Weapons - Spear  (continued)

Besides which point and how many points spears can be characterized by how flexible the shaft is: you can tie a 25 pound weight to the midpoint of the shaft and place the spear horizontally across two chairs or equivalent. The simpler Grandmaster Wing Lam method is to ground one end of the spear, hold the other end in one hand at waist level and press the midpoint with your other hand and your weight. Scores: flexes less than 1/2" = 0; flexes an inch = 1; flexes 2 inches = 2; 3 inches = 3 and 4 inches = 4
