A left handed swordsman wears the shield on the right arm.
Lefty Low Strap Shields may provide comfortable protection for fighters that struggle with hurt shoulders. Your right arm can hold a secure lightweight shield while your left arm fights to protect you, providing relief and security to an overworked right rotator cuff. Please use caution and consult a physician. I am not giving medical advice. I am telling you that I’ve seen right handed fighters use lefty shields for the stated reasons. Please fight at your own risk.
