MSR = Muso shinden ryu
SMR = Shinto muso ryu

And, being left handed was considered rude in ancient Japan, and people were forced to use the right hand. The famous samurai Musashi was said to be left handed.

regarding being left of righthanded. I practise Kendo and since the left hand is doing the cutting and the right hand is merely the guide of the sword I would say yes. Im told by my sensei we actually have an advantage...

This is left-handed actualy. Most cut are done with the left hand holding the base of the tsuka(handle). The right hand near the tsuba(hand guard) is only use to support the blade.

In training, many technique are done left and right to work the entirer body. In the end, been left-handed or right-handed do not matter.

Not really. Real samurais used to cut a head or hand in order to separate it from the opponent's body. ;)))
