[split] Phalanx warfare: use of the spear

Yes, Yes......the thread has already established, and had accepted, that 'spear fencing' can involve many techniques in different situations.....yada,yada.... but the overarm technique delivers the most powerful blows and is the one predominant in all cultures.......for the reasons put forward in the YouTube clips I posted, and many others besides.

My apologies, I have just realised that some of the videos I referred to have been posted before, on page 7  for example.....
