“With both ends and also what’s in between – la doctrine et l’industrie du Le Jeu de la Hache”
A basic approach of the teachings of this anonymous, unfinished manuscript, in which we’ll deal with fighting with the pollaxe in armour and see how the anonymous author thoroughly covers every situation.
People are welcome to train in armour ! ;)
Failing that, good gloves and a mask will do the thing. And a cup. Don’t forget te cup, fellas.
Mandatory equipment: mask, gloves, groin cup. (People are welcome to train in armour )
