Default New GURPS player question re: point cost for off-hand training

I'm having trouble interpreting the cost for buying off the off-hand weapon combat penalty for 2-weapon fighting. Am I right that it'd be 5 points? Would that be per weapon specialization?

You're correct. This is basically an errata, and has been corrected in later books. To buy off the off-hand penalty for just a single skill is now a perk, Off-Hand Weapon Training, and thus costs only 1 point. The GM is encouraged to allow someone who's bought four of these perks to just let the player sell them back for full Ambidexterity.

No, OHWT is a one point combat perk (specialize by weapon skill), which is a change that they went with starting in Martial Arts. If you purchase 5 OHWT perks, you exchange them for Ambidexterity [5] at no cost.
