Descendant Leather’s Weapon Trainers are made to be used in full contact Historical European Martial Arts. 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.

It’s so hard to find safe polearms that feel like the real thing. This is as close as you’ll get without using an actual murderstick. Durable, responsive, and the customization options are a real plus. These are great trainers for instruction in polearms.
