A fearsome weapon for sure. It makes me shudder to think what it can actually do. I love thinking about and practicing with these weapons, but I always try to remember what a nasty business they are designed for.
-
It wasn’t mentioned yet, but the queue end of pollaxes normally had a spike pr other offensive butt cap as well, as the queue end was used extensively.

just wanted to say thanks for all your videos! I'm making animations for Skyrim with different weapons and your videos show me a more practical way to handle medieval weapons. Your videos have a lot of variety and a lot of detail which helps me make each weapon have unique animations.
-
With such a demand for originality in movies, that even drive directors to throw history out of the window, it's a disgrace that such different awesome looking weapons haven't had nearly any proper screen time.

Danke, dass du direkt nach meinem Video, dass unter anderem die Mordaxt vorstellt so ein großartiges Video bringst das die Verwendung erklärt. Wird gleich verteilt!

Incredible as always. And on one of my favorite weapon types no less.

mordhau introduced and enlightened me to this wonderful weapon and now youtube is giving me plenty of poleaxe videos haha. amazing weapon with some examples offering the best of all worlds, slashing, blunt, and stabbing all in one. and its quite beautiful to see some of the historical combat forms that are possible with this weapon. i can only imagine what knight duels with these weapons looked like 600 years ago.

Great video! I love to see the weapons and skills of our history! I must admit that I would rather die in an actual war with modern weapons! These guys must have been so strong both physically and mentional…🙏
-
Very cool...I wouldn't mind seeing some unarmed combat (Ringen, Abrazare) up next!
-
This is a really good detailed explanation, on how to fight with the pole axe.That weapon is really scary. Imagine getting hit by it. x_X 9:08 Lol!😂 Great work!
-
Awesome, this channel has become so diverse in weapons already!
-
Nice, I really enjoy your videos and always think 2 things. 1. That was an enjoyable video in which I probably learned something. 2. Why isn’t this guy in movies wearing armor and swinging weapons?!! I mean seriously, you have the look, a commanding voice and presence and actually know how to use these historical battlefield weapons.
