Dead End
So conclusion, weapons are dangerous.
**Cuts through a few bags**
Yeah this guy is good
Yeah but sand was coming out!1111!11!!!1!
Spears are not very flashy or theatrical weapons when used. There’s not much to their deployment - just thrusting straight forward with occasional oblique cuts. But rest assured, these things were MUCH more dangerous to fight against than swords or axes, even maces. They were simply constructed and simply used, which is why they were so deadly. They were cheap and easy to make compared to swords, too. So you could arm and train MANY soldiers with these weapons - and training wouldn’t take very long either, since the spear is so easy to use at its baseline. Couple the deadliness in simplicity of spears with their typically MUCH superior reach and speed of recovery in striking over the sword, the axe, the hammer, or the mace, and you’ve got the weapon platform that both outdated AND outlived the sword in use on ANY battlefield, including MODERN ones (we still use bayonets in actual combat; whereas swords are never used except purely as ceremonial uniform decorations.)
So don’t let that unimpressive display of Sōjutsu make you think that’s all there is to the Yari. You’re not gonna watch any Sōjutsu demonstration and think, “Oh, that LOOKS SO COOL AND FLASHY AND STYLISH!” It’s NEVER gonna be any of those things. But a trained Samurai with a Yari is still gonna be able to skewer your entire body until its no longer recognizable; and watching his performance as he does so will probably make people yawn. Cause there’s nothing to killing the absolute FUCK out of a man with a spear in the realm of flashy showmanship... just the rapid and insanely-hard-to-counter delivery of deep mortal wounds that CAN’T be stitched closed and will guarantee you a slow and agonizing death (as more of your fellow warriors fall on top of you and start slowly dying on you too.)
Pop culture doesn’t show enough love to the spear; which has been the MAIN-main weapon of the human race for at LEAST hundreds of thousands of years, and it’s been so for a time-honored and time-tested reason. Because it just WORKS so damn well. It’s just not as pretty and awe inspiring to watch in action as the sword, mace, axe, etc.
Fun Fact: chimpanzees (our closest genetic relative, and model for physical anthropological study) ALSO fashion and hunt with spears. They take sticks, then use their teeth to grind a point into the stick, then spear fish into old withered out tree trunks to get at the bush babies sleeping in there. So it’s pretty insanely cool to know that it’s HIGHLY possible our pre-human ancestor species were also using these insanely simple yet insanely EFFECTIVE tools that we now call the Spear.
interesting how the "expert with the yari" isn't the one striking the armored dummy
i know right? he also seems somewhat young to be a 'master'.
not to say that he is not skilled, he is probably a lot better than me, but to become a actual master you need quite a few years of training.
He was probably the cheapest guy they could hire for the show
That guy is Marko Zarror... check him out.
we know, it says so in the video. but we were not talking about him.
the "expert" we were talking about was rodriguez.
@@nickv8334
I think he is more like a Japan war historian, or some kind of Japanese feudal armory expert. He's more about theory so to say. By the looks of him, he's definitely not a martial arts master xD
These vids are awesome, my only critique would be: you guys should use ballistic gel anatomically correct targets with historically correct armour on(preferably the armour of common enemies the weapon would have faced). That way we could see realistic damage of the weapons. Hollow, soft foam targets with plastic bags full of fake blood aren't good representations.
I am interested in medieval weapons. I'm not interested in a movie fanatic got over exited over a medieval weapon.
U just don't like wepons
It's pretty fucking cool though, most people don't know this was the samurai's primary weapon of war. Katanas and Wakazashis were for certain duels, for regular carrying, and on the battlefield a back up to the Yari.
the second i saw that this was a Japanese weapon i knew Ilya was going to be there, and i also noticed his hammer, but i don't remember a MAA:Reforged episode for this weapon, so Ilya, if you're making stuff without us, you need to fill us in man, we need to see these things! Haha. thoroughly enjoying this mini series, keep uploading em, can't wait to see more.
He works as a Smith for the Baltimore knight and sword, I think you can see more of his work of you follow their Facebook page
actual martial arts expert using and explaining the weapon would make a nice video, not some movie fanatics with BING researched homework essays
You hurt Bill Gate's feelings. You are now on his depopulation to do list.
