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

    Dang when I was in high school I had to take a bumper sticker off my car to park in the lot, a sticker provided by our state health department.

    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

    Ok, but no joke. All three of them could kill us in a knife fight.
