the russians use that grip, they call it the cossack grip, they also have the circasian grip as well as the hammer and sabre grips

Thank you again! Is there value in doing this with both hands just to get exercise symmetry and force both halves of the brain to learn the moves?

In theory yes, but you should never train the non dominant side to the neclect of the dominant. A lot of time people train both because their dominant feels tired and as a result they never build good body mechanics or conditioning on their dominant side. So I would not train the non dominant side until you are very well conditioned with the dominant side. It doesn't so much help the one side, it just gives you options should you ever need to give your main arm rest because of injury or overtraining.

Just a question I am left handed, keep trying the right hand but pfft no. When I practice this drill I use the same numbering for the cuts. It shouldn't make a difference for the purpose of learning the mechanics? In going through Roworth's drills I keep the same cuts but adapt the parries to correspond with the change of hands. Outside becomes Inside and vise versa. Should I change the cuts as well or is this okay? In period everyone was right handed, it makes sense it's the military. Besides even if they allowed people to fight left handed it would've made a huge weakness due to the extra room needed for them to fight. I however am interested in a more competitive nature. Sorry that was a long winded way to ask "Am I doing this correctly"

As a lefty i say it make since but becareful to not mix the cut angles, so if your instructor askes to "throw a number 3 cut" you're sending it to where he is expecting.it will make ot easiy for the right handers. Reality is as in any martial art we leftys will learning both left and right handed...
