Abstract: A chopsticks training apparatus has a guide having first and second ends. An indentation is provided at or near the first end of the guide. The guide has at least one surface extending between the first and second ends and forming an elongate channel. The user positions a distal tip of a first chopstick in the indentation and a distal tip of a second chopstick in the channel. With the distal tip of the first chopstick held stationary in the indentation, the user practices moving the second chopstick so that its distal tip moves away from and toward the distal tip of the first chopstick while being guided by the surfaces of the channel.
