I agree , there should be vouchers for it all . I think having direct control of your tax dollars is amazing , thats why I ' m pro voucher . <| sep |> I ' m sure they ' re all lefties . There ' s no way they would be that good with their off hand . Fencing is asymmetrical across the entire body . Switching sides would change everything with no transfer other than strategy . So much of the sport is muscle memory and complex , timed actions that are drilled repeatedly . You ' d lose all of that by switching hands , even if you ' re at their level . Because , as you said , they have advantage , in high level fencing the proportion of lefties is way higher than in the general population . Not unlike the way there ' s a high number of left handed baseball pitchers .
