The first half of a two-part discussion on the nature and importance of dexterity. Inspired by conversations with Konstantin Komarov, Emmanuel Manolakakis and others, and by the book On Dexterity and Its Development by Soviet era Neurophysiologist Nikolai Bernstein.

Here, we discuss what dexterity is, why its so important, and how it applies to life, health, and Systema training.
