The Difference between my left hand and my left foot

So I realized in Capoeira class today that I cannot do any of the moves that demand more use of the right side of my body. My kicks and defenses are way better with my left than my right.

I just think its weird considering I cannot do anything with my left hand or foot in everyday life. I cannot write, kick a soccer ball or even throw a baseball with my left hand.

I think its an abnormal Capoeira gift... being able to move on the left. Not many people are comfortable like that. But why is it weird??? I can't, for the life of me, do a cartwheel to the right, or kick a meia lua to the right... but these come natural to my left foot.
Somebody explain this logic to me!
