Fighting with Landsknecht Pikes

Pikes are potentially the coolest polearm in existence, but for obvious reasons very few people train with them. In order to help us understand Landsknecht pike combat, me and a few clubmates started a project to first learn about 1v1 pike techniques and then to later try and integrate those techniques into formation fighting. For now, we’re really having a blast with 1v1 pike sparring, so here’s a couple of bouts and some added context. Enjoy!
