Doesn't even need to be light. I believe both of the gentlemen in the linked videos have videos specifically on the use of spears two-handed and they really only focus on Western styles, I think. Whole lot also going on in Eastern martial pursuits wrt spears.

Spears were the most ubiquitous weapon for centuries for many reasons. They just aren't as 'sexy' as sword play to the modern person who has never had to fight with either, in no small part thanks to Hollywood portrayals of medieval warfare.

Now, can we get slings in too, while we're at it? wink
