So some of the points given would have done shit to the enemy, especially those strikes instead of thrust‘s. Just because it have some kind of blade it would go through leather armor or so

Hyoga vs Tsukasa (protecting Mirai): 00:31

I feel grabbung the soear would be the best form of defence against it.Still doesnt put you at great odds at all.

0:32 This is exactly when you should move in with a sword. Realistically, if you have at least chainmail on, you should be fine.

im just laughing at the calling of a bout because the side of a spear blade made contact to the opposition. lmfao. while the opposition is still pressing. please dont blow your gay little whistle until real things have happened ya?

I'm fairly confident a thick jacket would have been enough armor to make those spear hits useless

bu...but...the movies...

Always spear win

Swords have been romanticized and glorified throughout centuries in books and in decades through movies, and television series. Spears have been relegated, in most people's minds, as weapons used mostly for hunting for big game in large groups of men. One gets overrated while the other gets underrated. Only those knowledgeable with the history of weaponry, are capable of assesing their advantages and disadvantages. The rest of us idiots would do well in learning from these subject matter experts.

This is why people used shields in battle.

the only melee weapon better than a speear is a longer spear (until its too long and too heavy)

Looks a lot different than the movie. I get the feeling that a regular guy training one month with the spear, could realistically challenge an expert swordsman.

I feel like a bad thing about a spear that's not shown in sparring is if you stab and it isn't fatal or incapacitating, it's fairly easy to grab the spear and you're pretty much a dead man at that point... Definitely good for the warzone with allies. But as for a duel, I don't think I'd want a spear. Much prefer some good armor and a longsword and or a blunt damage weapon.

I’m here watching sword vs spear videos after seeing Musashi Miyamoto fight Inshu just to see how it would actually be in real life

Spear Supremacy!

This is why fencing isn't historically accurate. Note that these one-offs for points are clearly not lethal. The spear guy is disarmed or dead with most of those strikes.

I feel like a buckler and a shorter sword might fare better.

I don't understand why the swords men only seen to go in straight lines.

Im not the one to do these unique fighting techniques and stuff but if i ever do stuff like this im just gonna doing it like I'm play for honor irl

nothing beats long pointy stick

if armor was worn that spear would not even dent the steel plating the swordsmen would step right in and kill

no way a guy with a sword is getting close to someone with a spear

I love the spear. It's when the enemy is a knight sheathed in armor that the broadsword, axe, and mace come in real handy.

Did spear guy try to use his spear as an axe?

My only gripe with Spears in Hema duels.. (I know hema has restrictions on blunt force and restrictions in general ) But many times when shorter weapons get a hit on a spear. I can't help but feel that the spear forgets they are holding a Staff with a knife on the end. Alot of spear users I see are robotic and very stabby. I get it , it's a spear and thrusting is effective.. , but it's very predictable because they fight like thier in a shield wall they end up getting flanked like one. Spice it up with something like a love tap to the leg (Smack) and rake backwards to simulate the pointy end tearing the leg flesh for example

Nothing gets in Nothing gets out. Pointy stick is always a threat!

There is a reason humans have used spears since prehistoric times.

The swordsman is not doing it right. He should use one hand in the sword and grab the stick of the spear with the other hand.

I never realized the spear was such a potent combat weapon. I always saw it as a throw once weapon and then pull out the sword for engagement.

The weight of this practice spear is equal to the weight of the real spear, but the weight of the wooden spear is not the same as the metal spear

Swords are like pistols and spears are like rifles. Just because John wick(protagonist) uses a pistol(sword) doesnt mean pistol(sword) has advantage over rifle(spear)

Untrained spearman vs untrained swordsman: spearman wins Trained spearman vs trained swordsman: spearman wins. Swords are like pistols while spears are like rifles. People prefer swords because they look pretty and fancy but spear will always kick their asses

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Some tips, from a Chinese point of view, if you are interested: - The spear is primarily a thrusting weapon, so we thrust continuously and relentlessly (sliding the rear hand all the way to meet the lead hand for maximum reach) at various targets until the opponent is dead, rather than swinging or launching single thrusts - although swinging does have its uses. - We never let go of the spear with the lead hand to get greater reach. It causes us to overextend, lessens our control of the weapon and we have no way to block if he manages to counter. - We always grip right at the butt with the rear hand, thus maximising the length of the spear. If we need to strike with the butt, we can slide the rear hand. - We keep the swordsmen at spear's length, rather than moving in to sword's length. Kind regards.

Isn't that an Estoc? That looks too thin to be longsword

I fight a spear wielder weekly in hema, I do the longsword, or sabre, and while I can block a spear until I tire out. Closing the distance for a strike is near impossible.

I am not saying with this strategy the swordsman always win, but if the swords man is that passive, it is more likely for him to lose to spear. at last step forward little by little

As a short person with short limbs, that is how it feels like trying to get close to big guys while doing kickbox sparring.😂

Крестьянин с копьём

I think a group of swordsmen with shields could beat a group of bowmen a lot quicker than a group of spearmen with shields could do.

Spear is op and Sword is good

i hope the guy in white and gold wins

The reason people dont like spears is because people enjoy the sword more theres way more strategy to it were as someone with a spear and little experience can fair quite well against an experienced swordsmen which is disappointing, also for modern day LARP kind of stuff using spears makes other peoples weapons in it pretty useless so if your favourite weapon was an axe of course youd hate people with spears because they can ruin your day thats why no one wants to admit there better. (Also once someone closes in your doomed with the spear so people prefer sword for that)

Tsk tsk... Ox guard against polearms, tip down.

spears are lighter and faster than a sword, this gives more chances in an attack

В таких боях не учитываются защита доспехов. Почему то мечник не скользит лезвием по древку прорываясь к противнику. Адепты копья напоминают мне адептов тотального конного превосходства

Spears aren't that superior as some people think. Wood part is exposed to damages and with good reflexes can easily beaten.

Spear is asilly outmatch when two swords are on the board, the scene where the sword user rushed at his opponent, he could easily win, the tech of spear is thrusting but if the sowrd user rushed, and moved a little asside the spear guy could lose since, sword user got out of his range, since hes behind the tip, yes spear user can go backwards or block it since its big stick, but there is not alot time, the sword user can go or up, it really depents on the skill, littelary every weapon can beat spear if theres enough knowledge. Ps: just my opinion, and for those "who asked", you asked since you answered this question.

Bro actually understands the spear, finally good to see that.
