Any spear fighters in that group? I have a soft spot for the better range of the pointy stick
We don't train spears explicitly in my club beyond the 20 minutes it takes to make someone competent to hit them with the pointy end.
The great thing about spears is they're not technical and in the hands of an absolute beginner they're absolutely lethal against almost any other weapon one on one.
The real challenge to training with a spears is teaching someone to stand their ground, advance on an opponent and hold the initiative.
The downfall of a spears is the moment an opponent is passed the pointy end it becomes near useless.
We use spears as an aid to train aggressiveness and the ability to seize the initiative off of an opponent with greater reach or ability.
