Long Spear vs. Short Spear

Many people overlook the distinction between a long spear and a short spear. Let's first examine the length difference. The short spear on the left measures 210cm, while the long spear on the right (without the spear head) is 320cm. Although there may be variations in lengths for both, the contrast is evident.

Now, what are the real differences? In summary:

- The long spear is favored in military contexts for long-range attacks, often in combination with other weapons. Conversely, the short spear is prized in civilian settings for its ease of carry. Consequently, it involves more intricate techniques to demonstrate technical skill.

In today's era, short spears are understandably more popular. Just imagine lugging around a 3-4m long spear!
