Parting The Clouds The Science Of The Martial Arts

This is a book that's long overdue: One that provides information that has never before been published, compiled or analyzed in a way that's designed to help fighters. This is a guide to the science of kicking and punching that can settle the debates about which techniques are the most effective and why. It will help a fighter to fight, an instructor to teach and martial artists to advance by working things out for themselves. There is no magic involved in the martial arts. The force and power that is displayed by an expert fighter is the consequence of rigorous training in the accurate application of physical laws. Understanding how to use these laws of physics to create massive impact forces will provide a personal insight into the practice of correct technique and form. This unique piece of work will act as a technical reference that provides the facts and figures that fighters seek, including records of the maximum force and speed achieved by some of the best present day warriors, helping to answer many of the most difficult questions in the martial arts.

As a former high school science teacher, martial artist, and business owner, I became enthralled with taking my program âThe Physics of the Martial Artsâ into the public school system. My goal was simple; build my martial arts business while teaching my love of the sciences. This book not only chronicles that journey, but it was written as a âhow toâ book for those interested in the art of breaking boards, and concrete blocks. This book is for you, if you are a science teacher who wants to spice up the classroom by using breaking demonstrations to explain Newtonâs 3 laws of Motion, a school owner wanting to improve business, and revenue, or a martial artist, regardless of rank or experience level, who wants to improve his punching and kicking abilities.Anyone who may want to learn more about the incredible power associated with the martial arts.
