Frequently asked questions:
What kind of pike is that?
The Pike is a three-part simulator from jesterofblades.de/
The prototype of this pike has become a bit too wobbly. However, a certain degree of flexibility is important for safe sparring. We'll see how the final product will be. But it can be a little stiffer.
Is a pike so wobbly?
The pike is a little more wobbly than usual with the original. It is a sparring version for safe practice. The material is ash.
Why are you thrusting way too high? Are the thrusts against horsemen?
The thrusts could go against horsemen but are usually against enemy pikemen. The reason why I thrust so high is because I don't have a target in the solo performance and it doesn't play a role in the presentation. Setting the thrust a little lower or higher is no problem.
Where do you get your pants from?

Are your one-hand thrusts suitable for a formation?
Usually not. However, a martial art covers a lot of possibilities. I have also found the one-handed parades to be very useful. Even in dense environment. A weapon-art should always be learned completely, even if rather simple techniques are used in a formation.
Are these techniques you invented?
No. You can find all the techniques in a fencing book from 1570.
