Flyssa family

It's the balance that I find problematic, not the weight. Very slow recovery from traditional fencing techniques. In estoc the balance is problematic again, you need strong arms to hold the flyssa in a lunge for any length of time. I have some ideas about wielding these more effectively in slashing but I'll need some confirmation.

No actual photos Iain, just a drawing of a "Guerrier Kabyle" in Armes Africaines I think. It's been reproduced here on the forum before.
