For opening doors, regardless of a character’s actual handedness, characters use the hand on same side as the hinges when opening or closing both push and pull type doors. This avoids having the arm cross awkwardly over the body while opening or shutting it.

Also, I am assuming none of the characters have been hiding their true handedness in the long term.<ref>Inigo Montoya: I admit it; you are better than I am. <br />Man in Black: Then why are you smiling? <br />Inigo: Because I know something you don't know. <br />Man in Black: And what is that? <br />Inigo: I am not left handed!<br /><br />None of this type thing in the long term.</ref> There may be one-off situations where a switch in handedness may be deliberate, these I mark in green.

The second looks to me like a wing chun styled punch (vertical fist) Third is a roundhouse kick. Fourth looks to me like a heel hook kick.... On second thought...

(Ambiguous as hand to hand combat relies on effective use of both hands and legs)</font><ref name=kyuu2>Bruce Lee didn't care two licks about handedness and stance based on handedness. What he did do was state that your most powerful weapons should be easily accessible.... For instance Bruce Lee chose southpaw so that his right leg, which was slightly shorter would be in front, which allowed for a devastatingly fast and powerful kick. His style was very flexible and allowed for deviation dependent on what the practitioner felt would suit them the best. He never even mentions handedness in the Tao of JKD. </ref><ref>[[User:BlackWings]] says: Likewise, while her return to a southpaw stance with her front/right hand occupied indicates this is her natural stance, but says little of handedness, especially since she's a Jeet Kune Do practitioner. Many fighters deviate from the traditional "lefties fight southpaw, righties fight orthodox" idea, and Bruce Lee was one of them, believing that one should place the dominant hand in the front ("lefties fight orthodox, righties fight southpaw") to shorten the distance between the hand and the target - not all JKD users adhere to this idea, but the principle is taught in a number of schools, and some, particularly Jun Fan branch schools, train their students this way.</ref>

Latest revision as of 01:36, 25 May 2016

This is a guide to various characters' handedness.

General assumptions

For opening doors, regardless of a character’s actual handedness, characters use the hand on same side as the hinges when opening or closing both push and pull type doors. This avoids having the arm cross awkwardly over the body while opening or shutting it.

When holding two things or doing things with two hands, the dominant hand will be holding or doing the thing that is most interesting, dangerous, or precision-requiring unless a door is involved or would require a dropping of the guard, i.e. switching gun hands while aiming at someone. Cell phones will tend to get held in a character’s dominant hand while driving for instance.

When handling guns, the dominant hand goes on trigger while the off hand stabilizes.

Also, I am assuming none of the characters have been hiding their true handedness in the long term.[1] There may be one-off situations where a switch in handedness may be deliberate, these I mark in green.

Summary

No character, even those with known handedness, uses their dominant hand 100% the time. Gun handling is the most consistently dominant handed activity. Phone, radio, and listening device handling seem to be the most prone to offhand use. When compared to known lefty Gin, Okiya and Akai are left handed and well within tolerable limits for occasional righthanded use. In contrast, Vodka is clearly righthanded.

Akai Shuuichi

Guns

  • 354 - handgun in left waist high pocket - it is set for left handed draw

  • 434 - pumps gun in flashy way using only left hand
  • 434 - holds gun in left and aims left handed only (right in pocket)
  • 504 - using left eye to look through scope and left handed style for rifle handling, (left finger on trigger while supporting with right). Note Akai's Accuracy International Arctic Warfare is a right handed model (the location of the bolt is right). This may be an art error by Gosho. (see note)[2]

Notes

  1. ^ Inigo Montoya: I admit it; you are better than I am.
    Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
    Inigo: Because I know something you don't know.
    Man in Black: And what is that?
    Inigo: I am not left handed!

    None of this type thing in the long term.
  2. ^ It is unlikely Akai is really right handed because it would be very foolish to use his off dominant hand on a one-try-only precision shot from 700 yards
  3. ^ It was a random patient's gift basket so setting the fruit down wherever would be rude; holding the fruit in his hands without setting it down would be more polite, necessitating the use of the right hand.
  4. ^ The radio doesn't have an antenna, but unfortunately the art isn't clear enough to tell.
  5. ^ a b Kyuuketsuki says: OK! the moves! The first move could be any number of moves, but I would tend to think of it as a front kick, designed to intercept Ran's kick. The second looks to me like a wing chun styled punch (vertical fist) Third is a roundhouse kick. Fourth looks to me like a heel hook kick.... On second thought... The hook kick could have just been the completion of the roundhouse kick overpowering Ran... And the punch could have been a standard punch, but its hard to tell...
  6. ^ Bruce Lee didn't care two licks about handedness and stance based on handedness. What he did do was state that your most powerful weapons should be easily accessible.... For instance Bruce Lee chose southpaw so that his right leg, which was slightly shorter would be in front, which allowed for a devastatingly fast and powerful kick. His style was very flexible and allowed for deviation dependent on what the practitioner felt would suit them the best. He never even mentions handedness in the Tao of JKD.
  7. ^ User:BlackWings says: Likewise, while her return to a southpaw stance with her front/right hand occupied indicates this is her natural stance, but says little of handedness, especially since she's a Jeet Kune Do practitioner. Many fighters deviate from the traditional "lefties fight southpaw, righties fight orthodox" idea, and Bruce Lee was one of them, believing that one should place the dominant hand in the front ("lefties fight orthodox, righties fight southpaw") to shorten the distance between the hand and the target - not all JKD users adhere to this idea, but the principle is taught in a number of schools, and some, particularly Jun Fan branch schools, train their students this way.
