SPEAR TRAINING
While there are numerous types of Spears trained at Imperial Combat Arts, it is still essentially one weapon study. All Spears share the same basic characteristics, and skills developed with each unique Spear transfer directly to the next. All students start with the Wooden Staff to first learn how to use the shaft of a pole-arm as a weapon. Second students train to master the Willow Leaf Spear, measured with a shaft their same height, plus the 15 inch blade. From there members move into whatever spear is paired with their empty hand fighting style. The Spear associated with each style makes use of the unique body mechanics of that style. For example; Snake Kung Fu trains with the Snake style Spears, Leopard with the Short Spears, Tiger with the Heavy Spears and Tiger Fang Spear, Mantis with the Hook Spears, Panther the Hammer Spear, Eagle with the Raven Spear and so on. This is one of the primary reasons why Imperial Combat Arts teaches such a vast array of weapons.
- The japanese yari sword is made of high manganese steel, it features a leather scabbard and stainless steel rod.
- The yari was an essential battlefield weapon of the samurai and took great skill to use and maneuver due to its length and size. the japanese yari is based on the original dating to feudal japan. the blade is forged in high manganese steel and is triangulated and double-edged with a deep fuller on the flat side of the blade. the tang is long to absorb the shock of a blow and the one-piece staff construction reinforces the durability of the spear.
- The yari blade is carefully protected by a sheath (saya). the yari is a fully functionl weapon and can be taken apart (similar to a katana) for cleaning.
- Great addition for those who train in sojutsu.
- Please note: the yari stand or holder is not included.
