You need immense strength to force it to change directions so hammers tend to be used in a flowing manner. There are many considerations from a martial point of view. First: Hammer users often have retractable blades in the handle. Second: The head should be lightened without taking away it's strength. Third: A counter Balance on the other end of the shaft is useful. Fourth: The hammer should also have a jabbing spike as well as a poleaxe. Finally: In fighting moves the hammer is used as a counterweight for the fighter's body and can produce extremely rapid spins and somersaults when used well. | |
