Diniz CabreiraThis 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.
