so chris in answer to your question it is not difficult it is all about how you teach. I agree that it is not possible in some cases because the instructors are not capable of seeing that individual differences are not as acceptable as people would like them to be. it is just about a structured training regime that novices fit into not fitting the structure to novices
Fair enough. Are you actually talking about rank beginners though? It takes us half an hour to sort ~40 beginners into lefties or righties, and get them kitted up... and we are not all you

I am about as uncompromising as it gets with regard to teaching good technique, but our other coaches are just too nice...

Id like to take a look at that article.
