Well, 4 years of SCA combat, 3 years Jiu Jitsu, and I gotta tell you in a melee scrum you really are going to get nailed without a more active style. But as the guy said, this was to improve technique. Maybe you should think before you comment.

oh yea the sparing is exactly what spear vs katana looks like i did spear alot :) zulu spear was used mainly for stabing as fasr as i know but cool anyway, gj man
-
Gotta disagree with you here :-)
It can be used very effectively one handed with a shield, but that does not mean that you can not use it without.
Any spear can be used 2 handed, without a shield.
-
okay but if it was a real zulu warrior against a real trained samurai the spear would be a fuckin joke
-
The bloke with the katana needs to learn the art of the sword is not just technique... (which could also use a lot of work...) it's about spirit! You're being timid... using the samurai style of combat is about having contempt for death! Don't fear the spear- dominate the spear!
-
the guy with the katana has very bad foot work...
-
I didn't know that. I thought they used it with a shield... :|

Why is it in all these videos, half the time the two combatants just stare at each other waiting for a move. Be more offensive? Back in the middle ages if you waited around you'd just be smacked down by somone else

Couple of reasons:
1. We have usually just completed at least an hour and a half of training outside, in around 30 degrees Celsius, 85% humidity, BEFORE starting to spar.
2. We're looking for openings in the opponent's guard, rather than just running in and hacking; the idea is to improve one's swordsmanship.
And we're not exactly trying to replicate the exact combat experience of the Middle Ages. If we were, we might be fighting in a melee, which would be a very different experience :-)

Let me give you some advise. :)
To use zulu spear well, you have to thrust fast and successively. In order to do so, you have to let your forehand loose when you push the spear out with your back hand. Loose, but not totally lost. Just make a socket for it to go through. Also, the forehand should grip it with the thumb and index forward instead of what's shown in the video right now.

Agreed :-)
But then I would be using it in an Asian fighting style - do you know that this is the way the Zulu's used it?
