Spring War Spear Class

Postby Physic » Mon May 04, 2009 3:25 pm

I will be teaching a class on spear fighting Friday and Saturday of Spring War. This class will mostly consist of strategies and techniques of line fighting. Because line fighting effectively with a spear is reliant on teamwork, I highly encourage shield users to participate in this class to understand ways they can best assist their fellow spearman. I will also share some simple and effective drills that you can use at home that will help you become more effective on the battlefield. The class will last about an hour and I will be available for questions any time during the event. Peter has offered to be my lovely assistant for this class. Please be respectful during the class or you will feel the wrath of the mustache.

Now my questions for you. It looks like weapons check begins at 9 and pickup battles begin at 11. What time do think would work best for you? The best times will probably be at 10 or 11. My goal is to find a time that will work for as many people as possible.

If anyone would like to volunteer to record this and put it on the web I would really appreciate that.

Questions?

I've got a camcorder, so i can tape it if you want.

If Chadwick goes to springwar, see if he wants to help. he's got a lot of good ideas for lone spearmen

Cyric or anyone else - I'd be happy to put this up on the Belegarth site's videos section if you can get me the original videos.

I wanna take this class, I just got a spear not to long ago.

I look forward to spring wars and taking classes

I looked on the boards, but I couldn't find any other classes. Will there be more classes? For like single blue, or red? Like at other events? If anybody knows that would be great.

thanks

I'll be there, and (If applicable) will there be a short bit about lefty spearing? How to guard for/against one or different attacking approaches involving one

definitely coming, i'd say make sure its not during realm or unit battles, maybe during pickup battles. Please make sure this is advertised, don't want anyone to miss it because of misinformation.

I will be breaking the class into several sections where anyone can ask questions or add feedback about each section. Im sure there will be things that I miss and I encourage other veteran fighters to add there own input and style.

We will be going over right and left handed stances. A good spearman should be using both to be at maximum effectiveness.

Twenty minutes prior to the class I will send out people to announce the class.

I will have extra spears and sheilds available if anyone would like to show up and does not have the equipment.

Class will run from 10:30-11:30. Please bring a spear and shield to the class. If you do not have one, one will be provided. I will have handouts for those of you that want one.

Remember, this class is for spearman and shield users that wish to protect their fellow spearman better.
