ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This week we are covering the subject of whole arm movement, or muscular movement in handwriting, also know as the Palmer Method of Business Handwriting.
Implementing whole arm movement into my left handed cursive in a forward direction has resulted in some unexpected outcomes. Firstly, I have found that movements required in order to practically use whole arm writing are actually easier than they are with the right hand. My right hand is still decades ahead of the my left hand, however, if I continue to practice this style of left handed writing I may actually surpass the abilities of my right hand.
I highly recommend that you give this style of writing a shot and continue to work to fully embrace it as your primary style of writing.
Pay very close attention to the placement of your arm as you practice and remember that the writing arm stays in its fixed position and the right hand will move your paper across your writing zone. This collaboration between hands is very important.
Do note that my position shown is what is most comfortable for me. If you do not find my position comfortable you will simply have to experiment with the placement of your forearm. You do not want your shoulder to be pushed up in any way and rather want it to be relaxed. This relaxed style of writing is very different compared to a lot of the cramped writing positions taken up today. Correcting your positioning may actually be the most difficult part of implementing this new style of writing.
Feel free to post any questions below! #PracticalPenmanship

I would love to get some natural lefties feedback on this technique.

@TraveltheRedRoad 6 лет назад

I'm a natural lefty but have awful penmanship skills and am seeking to improve my handwriting, I will be looking further into this technique after giving it a quick tryout yielded positive results. Normal problems for a lefty is the old "covering up as I'm writing" problem which results in either smudged, messy writing or contorted grip and cramp. To further compound my disastrous handwriting style I seem to "sketch" my words meaning that rather than clearly writing I give an impression of the word instead. I do this especially when my hand gets tired of writing. This seems like a useful technique to help remedy some of those problems. thanks for sharing

@DieyenDualPen 6 лет назад

Thank you sharing! Keep me updated with your progress! I'll make more left hand forward writing videos to show how my progress is coming along. Good luck!

@938thave 5 лет назад

I have been a side writing lefty for over fifty years and am now taking the time to learn to under write. I have been exploring whole arm writing, the Palmer method, and finding the sweet spot for paper rotation angle vis a vis my left hand/arm and my body. You turn the paper further clockwise (starting from perpendicular to the body and desk edge) than is comfortable for me; I keep it closer to 45 degrees, but your approach does encourage a more natural arm swing for the up and down strokes rather than pushing and pulling them through the letters if the hand is fully underneath them as you write. All that said, the unlearning/relearning muscle memory and the associated eye and brain connections is worth the hours of practice.

Hello. I just discovered this. What useful advice! I am a 75 year old lefty who has always struggled to have beautiful handwriting. I remember in first grade, Mrs. Smith taking extra time with me to teach me how to hold my paper like that. She wasnt even my own first grade teacher, but when my mom reached out to her she stepped up. Unfortunately, my other early grade teachers did nothing to encourage my left handed way of doing things. Remember those were still the years when left handed people were forced to use their right hand. At least that didn't happen to me. So here I am wanting to fulfill my dream of having what i consider to be beautiful penmanship before I die. 😅 i think I'll give it a go!

I am a natural leftie, I've been writing palmer style with a hook but it's not that comfortable so I am transitioning into this method with a mirrored angle of a right handed position. I find it difficult to imagine the movement in my head from this angle for now, but if I keep practicing the letters I'll hopefully get used to it.

@feuerundwasser282 4 года назад

Hey there, Daniel! I can approve as left handed person that Palmer method and spencerian or copperplate with oblique holder in left hand are much easier to write then with a right hand. You never have to do push pull moves and you never stuck with the elbow in table.

@feuerundwasser282 4 года назад

Also now, I think writing with whole arm movement is more natural for left hand then for right. With right hand is better to write with fingers.

@staceycoates1418 6 лет назад

I did not watch the video on Palmer's so what I do may not have anything to do with you are trying to show. I find that I use my elbow to pivot. My elbow is on the table, about the midpoint of the paper. So I move my arm up a bit to start the line, at the mid point of the page my arm is perpendicular and then I start moving my arm towards me for the last half of the line. I do use my pinky to stabilize my hand while I am writing. Since I am an underhand writer it is about an inch or two below where I am writing.

@Dreamingcalligrapher 6 лет назад

Thats very interesting. I myself am also an ambidextrous penman. I'm naturally left-handed but took up the pen with my right hand, thinking that would ultimately be more optimal. I've seen marbus' videos, but never thought to try that style with my left hand. Do you think it's necessary to hold the pen that far back on the barrel, as he does?

@DieyenDualPen 6 лет назад

Hi M. J. Awesome to find another ambidextrous penman! How far along is your right hand? To your question, no I do not think holding the barrel up so high is necessary. I think one reason he might do that is because he using a very fine, and potentially scratchy nib to write. I have found in replicating him that I enjoy the higher grip because that allows for a smoother part of nib to write. Where if you grip the barrel closer to the nib the pens angle to the paper will increase and you will most likely have a scratchier experience. But in general, no I don't think it's necessary as I've been able to replicate the movement gripping down lower on the barrel. I show you in this video at 11:50

@Dreamingcalligrapher 6 лет назад

Ahhh, gotcha. I miss the part in the video where you answered my question. I've been practicing very regularly for a year and seven months now. Over the past five months I've been weeding out some bad habits that I formed when I was first learning, and have seen the most improvement since then.

