Sinister Dexterity: Messer Fencing for and against Left-handers
Спорт
People have been asking for it, and now it's here: a video on left-handed messer fencing. Because fight books deny the existence of these sinful left-handed people, we never really get cross-handed situations in sources. So how do we adapt what we already know? I tried to make it useful for both left-handers and people fighting against left-handers. I hope it's somewhat useful! :)

I fence left handed and one thing you did not mention about left hander fencing right is that your hands with the weapons in will be closer to each other then people are normally used to in same hand vs same hand. It's a really small thing but I find a lot of people don't often notice that we are standing that bit closer then we would be if using the same hand and some times really weird things happen as a result.
"Longsword Barbarians" thank you, I really like the term.

Hehehe, as an also- longsword instructor I feel I'm allowed to make that joke. :P

These are blackfencer nylons. We have them at the club, also in left-handed versions. Not as nice as steel, but still really great cost effective trainers.
