Questions on training with a left hand.

Hello, I’m still relatively new to the MMA scene, having been training for just a month now. In striking classes or basic MMA classes, I’ve been using my left hand for training exercises. This has caused quite a bit of frustration among my fellow fighters, as they either can’t block it or find it difficult to move with it. Yesterday, the trainer pulled me aside to informed me that I must fight right-handed throughout all striking classes. He explained that he can’t train me with my left hand, and doesn’t want to demonstrate how to train with me to the students.

My question for the Reddit should I try to train my left side on my own time and continue classes. I understand that most trainers don’t like left handed, but does anyone have any advice they could share, thanks.
