Both fencers have the same handicap. The "disadvantage" is relative
to their own performance when fencing a righty.  Because of the lack of practice
their fencing is much more awkward  and not nearly as clean. As a result, the
fencers both perceive themselves as being at a disadvantage because their
movements don't feel right. (Just like I feel when fencing against a lefty :-))
So in the sense that both are fencing below par, both are at a disadvantage.
