When I was in high school the fencing team had "F***ing Team" t-shirts.

Are they all left-handed?
They just start the fight that way, but if they’re losing then they’ll switch to the right hand
Woah, I thought maybe the pic was flipped, but the text in the background says no. Yeah, it does appear they are all left handed. Sinister Fencers
IIRC it gives a pretty significant advantage as most fencers are used to right hand opponents
Random stat I found on a site that doesn't cite a source :
While only 10% of the general population is left-handed, roughly 30% of Olympic fencing medalists have been left-handed.
Edit : Apparently it's not just about unfamiliarity, due to how fencing works:
However, the geometric differences in left-versus-right fencing mean the advantage can be narrowed but never fully eliminated

I was in a band called that. We mostly played grunge and reggae covers of Hannah Montana songs while straddling various animatronic creatures on stage.
Ok, but no joke. All three of them could kill us in a knife fight.
Not these guys; you need the sabre for those skills.
Who won the pissing match?
I am not taking sides so I am staying on the fence. At least someone got the point.
Sorry, not sorry, I am seeing my self out
