Moro - Pira - fighting ??
Since I have my own pira I wonder how they where able to fight with this weapon.
It is a very well ballanced and mighty weapon though, but how I turn the blade with rotation movements and how I slash, the plume always is in the way and stick my arm. I assume the plume should be a protection of the wrist area. But I think it is in the way. Maybe therefore the plume is sometimes disposed (broken off)??? I thought this was discussed before in a thread, but I couldn't find it so quickly. I am not a very talented, experienced martial artist though, but I have had enough trainingsessions (for years and years, day in and day out) also weapontrainingssessions. But I can't figure out to use it properly. By the way, I don't train with these antique weapons (they are just hanging on my wall ), but I want to find out how they were used.
