skills I understand, because your reflexes are wired a certain way and do
not adapt well in other situations. However....
I find it extremely amusing that I throw better on my left side,
rather than my right. Especially Tai-Otoshi or Uchimata. Even though
most of my years of practice has been on my right side. This often
happens with middle-rank practicioners too; they end up throwing/falling
kicking better on their off side rather than their "on" side.
I think it's because their off side hasn't picked up the bad
habits that the on side has, and since they understand the basics of the
technique, they perform it uncluttered by bad preconceptions.
Go figure.
