Lesson from an unlikely source

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

I have the Playstation 2 Revenge of the Sith Game. I got to the point where i have to fight Mace Windu. The game suddenly got much harder. I noticed that the left hand is more central in fighting Mace than all the stages before this point in the game. For the first time in my life I noticed that my right hand is far better than my left hand. Empress Palpatine's hands are closer in function. She leans right handed but the left is not enimic like mine. It seems my nurons do not tell my fingers to move for my left hand as my right hand. It is a supprise lesson to find out you have a handycap so late in life. It also taught me how much the human body does things to adapt. I heard of people retraining their limbs after a stroke or something. My question is does any one know the proceedier of how one can train the fingers and hand so the nurons will fire off better? To me a wise Sith if descovering a handycap or weakness will seek a way to overcome it so that is the spirit of the question I asked.

What i read is that you just found out that your right-handed, but thats not a extraordinary thing.
75% of mankind is righ-handed, the remaining beeing left-handed and some lucky ambidextrus dudes out there.
I guess that any exercice of hability that you make with your left hand ( sinistra in latin ) will help you to have more control over it, but you will never be able to surpass the righht hand habilitie.
Funny, because america is the country with the highest number of left-handed per million.
Maybe the Empress is a natural left-handed that was forced to become a right-handed, that would explain her habilitie.

[Empress Palpatine]

Hmmm...was I ever actually left-handed? Not that I recall. The difference between my hands is less extreme than Mrs. Vader's. I am an artist. They say that the right side of the brain is what controls the left hand, and it also has a lot to do with drawing. Perhaps that is a clue.

I do notice that when playing that Ep. 3 game, there is a variation on what you do in each part. Some scenarios are more right handed, some more both or left.

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

I was not refering to the mere thing of being right handed as apposed to left handed. I was talking about when the differances are greater than in the average person. I was hopeing that Exar Kun would answer this one because he gave real good advice as did Seti-I Shadim in another thread when I asked how to handle an impossible person you are stuck liveing with. Both gave good answers I was hopeing that they would know what theropies would be helpfull in getting the left hand and right hand to be not so differant. May be in this case Azzel the english was misunderstood. There is a subtlety in the english language that is sometimes missed when english is a second language. I hope I clearified things a bit so you understand what I was really asking.

Well here I am. Mrs. Darth Vader, I will try to help as much as I can. I don't know of any therapies that can help make the differences between the hands less noticiable. What I can suggest are some exercises that can assist you. Try target practice! Seriously, tie a piece of paper with a string and put it about eye level. Now, strike the paper with right hand then left hand. You can draw a large circle in the paper. Try to strike the middle of the circle without thinking about it. Just strike. As you get better, make the circle smaller. Keep trying to strike the middle of circle. It will work your reflexes and your ability to control your muscles in both hands. You can also work your hands by squeezing those hand clamp things. Basic things will also help. Try brushing your teeth with whichever hand you want to make stronger. Or eat with that hand. By learning to control muscles, your hands will begin to become more equal. Will take some time.

Thank you Lord Exar Kun. That was exactly what I was looking for. I will definatly try it. I knew you would have the answer since you are an acomplished martial artist. So once again thanks.:-D
