SPEAR TRAINING
While there are numerous types of Spears trained at Imperial Combat Arts, it is still essentially one weapon study. All Spears share the same basic characteristics, and skills developed with each unique Spear transfer directly to the next. All students start with the Wooden Staff to first learn how to use the shaft of a pole-arm as a weapon. Second students train to master the Willow Leaf Spear, measured with a shaft their same height, plus the 15 inch blade. From there members move into whatever spear is paired with their empty hand fighting style. The Spear associated with each style makes use of the unique body mechanics of that style. For example; Snake Kung Fu trains with the Snake style Spears, Leopard with the Short Spears, Tiger with the Heavy Spears and Tiger Fang Spear, Mantis with the Hook Spears, Panther the Hammer Spear, Eagle with the Raven Spear and so on. This is one of the primary reasons why Imperial Combat Arts teaches such a vast array of weapons.
