I'm pretty sure it was silly funny for the vikings as well, when they landed at Lindisfarne...... Oh look how I just skewered that monk like a chicken: said Olaf to his friend Ivar.
Can you explain why does it work? Because from my perspective the shieldman was just willingly opening himself after you rub your weapon against his shield.
In this case we are showing it exaggerated for the camera. This move would only be used in certain cases. Many people on shield get complacent and relax their grip if they feel no threat. When this happens the shield is easily moved to create a gap. When on a battlefield with a whole bunch of people and a lot going on. People lose focus of whats in front of them because there will be things happening from all angles. Hope that makes sense
@@horator9895 This works best in the chaos of a large line fight, and I being left handed makes this one much easier. The spears tend to be more twitchy and step back further when under pressure, especially when under a confident attack. This technique is more about trying it repeatedly until it works. Like much that we do in combat sports, you have to reply on your opponents creating the environment to allow you to take advantage. It doesn't work every time. but 20% of the time it works 100% of the time.
@@tatumergo3931 I suppose there's an optimum way of using a Knife on a stick. If you look at sword or polearms, there`s plenty of commonality between Western and Eastern forms. Theres a cool channel where a Kendo Master tries European weapons that sorta highlights this. ruclips.net/video/K6qhERJlENI/видео.html

@@XxVonMullerxX . The technique is not that dissimilar to Nihon sojutsu (yari spear). It would work even better with a wing spear.

Spears are so ancient and Middle Ages bro. Nobody uses them anymore. Drone strikes and assault rifles are the meta now.
All modern armies still use spears. Pop a bayonet on an assault rifle and you have one!
Drones with bayonets attached to them, and a speaker playing Hohei no honryo banzai!
