hey i was wonder if u could share how to counter spears and what weapons are best for doing so.

also i love your spear head it reminds me of Dynasty warriors a great asian sword fighting game

[WillGray42]

I know that game well my friend.

 I will do what I can to add that into my next spear lesson.

[TheBofferNinja]

Hey Will, I have been making boffers for quite awhile now but I've never seen a spear head quite like that one. I was wondering if you could share your expertise with me. And thank you for the tips. Keep up the good work, -BofferNinja

[WillGray42]

right now I am a state away from my stuff, but when I get back I will be makeing a video on how to make more complay boffers, includinghow to make the edge.

I LOVE THAT WEAPON!!! Thank you for providing me with nearly 10 minutes of truly awesome entertainmentacation.

[WillGray42]

Thanks..It's still my favorite weapon. This has always been one of my favorite videos aswell. It's th only lesson with a dance break.

This is really great technical stuff (and amusing) How did you learn all this??? Just from playing around?

[poopwadmcgee]

i could tell it was your favorite weapon.

great vid man. i will take that to heart in my spear fights. :)

[Ethertrogg]

I couldn't tell from this video, but in my community, spear is thrust only and it is throwable. Is it the same for you? I recently fell in love with it.

[w0lfxer0]

I find myself watching your partner make the same face and movements over and over.

Great video, I just made a short spear. :D

[Goldmax77]

Just a question, though you might have already answered it.. How long exactly was that spear?

And compliments for the video and the tactics :D

Love Spears. I was thinking about doing sort of a combo boffer weapon set based off a character from Sengoku basara. I was going to go for two spears. But then I figured what if I make the spear tip more of a trident for countering and catching blades. What do you think?

[Premier112]

Informal as this is set up, I got a lot more out of this, than other more "martial art" videos of spears vs. swords.

There wasn't as much 100% silly spin-around-do-cartwheels, coreography "flash", where spearmen are explicitly afraid of actual weapon contact with the sword user.

There weren't 50 wideoff fake parried strikes, while a swordman is free to trying "killing" you.

Video actually tries addressing advantages spears have to an extent. I take what's useful I can from it, ty.

@lordroeasoe Yeah! this guys got the right idea. its not really a spear, more of a naginata or a guan do

[TGBReviews]

hey, this isnt a spear. It's more of a guan do, a spear is a stabbing weapon, this is a slashing weapon with stabbing capabilities

[xaiomanga]

7:20 the shine from his watch made the movements look epic

[123qwe910]

id say its not so much a short spear, but more of a glaive

[johnatahn1990]

i love the spear and this vid has helped me out a lot
