There seems to be a trend where someone will think that they're ambidextrious, but whenever they switch, they almost always circle in the same direction as before and all they do is throw the jab. I think being "ambidextrious" is extremely overrated, many people think they can switch, they start forming bad habits, then become equally shitty on both sides.

IMO training both sides takes a lot of time and effort and unless there's a lot of dedication. For the most part, I don't think it's worth it.

EDIT: Why in the hell would you be circling left in a southpaw stance?
