22. In fencing (sword fighting), what makes left-handers successful?

Fencing is a sport where the very best practitioners don't think,
but react. This requires practice, practice, practice in order to
develop an instinctual approach. The scarcity of left-handers means
that right-handers don't get a chance to practice (usually) and fail
to develop that edge. Conversely, left-handers practice against right-
handers frequently which give them more chances to develop a high skill
level.
