Question about reenactors

[hoplite14gr]

This is also a nice impression of Hoplomachia, yet I don't know how accurate it is:

This video covers the impressive style of fighting from Geometric Era (900 B.C.) to Early Archaic Era (670 B.C).
Some action do credit to Homeric descritpitons but most of them could not be effective against a solid wall of spearmen.

@ Polinik.
I do not know what other hoplite renactors do. In our group we strive for historical accuracy.
The parading is based on the Vix crater and the music on a fragment from Pyramos in Asia Minor.
The phalanx movent is based on Ancient literature and images. Yet it is constantly researched because the writers
left very few details. Even the Onesanders Stratgikon is lacking. It gives many commands but it does not explain how they were executed.
Only trial and error teach us things.

We still have NOT found a safe way to reanct true othismos. A computer model we used predicted lots of injuries if we seriously tried.
Any professional stundman's opinion would be apreciated.

Kind regards
