I kept using my right hand as a weapon and left as a shield but sometimes I made a surprise punch with left hand.so convenient when in fighting.

LoonylionI was taught to shake hands with the left, because its the shield arm, so when you shake hands your shield protects your body and your sword hand is ready to draw.That kinda defeats one of the common thought of the purpose of the handshake. A friendly gesture to show that you have no weapons and are not a threat :)Similar to the toasting of glasses at gatherings, which some think originates from people actually mixing bits of their shared drink together as to show that neither of them is trying to poison the other.
Blade5406 · #22Almost all great men are left-handed....I forgot which book I read it all about it though...You may be thinking of 'Right-Hand, Left-Hand' by Chris McManusDid you know that south paws are 15% richer than right-handed men if they attended college, and 26% richer if they graduated?? Too bad it dosnt apply to women....

timmy1991 · #28since when is being left-handed contagious?Leftus-Handedis is a really contagious virus that attacks your right hand and forces you to use your left for everything

I've also almost graduated and I shake people's hands with my right hand, simply because I have the most important thing at that moment in my left hand: a glass of beer.Also, in China people considered me highly-intelligent because I ate with chopsticks using my left hand. :)
