In the past I just do the moves and looked for what I could add on and keep in mind the way my instructor expects me to perform the moves in class. But like I said this week I have been forced to go very slow in doing the techs. I have also been looking to try and practice more on techs that work my left arm/ hand more and kind of lay off my right arm/ hand. Something that I seem to have missed up to this point I dont know of any that can be done with out using my right arm.
Infact the bulk of what I learned up to this point the main body of the moves seem to be right handed. Some techs off the top of my head, and I am sure there are a lot more.
Shield and Hammer
Five swords
Raining claw
Destructive twins
Twin Kimono
Wings of Silk
Delayed sword can be either but mostly right handed
Obstructing the storm
Defying the Storm
Grasp of Death
Begging hands
Captured Twigs
Being right handed I never really gave it much thought but I would think a left handed person would have a much harder time with Kenpo. Always having to initiate a tech with your weak side wouldnt that make doing a lot of the moves much more difficult or not as strong?
Would love to hear your comments this is just something I was thinking about and well more of a curiosity than anything
