Historical chinese spears.


Recommended Posts

Most shaolin spears I have seen in vids and in online-shops are 7' long (6'staff with 1'head). I know for a fact that in sojutsu koryus (just think japanese spear arts) you have spears that can be 11 feet long and up.

 

Were historical warfare chinese spears really just 7'long or was this regulated later for wushu?

The shaolin ones? They can be up to around 9-10...The reason japanese are longer is because they were used in the frontlines...The more range the better. The monks never engaged in "wars" so to speak, so they really had no need for the length...I dunno, maybe ask your sifu, you will get alot of dif answers