@Dreamingcalligrapher 2 года назад

@MSN Hey, MSN, that's okay. Even after all this time, I am still writing with my right hand as a lefty. I have moved away from business penmanship and now write a style of calligraphy called Engrosser's Script. You mentioned that you do lots of oval drills and push-pull drills. This is really good. I think doing lots of drills like this can be very helpful in developing muscular control in your right arm. Apart from that, it simply takes lots of consistency and practice. It took me a year of writing a little everyday before my right arm started to feel comfortable with the pen.

@watching_nyc 4 месяца назад

Very interesting topic and I appreciate your attention to detail. I’m admittedly a penmanship newbie but the professional cellist in me sees tension in your wrist being cocked that way. I realize it probably feels stable to you but that is definitely not a “natural” position for the hand to be in. Would a straighter wrist completely mess you up? I’m only curious because I’m ambidextrous but lean lefty especially when writing. As a middle aged adult I’m trying to relearn penmanship and I realized I also held a pen in a similar way for most of my life. I’ve slowly been trying to “correct” my bad habits and this is one that helped a lot. Thanks for the tips though! You are pretty talented and I appreciate the video.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

I think the trick there is with the finger that holds the pen below , you have to pay attention to that finger because it guides the wrist , I use a quadripod grip and I use my smallest finger to hold the pen "under" it as a support, you may use your middle finger as you use a tripod grip. Since you're pointing the pen to right side instead of the left, it's more similar to right hand writing tendencies, so applying pressure to the paper is easier, but I'd prefer going smoothly by the way.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

Holding the pen tighter BTW your fingers is also easier bc the way the pen is pointed.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

Also.... holding the pen farther from the tip is better with the left hand.

@DieyenDualPen 6 лет назад

I'm not sure I understand well what you mean by "you have to pay attention to that finger because it guides the wrist" It may be more because you're over contracting your finger with the quadripod grip that it is effecting your wrist. The tripod grip for me has come most naturally and I haven't seen anyone who is highly skilled use or recommend any other grip. I also don't understand when you say "I'd prefer going smoothly by the way." This style of writing is the smoothest I've found. Now that I've been practicing for a few weeks I see little hindrance and it accommodates the pivots of your arm very nicely, maybe even better than it might a right handed style of writing. Your grip should never be tight by the way, your fingers should be relaxed. If you fingernails change colors you are holding the pen too tight. How high you hold your pen up on the barrel matters very little I think. I show you at 11:50

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

I'm sorry if these tricks don't work out for you, everybody writes in a manner they find more comfortable, I'm used to quadripods grips since as a kid and I also don't write for a living, but I what I've also been trying to say is that I believe the trick in how you control your grip, and practicing how strong you hold it, but I believe the writing position comes naturally when you get used to the grip you use, whether or not it's a tripod, quadripod or held like a toddler.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

I'm also trying to say is that. .. experience with the fingers of your tripod grip, go slow, change strength. Try changing style with the thumb and with the middle finger of your grip. I'm out of advice.

@jentai7536 5 лет назад

My first observatios as a lefty overwriter trying this method : positioning the top of the paper perpendicular to the right edge of the table keeps the left hand well under the writing, which avoids smudge. BUT causes my slant to go vertical. Writing with side to side movements rather than push and pull corrects the slant until about the center of the page, after which the Palmer method renders chaotic marks. I fing that tilting paper to 45° angle to the right gives a better slant but then I'm gliding over the ink again which will cause smudging. I have some neck strain because my head keeps tilting towards the left, but that needs adaptation to this new posture. And lastly, I find holding the pen higher with lighter pressure is excellent. So for me, Palmer is probably not a panacea, but possibly in combination with other methods.

@DieyenDualPen 5 лет назад

thanks so much for sharing your experience and insight! Forgive me for not responding sooner. Your observation is very thorough and I really appreciate your time.

@emryshale4989 3 года назад

Will try this technique Pointless anecdote: throughout grade school i had a few teachers try to tell me i was writing with the wrong hand. I don't have as harsh experiences as some lefties (some people had to sit on their hand or do some things that were just cruel) but I was called out on it on various occasions bc I was the only lefty in most of my classes so I stood out. It would be embarrassing and I was a shy kid as it was. I was also raised to not argue with or talk back to adults so I was trying to find a way to defend myself without getting in trouble 🙃 I also knew someone in middle school that was born left handed, but his family is fairly wealthy (not ultra rich, but still high status) and his grandmother forced him to write with his right hand because left handedness is so taboo for some reason. Now he can't write with his left hand at all.

@DieyenDualPen 3 года назад

At least you kept your handedness :) I think we should all learn to write with both hands. Let me know if the technique works for you.

@gormikayelyan9793 3 года назад

If I am gonna start using whole arm movement, would it I be better off just learning to write with my right hand instead of relearning writing with my left( I am a leftie)? With left I would have to put the paper in an opposite angle than what I am used to, whereas with right hand, I just have a clean slate.

