Since most of the world is right-handed, it is uncommon for a right- hander to come up against a lefty. This gives those of us of the south-pawed persuasion an extra advantage when it comes to "killing" our opponents. 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. It must have been even more of a benefit when people were fighting to really kill. Wayne Morrison
