Weapon Ambidexterity: Vikings, Bushwhackers and Necessity

SEEKING AMBIDEXTERITY is a worthy goal — but one that has “opportunity costs.” That is, the time we must put into developing the offhand (or off-foot for kicking or offside for grappling) means less time can be invested in moving the competency needle closer to mastery on our good side.
