    Lefty Club

    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!

    Can you write with your left hand as well?
    I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

    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.

    There's a sabre thread? And if so, why shouldn't I post in it?

    Not really... as I write with classical pens, and those "get used to" one hand. But with a pencil I usually can, though, not as nice as with right. But at all, I've learnt to write as a child, and always with right hand!

    Same here. The right hand is the useless one.

    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
    • Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
    • To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial

    Ooh!! I need one of those near me. Someday I'll get myself nice left handed scissors.
