Right-handed swordsmen are usually, from my experience, somewhat confused since the sword swings aren't coming from where they are expecting them and their swings are going where they aren't accustomed to putting them. /* End of text from convexs:net.legal */ "Lefties" on the other hand, only (usually) get to fight "righties" and are also confused when battling another "leftie". I had a lot of fun in college "swapping" hands (between bouts with the same person). I didn't have to be nearly as good with the other hand, just the swap would confuse the hell out of them...
