Hi,

I have been in the UK Scouts for many years, and was always told that the reason for using the left hand was to keep the right to swing a punch. Is this just a local inaccuracy, or does anyone know of anything similar? 92.40.202.157 (talk) 16:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am the original poster (not sure if IP has changed due to being on mobile), and have been informed this is wrong. Please disregard this unless a source one way or the other can be found. 2A00:23C6:C14:301:F820:F192:4781:580B (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
