OK... I thought if the épéeists can have a separate thread, also we who know which hand to use for fencing can have our wonderful topic here. Lefties rule!
By the way - I'd like to know how do you call us in different languages? I know some:
Balkezes (Hungarian)
Linkshändig (German)
Vänsterhänt (Swedish)
Mancino/mancina (Italian)
If you know any more, post it here! |

| Of course! If you're using your useful hand for fencing, you're a lefty. Also I write with my right hand... but fencing left! | |

| I'm totally left handed, fear me! 
Except for sports like cricket and baseball/softball.. Don't know why, just swing things like that the "right handed" way.

| If Inquartata can post in the sabre thread, and men can post in the women's thread, I can post in this thread.
So...um...I'm a rebel. | |

In French, they really call it "Gaucher", and not Bizarre. Bizarre is the look in the eyes of my opponents when I defeat them...
Also, for those of you lefties who leave in the London area: http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/
This shop was created by the guys who got some major banks to issue left-handers checkbooks.
And if you ever doubted that lefties are superior: http://www.indiana.edu/~primate/left.html
