A Sinister Night of Fencing

Sinister, from the Latin "Sinistra" meaning left

Tonight at practice, I decided to fight the night left handed. This is something I want to employ regularly, perhaps splitting my practice times between left and right sides.

Overall, the experience was good! Of course, I took more losses than usual, but I got an eye opener about how body mechanics can differ when changing from right to left hands.

Also, because I had to think more about using my rapier, my grip was more relaxed and I found my opponent's blade a little easier.
