minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 month 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.
