a chance
muy buen video muy bien explicado gracias
Pls do one on double handed axe
I just started larping and spear seems to be my best weapon. This'll help me alot
I just bought a spear but don't know how to use it. Your video has given me great insight on spear practice.
Just bought an antique Azande spear, so this was great to watch
In the short thrust this source stops the left hand at the solar plexus. With the long thrust the left hand stops at the axiilla.
Im self teaching myself about spear and Kali cause my staff which is a mop stick can detach into two stick, which is cool thank you for the video

Long spear should measure 1-2 feet taller than you.

Short and long thrust, OK. But the tip of the spear reach the same exact distance on both, so why bother?
