Getting my new spears.

[JowGaWolf]

I'm getting 2 new spears hopefully this week. Wife may not be happy with it, so I bought another one lol. I'm going for the .. OH I thought you may wanted to train with me when I train excuse. lol.

But I'm looking forward to get some training with it. It's supposed to be a "Combat" function spear so I'm hoping it's going to have that nice heavy feel to it.

I've finally at a point where I can start "Shadow Boxing" with my spear and like always. Fighting with a staff requires a lot more effort and endurance than just doing the form, but I'm working it out. I start with the basic stuff and take time to chain different techniques.

So far my staff training is a really great shoulder, arms and back workout.

I bought a spear head in a Renaissance Festival for $45. I always carry it with me in my daypack when I hike in the woods. When I need, I can always attach it on my hiking stick and turn my hiking stick into a spear. I can also use it as a dagger if needed.

I like to arm to the teeth when I hike in the woods.

Do you get to spar with these weapons in your dojo? Of course not like literally stabbing each other. lol. I mean like light versions of the weapons in some kind of point-contact fighting.

If I'm ever gonna get a combat weapon, I wanna get a sabre. I'm a huge Napoleonic warfare fan.

I've only trained staff to this point. If I were to spar with a spear it would still be just a staff. I've sparred with rubber knives and got stabbed and sliced a lot. The knives still hurt, they just don't cut. But that's the extent of sparring.

I spar to learn, so I don't use a point system. My method of sparring means that I'll get hit a lot so keeping points will not provide any benefit. I would lose all the time. I would lose in a point sparring competition as well, because I'm willing to absorb a weaker strike if it means I can deliver a more powerful one.

Definitely, What good is spear without a pointy end.. lol. But in all seriousness. I was looking more for the weight of the weapon and a good spearhead. I've seen some spears that look like a staff with a guitar pick on the end, they are also lighter,

My interest in combat weapons is mainly from the point of view of the skill and strength needed to use them. It takes more skill and strength to use a combat weapon than the light weapons that we often see. The picture below is the spear that I ordered.

Point taken.

Spears came in today. Gotta big grin from ear to ear, but the rain has started so it looks like, I won't be doing any outside training for the next 3 days. So far they look really nice and were packed really good, like someone cared about what they were doing.

Stuff like this gets me excited about training and working out.

lol. I envy you. I'm an unemployed little overgrown boy living with my mom, and I can't have a weapon in me. If I order it online and she catches it, it's in the garbage moments later.

I don't know how to describe it but there's a certain feeling of confidence that comes from having a lethal weapon in you when going out in public places, so long as you can trust yourself that you won't be an idiot about it.

Lots of people unemployed these days.

Not sure what to say about this one. What happens to your confidence when you don't have a lethal weapon?

That's not the point. My point is you get a confidence boost with a weapon in you. I very primal confidence, but confidence nonetheless.

but his actual importance was his three devorces, which meant he was excommunicated from the catholic church making england an independent state and gave rise to a few hundred years of wars and execution , leading to gb becomming a global super power, and a remarkable number of dead people

I'm built a little difference, My confidence comes from 6 years of verbal abuse and dealing with bullies as teen. I find comfort in deciding how I want to be as a person and never letting anyone take that away from me. No matter what happens, or what I'll face, I know I'll always try to hold true to that image of how I want to be as a person.

When life throws punches and kicks. I counter.

I got bullied as well. It's just that I dealt with things in a different way.

Lifted weights and learned how to be street smarts. Martial Arts were never in my radar, mainly because that as I grew up, I started encountering less and less violence because the people around me started becoming more and more mature. And I didn't end up in a tough neighborhood. When I was young, I was in a hostile environment. But I got into a better environment as I grew up.

Now is different though. I wanna redeem myself by becoming a good boxer.

I'm glad it things got better for you as time went by. That's always a good thing.
