Descendant Armory’s Weapon Trainers are made to be used in full contact Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). The material used for the heads (striking surface) is flexible but has enough structure for manipulation techniques. The handles are cut from raw hardwood from a local lumber mill, generally, oak but rare woods can be available for custom orders.
Not only can they be used with our other polearms, but last just as long against blunted steel swords and even shields. Though most of our trainers are made for “unarmored” sparring, we can make the same trainers specifically for harnessfechten.
Jordan McNew –
Friend of mine owns this beast of a weapon. Very powerful and capable of landing very heavy strikes without causing any real damage to the weapon or your training partner. The gap in the blade is just as large as advertised and makes switching grips mid-fight fairly easy.
