This is a small video-recap we made of three defences against an incoming downwards strike from a #polearm (a #spear , a #mordaxt, #poleaxe or even #staff, it doesn't really matter).

Keep in mind this is supposed to be technique for #harnischfechten (full plate combat, late XIV or XV centuries), which explains why the opponent is trying to land a solid strike rathern than lighter pokes which would work against an unarmored opponent.
What is #HEMA?
3/6
I study the teachings of the XIV century fight master Johannes #Liechtenauer . These are usually called #KunstDesFechtens (#KdF, the «art of combat»).
He composed a poem, called the #Zettel, which describes «with secret and hidden words» techniques and advice on fighting with the two-handed #sword (#longsword), in (#Harnischfechten) and out of armour (#Bloßfechten), and also on #horse (#Roßfechten) with the #spear.
(Yep, that's me on the photo, teaching — I'm a #showoff.)
