About Dussack Fencing
Fang fencing (Dussack / Dusack) was widespread in Central Europe and the Czech lands in the 16th century. Dussack was a leather or wooden training device imitating a single-edged fang. The training was an intermediate stage between fighting with a dagger and a two-handed long sword.
