Re: The proud dad thread.
It Might be something to do with being naturally left handed but being in the last generation physically forced to convert to the right hand.Today I am somewhat ambidextrous but bias toward the right hand. Whatever you would have thought at least one of the many sports teachers would have said "Now try with your other foot". None of them ever did, all I ever got was derision and mockery, Sports at the schools I went to were pretty much organized bullying anywaySadact7 wrote:How on Earth do you not know you're left footed?

Lift her out of her cot in the morning 'rassssssp' followed by a giggle and a smile, put her in her high chair for breakfast 'rassssssssssp' followed by the giggle and smile, put her on the floor to tend to her brother 'rasssp' 'rassp' 'rasssssssssssssp'
Yesterday however she excelled herself. On the change mat and she's rassssping away. She then proceeds to rasp and fart simultantionsly. I was awe struck

Following on from it being different with a punch bag to a real person, yesterday one of the bullies at school decided to pull my boys trousers down in the changing room, so he got a battering for his troubles in front of the other kids.
Fucking ace, the teacher broke it up - so it will be interesting to see what happened today when he gets home.

It was then that the instructor found that my left eye was dominant (I used to wear an eye patch on my left eye whilst shooting as I found it hard to keep closed). So I shot left handed and was much improved.
Also left footed which was quite handy as I played left back !
Glad to hear your boy has sorted it out Colin, nothing worse than being a dad and seeing a situation where you want to jump in but think 'no they have to sort this ' I think he will enjoy himself in training whether it's boxing or martial arts, I did judo and karate as a kid, then a big gap and started wing chun with my eldest daughter,she dropped out at 16, then I trained again doing so mixed stuff including boxing.
Hope it's all sorted now.

My lad was bullied at school as he was quite skinny and wore glasses yet he always gave it a go even though he always lost. Years later one of the main protagonists had a go at him again, he didn't know in the intervening years he was now facing a commando.

I used the word protagonist because the said individual was very much the leading character of a group of bullies and was centre stage in this particular drama, he was in this instance a villain not a hero. It is a perfectly acceptable use of the word protagonist; my son was the antagonist even though he did not deliberately seek to start any trouble.

Most people leave all that kind of crap behind when they leave school , after a couple of years even the worst of the bullies from my old school had started behaving more like humans
