Thanks for those posts!

I am truly asymmetrical. People used to smile when new people were attacked by me. Getting over the physical issues that cause it, but I wanted to add that we make our bodies asymmetrical all the time. Carpenters swing hammers with the same hand through a whole forty year career. We write with the same hand, etc.

Aikido, walking, swimming, maybe they counter these other aspects.
