This reminds me of how left-handed boxers generally have an advantage over their opponents.

- dmoy 5y agoThe same is true in fencing. Though it's mostly because fencing (or boxing) a lefty as a righty is unusual enough that you have less practice doing it. While the lefty pretty much only fences (or boxes) against righties. It boils down entirely to comfort. Someone with a good lefty in their club/team that they regularly practice against won't have much difficulty with it. What's really funny, by the way, is watching two lefties fence against each other when neither of them have a second really good lefty to practice against. It just looks... awkward. Of course then you get to a high enough level and it's 100% footwork, and the lefty/right bit mostly stops mattering.
