Spear

The spear is one of the oldest weapons of mankind, and has played a central role in the evolution of combat techniques throughout the ages. Its peak in the Middle Ages, as the emblematic weapon of chivalry, testifies to its strategic and symbolic importance. Composed of a long wooden shaft of about three meters, topped with a sharp metallic point, the spear combined reach, penetration power and maneuverability.

Beyond its famous use in cavalry charges, the spear was a key element of infantry formations, as evidenced by the French ordnance companies. Its versatility allowed its use both on foot and on horseback, giving fighters a considerable advantage in maintaining distance and piercing enemy defenses, including the most robust armors.

In the context of HEMA, the study of the spear opens a fascinating window onto medieval combat techniques. Practitioners explore a range of movements from powerful thrusts to precise strikes, through sophisticated blocking techniques. The emphasis is on mastering distance, coordination and precision, essential for fully exploiting the potential of this imposing weapon.
