HOT TOPIC #4: Leads
To be a good fighter, should you train to fight from both a right and left side leading position, or should you concentrate on being the best you can be from your natural lead side? Most people have limited time in which to train, so is it not more advantageous to only train using you natural side in the lead? You can train to fight against both right and left side lead fighters from just this one side without have to switch your lead side. Is not it better to be very good at a lot of techniques on one side than it is to be just good at only a few techniques on both sides?

Hey. It's always nice to have a training alternative in case of injuries. Indeed, habitually leading with only the dominant side can set you up for a great many overuse injuries. Also, I'm rather a slow student, but practicing with both leads helped a lot versus left-handed sparring partners. Finally, when I'm closing up a great deal of distance on an opponent, I find it quicker, and perhaps more confounding to my opponent, to alternate. Thanks for reading.
