Isn't that a little long for a Naginata? or is it just the camera angle?

[mekugi]

@ishimorikuma It's just frichen huge!

[kaptenlemper]

beautiful. there's just something about polearms...

[Thyressarexus]

Well, that goes for every good weapons. Weapons are made to defeat, hurt, or even kill your oponents, so that's how they're meant to work... But in the end it all comes down to the user.

@ishimorikuma : Technically a naginata doesn't have a specified length. The haft is just supposed to be as long as the user is tall. Which in this case is a little large, but it looks like he can handle it.

Wow that's one big ass Naginata

[maarhoefe]

@vampchick1684 that is indeed a comfortable size but it will get unfair if i fight a small japanese guy i will have a pole 2 meter and a blade 40 centimeter that makes my range mutch longer than my oponents

[5T0RML0RD]

lmao thats about the size of a hoplite wtf! hahahaha

[belisariusorb]

jo, bo, so, naginata, yari... I love all these polearm weapons, the grace of the actions is so appealing

[mekugi]

@vampchick1684 Where are you getting this from, exactly? Furthermore, why is it that the older, traditional schools have naginata ranging 6-10 foot long *at the shaft*, while the Japanese people in days of yore were generally at or just over the five foot mark? Doesn't make sense to me! Before there were social constraints on weapons, or before they were used purely for "self defense" (as was the case of the naginata) swords, spears, et al were extremely long.

[vampchick1684]

@mekugi Traditionally, a naginata's pole was the length of your body, while the blade extended above your head. The style of naginata determines the length and shape of the blade.
