Question

I'm part ambidextrous and I was just wondering if it possible to train yourself to be completely ambidextrous?

Answer 1

Congrats on the talent! And yes, if you work at it you can become completely ambidextrous. All it takes is practice. Even people who don't start our partially so can become ambidextrous with lots of practice, you'll just have an easier time of it.

Answer 2

im sure with enough practice it would be close

but i dont think that you can use both perfectly.

Answer 3

what the heck is dat, i guess u can idk

Answer 4

Left handed people often have to function as right handed.  Despite the fact that some 15% of people are left handed, many products only come in right handed versions.

A friend of mine lost most of the use of his right hand to polio.  He's, unfortunately, right handed.  So he's had to use his left hand for most things.

These people had a harder time, because they are strongly one handed.  They can do it because they must.  So to train yourself to be ambidextrous, you must have discipline and patience to see it through.  When i was a child, i started on a program to train myself to be more capable with my left hand, but abandoned it when i discovered just how right handed i was.

But i type with both hands.  My left hand doesn't slow me down, and i don't use my right hand for more of the keyboard, even for numbers.

Answer 5

Some stroke victims have had to learn how to write with their other hand, due to suffering paralysis on the side of their body with their original writing hand.  So it's certainly something can be learned.  

Answer 6

I had to train myself to be right-handed, after breaking my left humerus (the bone between the forearm and the shoulder) in half.  

It took 9 months to rehab my left arm, but only 2 or 3 to become ambidextrous.  My right-handed handwriting looked just as good as my left-handed handwriting after about 3 months of constant practice/use.

Just little things you do every day with your dominant hand help tremendously with the coordination in your other hand:  brushing your teeth, shaving, using the phone, typing, shampooing your hair, etc.

I hope that helps!

Answer 7

Yeah I think it's possible becuase my sister actually trained herself to be ambidextrous and she got really good at it. She wasn't even part ambidextrous either. I think what could help is if you have a parent who is left handed and the other is a righty. Then it could probably be easier for you to train. My dad is a lefty and my mom is a righty, so that's probably why my sister became ambidextrous so easily lol. I think I could do it to if I tried. But anyway, if you're part ambidextrous, I'm sure you could become a full one by practicing. Hope I helped! ^-^

Answer 8

I wish i knew what ambidextrous is,i would like to be completely one.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

well just like you learned to write and do other things with one hand when you were younger, if you work hard enough to do it with the left hand, it should be the same thing, only a bit harder since you're not used to it :)

Answer 11

Yes, martial artists do it. A good martial artist trains their basics and their forms on both sides.
