I just started fencing recently. I am left-handed and am watching your video series on foil. I am maybe 5 videos in and I love this series. You are doing an excellent job. The explanations are great, the content is massive, and all of the videos are easier to follow along with and understand. Thank you for your hard work, keep it up! The teachings are appreciated!
The most significant difference as a lefty is that you are inherently closer to your opponent and your back is generally more vulnerable. For this reason, some lefties tend to ride the left side of the piste to deny this target area. In future content, we will see about dedicating more discussion on left-handed fencing.

I’ve decided to train foil in addition to epee just because of you.
Good luck in both endeavours and have lots of fun, both are fine weapons!
I’m a left handed athlete, could you have an exclusive content for that on this perspective?

Really excellent stuff. I tried this out in both foil and épée and it suddenly opened up some effortless shoulder flicks ❤
Splendid! That's always great to hear and glad you are having success on the piste.
These videos are treasure.
They should be protected by UNESCO.
Thank you! Thrilled you are enjoying them :)
