Weird because I am very good at anything else that requires aiming, archery, darts, any kind of shooting,
Then in my mid fifties DING DING While playing ball with my dogs I discovered I am left footed......... with my left foot I can kick a ball accurately hard and far so much for sports masters useless cunts well its too fucking late now
when I think of all the unnecessary humiliations, rows, and fight's in my boyhood..........
I was the same, but great at aiming and shooting, until I tried clays and couldn't hit a fucking thing.
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.
I'm the same left eye dominant but shoot right handed !
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.
