minus-squarenickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up47·29 days agoWhen fencing, left-handed people have the significant advantage of being able to dramatically switch their rapier from their right hand to their left hand, mid-combat, and announce that they are not really right-handed.

minus-squareCase@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·27 days agoRealistically, I found left handed opponents to be more difficult to compete against. It took me longer to learn their body movements that would indicate a strike, and where they are aiming. It wast just less intuitive. Also, fencing a little person was a somewhat unique experience. Totally threw me off my game.
minus-squareCaptPretentious@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·28 days agoI did that in badminton. I’m the beginning I swapped hands when they weren’t looking. Once they caught on, of randomly swap whenever.
