Here is part 2 of the armored HEMA sparring at Academie Duello, now with spears and pollaxes! If you haven't seen the previous video (armored fighting with longswords):

Very cool to see the different dynamics of working in full plate with historical techniques. Limiting valid hits to thrusts into the gaps of the armor or strikes with the axe, beak, or hammer poll makes it all more challenging. Plus of course the strain of moving while covered in several layers of fabric and metal.