The shelf filler is Chuey Martinez.
thank you! :)
Bruh, the samurai's favourite weapon was the yumi ( a bow).
that depends on the era. Earlier samurai liked using the bow but by the 16th and 17th century it was the yari
Arquebus came in later half the Sengoku period and even then was mainly used by Ashigaru infantry which are conscripts and not the Samurai.
yari is often use by footsoldiers to bring down cavalry due to the long handle blade
@@Necrodermis yeah not many people realise that.
People like Metatron kind of go overboard and say "contrary to popular belief samurai loves guns"
Which yeah they did and they wouldn't have an issue using them but they mostly preferred spears even when guns became common place.
He even goes on to say that the Oda destroyed the Takeda at Nagashino with guns.
The guns did do a lot of damage and many high ranking generals were shot dead in the initial charge.
But that battle lasted 8 hours and was mostly won with steel and numbers of more than double of that of the Takeda
@Marcus Mallari yeah they did. One even shot Nobunaga twice, both shots failed to pierce his armour though
I'm more interested in the experts' conversation than I am with the host.
Can't get enough of this show love the weapons and info
I love when Ilya lets his hair down.
The one thing I don't get about Japanese polearms is the lack of blunt striking surfaces. It doesn't need to be a fully developped axe or hammer, but any tough protrusion that doesn't penetrate too deep.
There are Yaris with side blades, that would do a great job for hooking or attacking enemies behind shields.
That guy's an expert ! * Jumps to strike *
Both the Japanese Yari and Chinese Qiang were lethal and popular.
honestly, pokey sticks have always been popular around the world
@@khoatran-pc6tbeven Poland polearms
It made me sad watching that beautiful armor get stabbed
Ooooo please make Keris and Karambit.
danny, rebel, and robert. legendary
3:45 not back in 14th century lol
*The bow was the samurai's primary weapon*
Makes sense. Make some pot shots, until it's too long to draw at close range. In fact, I'll probably retreat and keep firing.
I mean, it depends on the time period, class etc. but you are mostly correct, in the sengoku period, archery with the yumi longbow and horseback archery was prominent. But Yaris were probably similar to the amount of bows used. I would say it’s 35% yari 30% yumi longbow, 15% tanegashima
It was his money, a broke ass samurai wandering around with a bow ain't much of a threat
I wish I had found this series earlier
Nice. What is the next weapon? Falcata?
live after getting a belly wound in that era? I dont think so...
People died from less, but some survived crazy injuries. If the victim doesn't die of (internal) bloodloss, then the only big killer is inflammation. Inflammation can come from outside dirt, bone fragments or feces from punctured intestines. So, it really depends where it hits and how clean the wound remains.
The wound gets septic and you catch diseases and stuff
Where can I get a yari and training for the yari
Sojutsu. But there Probably isn’t sojutsu near you. Try iaido
FINALLY!!!
It's YARIMAZING!!!
HOLY CRAP! Ilya from Man at Arms is in this video!
Matt too :)
Stumbled across this show from Man at Arms and been a huge fan since. I really liked all the weapons so far, especially the bow. I was wondering if you would do the katana next (if it's possible) please. thank you so much and I apologize if it's too much trouble
There's a way to pierce the armour by using a staccato rapid back and forth movement.
I love Ilya!
Danny! Danny! Danny! Danny Trejo!
Yari! yari! I had to i'm sorry....
duwang gang represent
Does the yari predate the naginata or did it fall out of use to common footsoldier
I think technically , " Yari," just means spear in Japanese, and is not the actual proper name of the weapon. I think they just call it a yari to make it easier for them to pronounce and the audience to understand.
It's called kudayari there
@@mithubose700 Nah, it's a sankaku yari, "triangle spear", because of the triangular cross-section.
My god i love this show!!! 😍🤘
Hey agb sup I love you're channel
Does your hand have arthritis? "🤘"
Ilia, no so the samurai’s main weapons were bows. They were horse mounted archers, the infantries main weapons were polearms and spears
Do the Zulu spear
I thought they stopped using bayonets because of automatic rifles and snipers
You want really deadly go Naginata
Hitsugaiafan10 Yup, it's like if a sword and a spear had a baby.
