A concept that I call “Cross lateral learning transference” is when you use one side of your body to teach the other side a skill or leaned movement pattern. Most people are not ambidextrous and have a preferred or dominant side that they use to do a particular technique. When practicing your techniques on a dummy, you have the time to analyze what your good side is doing and apply what you recognize towards teaching and/or improving your less dominant side. This takes practice and assumes you have already developed some degree of proficiency on one side of your body.
