Lewis always had a different take: side-stepping the issue he replied that <strong>as a professional fighter he did not have a better hand<\/strong>. I don\u2019t think he was bragging, just pointing out the error of accepting the inequality of your two hands. He would say, I think, that having a &#8220;better hand&#8221; is the product of accepting a lower standard of skill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plumpub.com\/kaimen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/art_whichhand1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11751 alignleft\" style=\"margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;\" alt=\"art_whichhand1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plumpub.com\/kaimen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/art_whichhand1.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plumpub.com\/kaimen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/art_whichhand1.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.plumpub.com\/kaimen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/art_whichhand1-200x136.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a>Still, it brings up some interesting variations. If, for instance, I were in a knife-vs.-hands fight, I would probably lead with my more secure hand (of course, if that got slashed I might also be in a pickle of trouble.) THAT brings up this idea: <strong>can the two hands ever really be equal?<\/strong> And are there certain advantages to inequality? For instance, many styles of Kung Fu traditionally train the left hand first. For one thing, if you train the left hand you have entered the back door and meet much less resistance from the over-educated right hand. Then, further in your training, you will generalize the right hand side from\u00a0the already educated left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sometimes students find that their left side actually performs certain actions better than the right because, as we say, <strong>the left side has no opinion.<\/strong> I assume, of course, all of this is pretty much the same for all you lefties out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Can you <strong>really<\/strong> reach parity with the hands?
