First off just a quick pic showing the relative size of the Arms & Armor Hungarian Axe. I am 5′10″
Next, two pics showing the two of the most common stances in ourreconstructed style. On top, the Polomski and on the bottom, the Hungarian.
Much of what we show here of the reconstructed style works quite well with this nice axe from A&A. Given the high amount of thrusting attacks we do it makes one wonder if the original axes were not more like this version than just a hatchet on a stick.
