Would Scutum and gladius be better? Then you don't knock your plant pots over or damage your wallpaper with the spear.I live in a quiet suburb and not involved in any activity that would cause someone to violently come through the door to collect money. So no need for any spear wielding medieval melee in my apartment.
You can always practice throwing it in the garden for sport.
Scholargladiatoria and Tod stuff videos.
Also The Medieval Hunt have an article on spear training.
It didn’t take that much practice for a ten year to do this from a dozen paces. Admittedly not the best shield construction (I had no linden wood or rawhide to edge it) but the spear head is a cheap one from Wolflund.
I may have gone over board for the year 4 class project.

Many hunting spears have a cross bar of some kind, often it is made together with the head but sometimes as a separate piece on the shaft. It apparently tends to slightly interfere with throwing so these spears are only thrown at very close if even then.
So there is nothing that prevents you from throwing it.
Or you might practice in a Kalevalan way of thrusting it into boggy ground.
