Nice find C! They do very much seem to know what they are doing.
Also, I have been taking a closer look at the wushu spear styles. When demonstrated it just seems more like a staff style than a spear or pole-arm style. However, I watched this video that has me thinking.
This is choreographed fighting, but I see elements of practicality in there. I am also keen on the fact that the performers are seemingly smallish women. My character is small, so this fast and agile type of style might be a great fit for her.
After all, no reason I can't have her use elements of both HEMA fencing and wushu in her style. The game actually has many weapons inspired from many IRL cultures. Many of the pole-arms are European in style while many of the Lancer/Dragoon abilities are wushu-like. I think this thread has helped me a lot!
