|

I will be making a purchase of a Pole Axe very soon. Since the book store on the site is down, I searched amazon, though I do not even know the right words to type in, to make a proper seach. My main desire of the book is to learn about stance, any possible footwork, and of course; How should I hold the thing so as to look historically accurate. Any book suggestions would be appreciated.
Mid to late 15th century is my time period.
Experience and learning from such defines maturity, not a number of age

I've heard of this one:
Polearms of Paulus Hector Mair
I haven't read it but I'm sure other members here can offer you a more complete review...

Fellow myArmoury member Hugh Knight has written a book on the subject http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...highlight=
I've ordered a copy for use with my own pollaxe but as the order is recent and it's Christmas time the mail is slow to deliver it.

Hello,
For a beginner Hugh Knight's book is probably better.
The Paulus Hector Mair book is just a translation and so it requires more interpretation to use.
Cheers,