I wouldn't say that it's harder but the direction in which we write is more convenient for the right hand. So the left is at a disadvantage. That's why I primarily write mirror image with my left hand. Pulling across the page is more natural

@@DieyenDualPen My body position and the angle of my arm is as close to normal positioning as I can get it, for a lefthanded writer. That was the reasoning behind back slanting my letters; both cursive, block lettering. The other reason was speed. I was able to write faster with less stopping so your hand could "catch up" to the writing. My writing is perfectly legible and neat, but in reverse slant. I don't do writing much any more, preferring to touch type instead. The pencils I use are the 2mm Staedtler mechanical clutch pencil with H leads. I use a "Koh I Noor 992" lead pointer. I rarely smudge my writing, but if I do, then I'm not self-conscious of it like I used to be. It's a case of if you don't it, too bad, I'm left handed. I can, naturally read and write mirror writing, but that isn't practical for 90% of the population.

@channelsixtysix066 3 года назад

The limited range of motion with your left hand is due to the fact that left to right writing is primarily for right handers. 10:37 Writing right handed, you are dragging the pen across the page, left handed you are pushing the pen, so you can only push it so far, before you have to stop. The only way to fix this, is write in mirror writing, where everything is reversed, so the left hand is now dragging the pen across the page.

Left handed people would have better writing if we could write backwards, many of us started out writing our names that way.

Certainly not easy. It's difficult even for right handers to switch over to whole arm/muscular movement writing. I do have one friend who writes left handed using hook and has very beautiful cursive handwriting. I totally agree, and think everyone should learn to write with both hands from the beginning of education, left hand writes backwards (mirror) and right hand "forward." If we do that problem gone!

I got writer's cramp in my right hand. So I am not able to hold my pen in my right hand. So i started to write left hand. I got some instructions from your video. Thanks. But still my hand writing is slow. How to improve fast like right.

@DieyenDualPen 5 лет назад

It takes many years of practice. Insta how the right hand got fast and comfortable with writing. Glad ti know this video helped you :)

@@DieyenDualPen . Hi . Thank you for your reply. Yes it was happened one year ago. Now I can able to write in my left hand example 23 lines in A4 sheet 18 minutes. You know everything what are the difficulties the left hand person before anyone had a right hand person. But now I am facing pen problem. Which pen have I to select .? If you any image based pen picture please post me. It my request. Thanks

@@rameshpalanichamy7197 There are really a lot of pens to choose from. I enjoy for casual writing gel pens. But I almost always write with a fountain pen. The Pilot Metropolitan is a great introductory pen. Good luck!

Instructions unclear i become a right handed after doing it 😂

@joforrest1 2 года назад

As a natural left handed person, the first thing I noticed was you stant in a direction that is more natural to right handed people... I would never force myself to slant in that direction as it is unnatural and awkward .. I was taught to write at junior school so I have never had an issue with dragging my palm across the page causing the ink to smudge.. I hold the pen in the same way a R Handed person would..

Do you mean slant my writing or slant my paper?

Is that a standard "Right handed" nib?

@DieyenDualPen 6 дней назад

As far as I know.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

Oh, I have better advice now. Do you know that angle between the paper and the pen ? while you point your pen to the right side like you do. You can apply some force to that angle to make it smaller while you write, it works as support. When you write bellow the line and pointing your pen to your right side, you apply force UNDER the line you're writing in to diminish the angle and gain control of the support.

@hollyjollylollymolly3160 6 лет назад

The right side of paper .

@DieyenDualPen 6 лет назад

Oh this interesting to consider. Haven't thought much of that angle

" He writes very well for a lefthander." ?! Please explain that comment. Some lefties have beautiful handwriting & some righties have awful handwriting...& vice versa on both.

@DieyenDualPen 3 года назад

Haha you're completely correct. I am referring to the technique he is using. I personally know some left handers with beautiful penmanship, but they use finger movement in their writing not arm movement. Marbus in the video is demonstrating arm movement and is the only person I have ever seen any left hander do it as nicely as he does.

@patwagner9308 3 года назад

@imchangingaccountnoreason1103 4 года назад

floating my hand while writing makes my arm si tired

@DieyenDualPen 4 года назад

This technique allows for the pinky and ring finger to slide on the page and for the muscular portion of forearm near elbow to rest on table. Those two points of support are often enough for long writing durations without fatigue.

I'm a lefty and I have done the hook writing style since I can remember.

@DieyenDualPen 2 года назад

As long your comfortable writing that is great. I couldn't find that position comfortable nor was it conducive to the style of writing I am aiming for in this video.

@kjvonly2451 5 лет назад

I’m a leftie. I write like him. He’s using his wrist to balance his writing. He’s not using his arm and gliding over like you are.

Surprisingly I was never forced to write with my right hand. I was in school in Birmingham, Alabama in the late 1930’s. I was taught the Palmer method.

@DieyenDualPen 2 года назад

That's great to hear. Did they offer any specific directions for the left hand?

@@DieyenDualPen No I had already worked out how to position my paper and the teacher would correct my hand placement.
