Spoiler: The Russian Scaevola

A myth purported that a Russian peasant (of unknown name or origin) in 1812 supposedly tried to cut off his own hand rather than be pressed into service by the French. "Scaevola" means "left-handed" owing to Gaius Macius thrusting his right hand into a fire to prove his fearlessness, which the artist ought to know for making the reference in the first place, yet he depicts the peasant cutting off the wrong hand. His guards aren't too pleased about it, either way.

Those damn poses. Looks like something straight off the pages of jojo's bizzare adventure.

Guy on the bottom doesn't want to see his enemy's junk, guy to the right went to drama class.

The red guy has definitely come up with a very creative way of thrusting with a spear.

His/her arm looks very weird indeed, kinda looks twisted, but it's not.

Ice-pick grip with a spear is an often overlooked technique that is sure to catch your opponent off-guard.

 

[Mamlaz]

Most of all spear fighting in antiquity was overhead like he is doing, however, not over the back, that is just showing off.

 

[Vraelomon]

It seems like it would be a difficult thing to do when your wrist is broken.

 

[Anarion]

His technique is clearly heavily reliant on the enemy's cooperation. People were gentlemen back then.

Not broken, more like he was born with two left hands.

The thumb location is reversed.

 

[Soldier Of Thebes]

I don't think the body moves like that.
