Attacks and Defenses with Poleaxe

The poleaxe is an incredible fighting tool capable of both great power and subtle deception. This course is an introduction to the basic attacks, defenses and counter attacks of this awesome weapon.

Attacks & Defenses: We study the eight attacks of the poleaxe and put them together in a solo practice sequence. Then we match an effective parry to each attack.

Counter Attacks: After having made an effective defense, many counter attacking options come into play, and we explore many of them from each part of the sequence. Finally we explore making defenses against every attack from a core posture of the poleaxe, porta di ferro.
