"Howling" Sparring Spear

An innovative spearhead designed specifically for HEMA training and sparring.

This spearhead combines safety and performance with an integrated loud whistle that activates on a solid hit, providing instant and precise feedback during bouts.

It features a HEMA-safe cushion mounted on a durable synthetic base, ensuring optimal protection for sparring partners.

At about 200 grams it is close to steel spearhead weight, maintenance-free, and robust, this spearhead is perfect for practitioners looking to enhance their skills while minimising risks.

Features:

• Standard spearhead weight
• Good impact reduction
• Whistle for hit indication
• Maintenance-free
• Detachable and replaceable air cushion

Basic Parameters:

• Total Length: 286mm
• Total Weight: ≈ 200g
• Socket Depth: 100mm
• Socket Inner Diameter: 22-28mm
• Material: TPU rubber
• Peak Whistle Volume: ≈ 120dB

Safety Tips:

• The spearhead is designed for sparring with full protective gear. Do not engage in sparring without wearing proper protective equipment.
• The air cushion is a consumable item. Discontinue use immediately and replace it if it becomes structurally damaged to prevent potential injury.
• The TPU soft rubber material of the spearhead will wear off quickly if dragged on concrete or rough surfaces. Avoid such surfaces and use it on non-rough surfaces.
• The spearhead’s structural strength is designed for normal sparring scenarios. Avoid forceful thrusts into walls, slashing, or striking sharp objects to prevent unnecessary damage.
• The whistle’s volume is designed to remain clearly audible even when wearing a helmet. Avoid triggering the whistle near your ear without protective gear, as it may cause hearing damage.

Accessory Recommendations:

• Staff: Recommended to pair with a white ash wood staff with bark or not (fits even if the tip isn’t in a perfect round shape since the socket is flexible). Length: 2-2.4m, tip diameter: 24-26mm, with chamfered ends.
