I see where you guys are coming from, but I still believe it's a good idea to learn to perform your techniques on both sides.
I think you are right Clyde, about not putting TOO much time into training the off side and that you will respond with your dominant side first. No doubt. BUT: the principles w/in the techniques (which I regard as MORE important than the technical mechanics of the techs themselves) can be trained and ingrained into either/andor/both sides of your body. Besides just working on coordination (which it's very good for) I believe it increases your vocabulary.
Hope I get to see you again some day Clyde. Really enjoyed meeting you in Vegas that one time!
