WITD 101.34 Reverse Your Brain56 viewsReverse Your Brain focuses on the concept of brain elasticity, or using the opposite hemisphere of your brain. Rather than dig into the research, it puts forth the principle that every moment you spend practicing the 4 WITD techniques with your "opposite" hand will make your "dominant" hand smarter. The result is proficiency faster in dungeon play with your dominant hand than would have occurred without the opposite hand practice. Ambidextrous throwers should practice both sides as well, lol.07/09/20 at 21:45Dex: I'm jealous, I wish I could florentine.
