Nice. Cutting from the "wrong" side always feels weird, but that's why it's important to practice both sides equally. Ideally, you should have the same performance from either right or left.

Yes, that's the aim. Right to left is no problem for me, and left to right was significantly weaker so I had to work out a solution for that. Now it works. Some of my students are in the reversed that they suck at right to left due to their left arm applying too much braking too early on, and are ok in left to right because naturally they could not brake their sword with the different arms structure. So they've to work on relaxing their left hand and apply the brake later, yet firmer.

Good for you! I have always felt that practice time should be spent working on what we aren't good at, rather than doing the things that we can already do well. Making a conscience effort to practice our weak side will result in having NO weak side. It can be done, it just takes a willingness to spend the time and effort to do it.

Literally facing one's own weakness.
