- 3. Any suggestions for someone who feels COMPLETELY awkward

- Sorry, no silver bullets. The only thing I have found is lots and lots
- of practice. I try, when learning something new, to practice twice
- as many reps on my left as my right. If I'm using two sticks, I use
- a heavy one in my left hand, normal on right.

- It takes patience, but it can be done. A friend of mine while I was
- coming up throught the ranks was a real fanatic about this. He
- wan not ambidexterous, but he trained really hard to make his left
- as good as his right on all his techniques. He even taught himself to
- use chopsticks and to *write* lefty. Amazing.
