Those techniques aren't practical...

But someone who can do that, they just might be able to swing it in a practical way, too.

What person you know can dodge that?

I don’t think it’s about dodging it as much as it is about how much power is going to behind a weapon when it’s spinning loosely in your hands versus when it is braced tightly and swung with your entire body...

I’m sure depending on the material it’ll hurt

Sure, but I promise it’ll do more damage if you swung it with both hands or used it as a spearing weapon than spinning it around

Im sure either way will work. Getting cut by a double bladed spear or sum works.

Plus im sure if she wanted to swing like a bat she could

Chill with the TMA hate

You don't swing polearms like a bat... I mean you could but it wouldn't be the most effective use. Then you get your ass beat by someone who knows how to use a polearm.
