I was wondering much the same. That bit in the video where the buckler snagged the spear? What went through my mind was that it wouldn't take much for the spearman to have ripped the buckler right out of the fencer's hand ... or if the fencer was so stupid as to try to hang on, would yank the fencer badly off balance at the least.