That wouldn't work as well on the armour, but on gambesson or no armour that thing would split people...
It was actually made for cutting horse legs
dam I'm the first one here 😑 love this type of videos
So does shelf filler mean a weapon for decoration
Next guan yu 's green dragon crescent
Please review Guan Yu weapon Next..
I wanna see this weapon used by Master use vs zombies.
I saved this 9 years ago
DO A ONE ON GUAN DAO
It's a spear
Just seeing all of the weapons and the weapons specialist/ martial artists makes my blood boil and exciting
They aren't specialists and they don't know shit
I watched 2:55 to 3:10 like twenty times. Those are some sexy arms!
Dolor...Dolor...
...I think I have a younger twin. It's the hair mainly.
Not any mail under the armor
That is not the reason bayonets fell out of use
lol they cutin up basmati rice
What happened to this series? Is it dead? Also, WHY IS THERE NO HUNGA MUNGA EPISODE!?
Me who plays shadow fight 2:
The expert
I don't understand the difference between this spear and say a European longspear, or a viking spear? I see he tried to slash with it on the bottom right sandbag and did pretty much nothing, but I mean it's a spear. You poke people with the pointy end?
Well, in my point of view. Yes. It is difference. But they are have same thing is all spear mean use to poke with the end of the point.
The way they stab the target is depend on what type martial art or tech of user.
The person you said "he tried slash in the bottom right sandbag and did nothing" well because not all spear design to cut like sword. It mainly to stab and pierce thought to armor and to flesh.
Vi Sam I understand that, and spears -are- good weapons. But I don't see what makes this spear different. What sets it apart from any other spear?
Matthew Sullivan what makes it different is the shape of the head , the material used and the way the yari is utilised.
It really depends on the yari. Some are 3 times a normal human's height and do more damage with swinging than stabbing.
Mainly for stabbing but the straight blade profile allows for some limited slashing. And some slicing technique to the throat and unprotected tendons as you drag the spearhead back from glancing or missed strikes. The diamond or leaf shaped blades are less effective for the kind of cutting
That was so cringe when he stabbed them lmao.
Yari ashigaru
Make more
indian Bhala or jamblin r are more Dangerous and long weapon. watch in Baahubali movie
lol that silly little jump he did, the guy has been watching too much Brad Pitt...
He was hopping over the imaginary corpse in the way.
But....there are a katana that was made in 10th century and 9 century....
Also naginata is more deadlier
Daffa Alfayedh no the naginata isn't. If it were, it would be the most common weapon on the battlefield.
@@Rikushio17 it really depends, it was a good weapon on its own but stopped being used because it didn’t work well in groups and armies.
The handle is too long to be used by people who didn't have extensive training in my opinion.
In our lndia sickh warriors wsed snake shape spear with pathon teeth shape edges
Robert Rodriguez?????
Horrible. Little boys are playing. The is no testing. Just destroing stuff.
this is the deadliest warrior formula but for weapons, not a big surprise it's rather meaningless.
Any real testing would be welcomed actually
medical science at its best
Let's be honest here. This isn't the coolest and most intriguing spear Japan has over there. Anyone that ever looks up Japanese ancient weapons online and exposed to the international cultural exchange of others entertainment media from map will tell you there are more fascinating ones there. There jimonji spear was literally something that resembled a trident, except the side points were perpendicular. Then there is the spear/saber hybrids. The naginata is a pole arm with a curved single saber like blade.
My favorite Yari spear is the Omi Yari.
Hi Indian sword two handed
They should give more time to the weapon experts and less to Chuey
What a waste. This show is so gimmicky and dumb. "Stealth killer or shelf filler." Talk about cringe.
Whose here from dr stone?
Yessir
Why are this guys using yari like some chinese guys from some chinese movie? Yari is Japanese weapon... 😂😂
This is the most racist comment I have ever seen on youtube.
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 Im sure you will see worse in the years to come
so cringe
